Apartment Space Saving Tips
Grab a pen and take some notes for a few general space saving apartment tips.
- Lots of mirrors! The reflections caused by mirrors allow light to travel all around your apartment.
- Have a vertical view. Hang art higher and use tall, thin furniture. It forces people to look up and makes the space look vaster.
- Keep the floor clean. By keeping clothes off the floor, you will make your space seem bigger.
- Use a striped runner or carpet to make rooms look longer.
- Make use of tiny spaces with small accent items.
