Maximise Space: How to Get the Most Out of Your Apartment at The Arbour
Between hand-me-downs from mum and dad, relics from your old rental, and big splurges at IKEA, it can be easy to end up with too much clutter in your very first home. Without proper organisation and planning, homes can quickly run the risk of feeling overcrowded!
L&Q’s apartments at The Arbour provide the perfect canvas for creative interior styling and savvy storage solutions, so you can easily maximise on space and create clutter-free areas for both working from home and entertaining. Get ready to transform your living space into a functional and stylish haven.
Vertical Space: Shelves and Hooks
Don’t neglect your walls! Install floating shelves or bookcases to take advantage of vertical space, and use hooks and pinboards in entryways and bathrooms for hanging your bags, keys, and towels. Instead of large floor lamps or potted plants, consider uplighters, wall lights and hanging plants! Utilising your vertical space will help keep things organised and accessible without cluttering your surfaces.
Multi-Functional Furniture
Opt for furniture that serves multiple purposes. A plush sofa bed, for example, can transform your living room into a guest room when needed (or simply act as a great spot for film nights with your friends!).
Choose a dining table that can double as a workspace during the day, or a coffee table which comes with handy storage underneath. Folding tables and stackable chairs are also a great space-saving solution.
Mirrors and Lighting
Mirrors can work wonders in small spaces by reflecting light and creating a sense of depth.
Enhance the natural light in your home with strategically placed mirrors near south-facing windows, and invest in well-placed lighting fixtures to brighten up your apartment. Nothing makes a home feel messy and uninviting like dim lighting!
Dividers in Kitchen Cupboards
Invest in dividers and organisers for your kitchen cupboards. They can help you maximise every inch of storage space – which you’ll be thankful for during busy family mealtimes!
Sort your pots, pans, and utensils neatly, ensuring that everything has a designated spot. This not only saves space but also makes cooking much more efficient.
Under-Bed Storage
Make use of the forgotten space under your bed! Invest in a storage bed or drawers that can slot neatly beneath your bed frame – the perfect place to store out-of-season clothing, those extra high heels that only come out once a year, or even just spare bedding.
