so most small apartments get a batter up
because you think that you can't fit
everything that you need in there which
isn't true you just want to make sure
that all of your pieces work double duty
for you think about storage and any
place that you can get it so fits in
your nightstands your side tables your
coffee tables your closets make sure
you're maximizing on storage you know
closet is a lot of real estate so a lot
of people leave it as kind of the zone
that they don't think about they think
as long as you have a rod in there and
they stuff a bunch of things at the
bottom that's it but it pays sometimes
to maximise on the storage get somebody
coming in there a cabinetry person that
could put little drawers and little
shelves to make sure that everything
that you have has its own place
make sure your furniture works double
duty to you for instance let's say you
have an art piece that when you open it
up it becomes a pegboard your coffee
table opens up to a dining table that
you can get a lot of Ottomans that open
up for storage these are items that can
save space in your home and also make it
feel larger don't be afraid also to
create some really bold movements in the
home for instance a really large art
piece when you walk in the door or over
the sofa can look beautiful an accent
wall in a bold color so have fun with a
little bit it is a play on scale but the
most important thing is functionality so
making sure that all of your spaces and
all of your furniture work as much
double duty as possible and also make
sure that things can be moved out of the
way so if you have people over and you
have to move the coffee table out of the
way that you have a space to do that so
just be aware that everything has a
place within the home and everything
functions for different uses
