Maximizing apartment space

Whether living in a dorm or an apartment, students living independently for the first time may can find it difficult to adjust to a significantly smaller space. With the need to express individuality and yet maintain function, they could be confronted by a decorating dilemma. However, there are several easy tips for maximizing apartment space.

Create zones. Cut the apartment in zones. Most apartments already guide the owner in this, with the kitchen in one area and the bathroom in another. Still, the owner should divide the remaining floor space for specific areas. Set aside one area as the bedroom, another for work. Use simple decorating techniques to divide the areas. Maintaining distinct areas will also allow you to focus on the specific activity the area was set for (eating in the dining area, sleeping in the bedroom etc.) and maintain balance and function.

Maximize furniture. It is best to get bigger, but more functional, furniture rather than have smaller mono-use pieces. If your bed frame will lord over a significant floor area, ensure that it comes with additional storage space or has enough space at the bottom to hide some boxes. Most furniture are designed to have multiple functions to address small-space living. These pieces also come in a variety of designs to suit personal style.
