If you need to maximize the space you have available and are looking for ways to stay organized once you have settles into your new penthouse or apartment, there are several easy ideas you can try. Many of these works well for any living arrangement, including life at The Shephard:
- Work Within the Layout- us what is there and take advantage of the unique design and layout features to help you set up your space and design the perfect place for you to call your own!
- Use furniture wisely. A big couch may be better than several smaller chairs or loveseats. Think about how much space you need for yourself and your friends or family and minimize clutter by leaving the extra piece behind.
- Create nooks and feature corners. Breakfast and reading nooks can also double as a space for homework or as a game space when friends come to visit- and it saves you valuable floor space.
- Vertical storage shelving. These unique storage options give you the storage space you need without taking up a lot of room. If you have areas open for storage but no shelves or bins fit easily, consider making some customized shelves or storage bins.
- Hidden storage surprises. Many choices are available when it comes to hidden storage- shelving on the back side of doors and cabinets, under the bed storage bins, and others are all great options!
- Hooks and pegboard. Hooks can be installed just about anywhere to provide instant storage space for coats, jackets, purses, or other items that can be hung up. Pegboards are also great for customizing storage space on walls by giving you plenty of area to hang odds and ends.
