Using Small Spaces Effectively

Maximizing the small spaces in your home can make a real difference in how you best utilize those spaces. Whether you’re working with a mudroom, closet, lonely corners, or an office, there are many useful ways to not only make the most of these spaces but also to create the illusion of a larger space. Take a look at some tried and true methods for using small spaces effectively as well as the local professionals who can help you achieve your goals.

Storage solutions for every space

Whether trying to make the most of small office spaces or rethinking closet storage, the value of built-in shelving and cabinets can’t be overstated. Walk-in, reach-in, children’s, and utility closets can be improved with built-in systems that utilize every square inch of the closet. Furthermore, closet systems help you to reduce clutter and organize your storage spaces.

Design multipurpose spaces

Another clever way to make the most of your space is by designing multi-purpose rooms. Depending on your needs, you may find that designing an office space that also doubles as a play area or a laundry room that also functions as the pantry is what you need. To maximize the diversity with which you’re able to maximize a space depends a lot on fixtures and built-ins.

In an office space that you’d also like to use as a child’s play area, storage, and surface space are important. Built-in cabinets and counters that double as both desk and toy storage as well as a desktop and crafting surface allow your space to serve its dual purpose. Thinking this way about other small areas can surely help you to maximize your space. With solutions like custom pull-out shelves, you can have your multifunctional space outfitted in no time.

And then there was light

The greatest gift you can give a small space is the gift of natural light. For starters, natural light creates the illusion that the room is bigger than it actually is. Moreover, adding windows to a room can limit the need for cumbersome and clunky light fixtures and lamps. Additionally, natural light is said to improve your mood, so if you can incorporate natural lighting into your small space, you can create a warm and welcoming room that you’ll be happy to work and live in. If your small space butts up to an exterior wall, a new window can easily be installed. Consider calling Window Nation to see if this is a possibility for your space.
