It doesn't matter if you reside in a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, or a penthouse, you will probably find your family looking for more storage in your apartment. Fortunately, maximizing apartment space in Westfield is simpler than it first appears. From removing unused items to installing new storage, here are some simple yet effective ways to make your living space much more open and airy. 

Maximize Apartment Space in Westfield With A Simple Declutter

It’s fascinating how much furniture we collect that goes with us from place to place. Kitchen gadgets, old clothing, dated furniture -- the list is endless. By going through these items, you can easily get rid of those items that you no longer need or benefit from.

Begin with the items at the back of the pantry collecting dust -- for instance that deviled egg tray you got at a flea market. If you can’t remember why you have that item, give it to a charity. You’ll be amazed at how organized your cupboards and closets become! And don’t forget to look at your furnishings as well. Maybe consider downsizing from a large sectional to a quaint loveseat and coffee table to better fit your Westfield apartment. 

Look For Ways To Establish Secret Storage Spaces

Living comfortably in an apartment means you have to work with the existing floor plan. Luckily, that doesn’t say you can’t look at it in a different and creative ways. By thinking vertically, implementing storage within furniture, and getting innovative with your shelving options, you can find storage spots almost anywhere.

Start this creative thinking in the kitchen. Add spice organizers on the inside of or under the cabinets to free up some counter space. Magnetic knife racks get cutlery off the counter or clean up a drawer. Or buy a colorful tea kettle or dutch oven that shows like an art piece on the stove instead of taking up cupboard space.

Then try identifying some furnishings that can serve as a storage solution. What about a hideaway ottoman to tuck away board games or a sofa with storage underneath for blankets and decorative pillows? Drawers or bins under the bed can store off-season clothes. And don’t forget that storing rarely used things in your detached garage can help maximize some apartment space in Westfield.

The Power Of Illusion Makes You Appreciate The Space You Have

Just because you have a small floor plan should not mean your apartment living space has to feel cramped.

Open up your living space with natural lighting by putting up some translucent curtains. The elimination of bulky curtains or blinds will let in more light to come in the apartment and allow your space room to breathe. Or, illuminate the room with light and add some fun fixtures that eliminate drab, claustrophobic areas.

Don’t want to install new curtains? Provide the illusion of extra light by adding mirrors in your area. Mirrors used throughout your living space can instantly make any room look larger.
