Making the Most Out of Your Space
The thing about real estate
is that it never grows bigger. What makes it worse is that you often
find yourself having more and more stuff to store leaving you with
less and less space to work with.
Fortunately, the problem
is not without its solutions. And if you’re tough enough to brave
some of these measures, you may be able to reclaim lost space and
maximize what you have.
- The principal principles
The main idea in making space is being able to use it well. This
does not only mean getting the smallest items but also allowing an
efficient flow of activity within a space.
For example, instead of settling for a small kitchen AND a small
dining room, why not allot a big kitchen space and make it work
around a dining table setting? Or perhaps combining the living room
with a home office setup, which makes entertaining clients a
possibility.
- The right stuff
Fortunately, appliance and furniture designers have caught on to
this need and have developed a wide range of products making the
most out of your real estate. A great trend is giving a single item
multiple functions such as sofa beds. For household appliances, a
machine incorporating an oven toaster and coffee maker are great
space savers. Even office equipment such as fax machines, copiers
and printers have been integrated into one device saving desktop
space.
- Space saving savvy
It is also important to know some tricks of the trade that saves you
more space. Some are listed below:
- In designing a small room, focus on a corner of the room and build
the layout around it. You’ll find that as you move out from the
corner, you’re maximizing every inch of space. By the time you’ve
reached the edge of the room, your activity area has been laid out
completely but doesn’t feel crowded.
- Don’t overlook vertical space. Build tall shelves. (Even ones that
almost reach the ceiling!) Place frequently used items on the lower
shelves and less-needed items on the top. Don’t forget to have a
ladder ready though.
- Conduct regular maintenance and sorting. Be vigilant in keeping
your spaces neat to avoid clutter. Also make it a habit to take
stock of what’s stored in your space and decide what you can do
without.
With a little elbow grease, some prudence and a lot of creativity,
finding ways to fully use the space you’ve got will make for a
home/office that’s more fun to live/work in with still some room to
spare.
