A happy life in a small apartment is impossible without proper storage organization.
Cluttered shelves, hard-to-reach items and massive furniture cause irritation and make it difficult to maintain order, says designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.
Let's look at common mistakes that are made when arranging a small space so that you can avoid them when creating coziness in your home.
Bulky cabinets
Massive furniture in small apartments is the worst possible evil. It takes up too much space, limits the space and often turns out to be insufficiently spacious.
Therefore, try to refuse free-standing cabinets and replace them with built-in models. They are compact, have many shelves and rails, convenient doors and the ability to choose the height and depth.
You can even order a cabinet that goes all the way to the ceiling to increase storage space and avoid dust accumulation. To make the furniture blend into the space, paint it to match the walls.
Empty walls in the living room
Owners of small apartments cannot afford to leave walls empty – otherwise they will not have enough storage space.
Instead, they should use wall cabinets, shelves, and modular systems. Avoid the idea of leaving a wall with just a TV, and instead install a TV wall with drawers or a hanging cabinet for books, documents, and other items.
Bed or sofa without drawers
Whether you choose a bed or a sofa for your bedroom, it is important that they have storage drawers. Modern models with niches are stylish, roomy and can replace a chest of drawers, a nightstand or a wardrobe.
