5 Tips to Get More Apartment Space
Get rid of the clutter.
It’s easy to clutter your small apartment when you continue to fill it with unnecessary things. Remove the clutter, and keep only what you need. Sometimes the minimalist lifestyle is the best choice when living in such as a small place.
Rearrange the space.
Maybe you have more room than you thought you had. All it takes is moving things around to make the best use of the space. Consider rearranging the furniture to create a better flow throughout the apartment.
Use the walls to your advantage.
Small apartments only have so much floor space. When you’re running out of room, start using the walls as an extra storage area. Shelves, racks, and hooks can give you added space, putting things where you need them but also keeping them out of your way.
Choose the right furniture.
Big, bulky furniture can make a small apartment look even smaller. Invest in tables and chairs with exposed legs, and opt for bookshelves and nightstands that are partially open. It will give the illusion of more space and allow more light to move through the room.
Keep things out of sight.
Storage bins come in handy for keeping things out of sight in your tiny place. They’re also stackable, so they won’t take up as much floor space. If you can, consider investing in furniture with built-in storage to create more space, such as beds with drawers and ottomans with storage compartments.

Storage units are the ideal option for gaining extra space when you need it. You can keep things stored away in a unit and maintain a clean, uncluttered flow in your studio apartment. Let Access Self Storage in Haledon, NJ help you select the right unit that fits your storage needs and budget.
