Regardless if you reside in a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, or a penthouse, you may find yourself needing more storage in your apartment. Luckily, maximizing apartment space in Westfield is easier than you think. From removing unused items to putting in new storage, here are some quick yet useful ways to make your apartment much more open and airy. 

Maximize Apartment Space in Westfield With A Easy Declutter

It’s amazing how much furniture we accumulate that comes with us from place to place. Kitchen supplies, outgrown clothing, broken down furniture -- the list goes on and on. By sifting through these items, you can easily eliminate those items that you no longer can fit or benefit from.

Go ahead and start with the outdated stuff at the back of the pantry accumulating dust -- like that deviled egg serving plate you found at a flea market. If you can’t remember why you have that thing, take it to a charity. You’ll be surprised at how clutter-free your pantry and closets become! And don’t forget to evaluate your furnishings as well. Think about downsizing from a cumbersome sectional to a cozy loveseat and coffee table to better suit your Westfield apartment. 

Look For Ways To Create Hidden Storage Spaces

Living comfortably in an apartment means you have to work within the current floor plan. However, that doesn’t say you can’t look at it in a new and creative ways. By thinking vertically, finding storage within furniture, and getting resourceful with your shelving options, you can locate storage spots almost anywhere.

Begin this innovative thinking in the kitchen. Add spice shelves on the inside of or under the pantry to free up some counter space. Magnetic knife racks get cutlery off the counter or free up a drawer. Or purchase a colorful tea kettle or dutch oven that looks like an art piece on the stove as opposed to taking up cupboard space.

Then try identifying some furniture that can double as a storage solution. How about a storage ottoman to tuck away board games or a sofa with storage space under it for blankets and decorative pillows? Drawers or containers under a bed can hide off-season clothes. And don’t forget that storing rarely used items in your detached garage can help maximize some apartment space in Westfield.

The Power Of Illusion Can Help You Appreciate The Space You Have

Just because you have a compact floor plan doesn’t mean your apartment living area has to feel tiny.

Lighten up your living space with natural lighting by putting in some chiffon curtains. The removal of heavy curtains or blinds will let in more light to come in the home and allow your space room to breathe. Or, illuminate the room with light and add some cute fixtures that eliminate dreary, claustrophobic areas.

Don’t want to install new curtains? Provide the illusion of additional light by adding mirrors in your apartment. Mirrors used throughout your apartment can quickly make any room feel larger.
