Crafting Comfort in Compact Spaces

Living in a small apartment doesn't mean sacrificing style or comfort. With thoughtful planning and the right furniture choices from One Residence Homes, you can transform your compact space into a cozy oasis. Here are some tips to maximize every inch:

  • Multi functional furniture: Choose furniture with a dual function. For example, a sofa bed or coffee table with hidden storage compartments.
  •  Use vertical space: Think high! Wall-mounted shelves or bookcases not only save floor space, but also draw the eye upwards, making the room feel more spacious. 
  • Light colors and mirrors: Opt for light-colored furniture and walls to create an airy, open atmosphere. Strategically placed mirrors reflect light and give the illusion of a larger space. 
  • Scale and proportion: Pay attention to the scale of your furniture. Choose pieces that are proportionate to the size of your room, and opt for sleek furniture that fits comfortably without clutter.
  •  Maximize natural light: Minimize window treatments, use sheer curtains or blinds to maximize daylight and make your space bright and welcoming.
  • Create zones: Use rugs or place furniture to delimit a sitting area, a dining area and a workspace if necessary. This gives the impression that the space is organized and useful.
  • Declutter regularly: Use storage baskets or bins under beds or in closets to keep essentials close at hand but out of sight.
