Furniture Tips for Small Spaces

Click on the following link to learn about: 9 Furniture Tips for Small Spaces

When living in a condo or small apartment, the majority of the time you must shop for specialized condo or urban living furniture.  There are a lot of new boutique stores that now offer condo furniture - even the Brick and Leon's have departments for condo sized furniture.  Make sure you measure everything before you purchase anything. Measure furniture prior to buying it and then go back to your condo to make sure it is going to fit properly and not take up all the space.

Stick to the basics! The idea is to not cram the place full of stuff.  Use multi-functional furniture and keep the space open and clutter free.  You will need a bed, a sofa, and area to eat.  Most condos will even have a kitchen island, therefore a table isn't a necessity, but more of a luxury.  This will give your home a contemporary touch.  Here, less is definitely more.  That's not to say you shouldn't decorate.  I believe small spaces can be great, but it is important to keep things off the ground and don't have junk everywhere.  Decorate using large mirrors, as they can help make a room actually look much larger.  Also, lighting is essential in bringing out the best in any space - so make sure it is up to par!  Wall art, paintings and patterned frames can help make the place look decorated and put together without adding clutter.


Good luck and have fun decorating, let me know if you have any questions!
