It’s surprising how much furniture we accumulate that comes with us every time we move. Kitchen supplies, unused clothing, hand-me-down furniture -- the list goes on and on. By going through these things, you can easily eliminate those items that you no longer use or benefit from.

Go ahead and start with those things at the back of the cupboards gathering dust -- for instance that deviled egg dish you got at a flea market. If you can’t remember why you have something, take it to a charity. You’ll be surprised at how roomy your pantry and closets become! And don’t forget to evaluate your furnishings as well. Maybe consider downsizing from a large sectional to a smaller loveseat and coffee table to better fit your Zionsville apartment. 

Look For Ways To Establish Hideaway Storage Spaces

Living comfortably in an apartment means you will have to work in the existing floor plan. Fortunately, that doesn’t set in stone that you can’t look at it in a different and creative ways. By thinking vertically, implementing storage inside of furniture, and getting creative with your shelving options, you can make storage almost anywhere.

Begin this new thinking in the kitchen. Install spice racks on the inside of or below the cabinets to tidy up the counter space. Magnetic knife holders take cutlery off the counter or free up a drawer. Or purchase a brightly-colored tea kettle or dutch oven that shows like an art piece on the stove to limit it from taking up cabinet space.

Then try locating some furnishings that can double as a storage solution. How about a secret storage ottoman to put away board games or a sofa with space below for blankets and decorative pillows? Drawers or bins under your bed can hold off-season clothes. And don’t forget that putting rarely used things in your detached garage can help maximize some apartment space in Zionsville.

Open up your home with natural lighting by putting in some chiffon curtains. The elimination of heavy curtains or blinds will let in more light to be shared in the apartment and allow your living areas room to breathe. Or, decorate with light and add some fun fixtures that remove dark, claustrophobic areas.

Don’t want to install new curtains? Create the illusion of additional light by putting mirrors in your apartment. Mirrors used throughout your home can immediately make any room appear larger.
