We all have laundry to do. It’s not a choice; unfortunately, it’s a fact of life. Some of us go to a laundromat. Some of us are lucky enough to have a laundry room, but sometimes, that laundry room is not equiped with everything we want. Sometimes, the so called “laundry room” is just a closet space big enough to fit the washer and dryer (especially if you live in an apartment). So how do we maximize the use of such a small space? We have a couple tips for you.

Drying Rack

We all have some sort of clothing piece that requires to be hang dried. By adding a drying rack on an unused wall or retractable clothes line, you can amplify the use of your space. The best part is once you’re done it can easily be put away until you need it next time.

Extra Storage

Adding a pedestal under your washer and dryer can give you more storage for that dirty laundry that no one wants to see. You can even organize it by sections which make it easier for laundry day!

…And More Storage

Keeping baskets of all different sizes is a good idea to store trinkets and clothing items that tend to get lost in the laundry room. Make sure they all match too or at least coordinate to keep the room looking trendy.

We’ve all lived in that small apartment that has barely enough room to breathe, but when it’s that small, how do we make it convenient and cute at the same time? It feels almost impossible. Lucky you, we’ve compiled a list of tricks to score that stylish, chic design with just as much comfort.

Murphy Bed

Yes, we know a murphy bed is never ideal and definitely not your first pick, but it will save so much room in such a small apartment. Obviously, this is an idea more for studio apartment, but if you really need more space, don’t be afraid to use it in a one bedroom as well! You can use the extra space as an office or a separate living room or dining room. Having that extra room opens your opportunities in a restricted small apartment.

The Love Seat

Go ahead and use a love seat as your whole couch and add in a couple accent chairs to complement the space. To really add a creative effect, pick out a fun and decorative rug to lift color into the room. This can really help open up the small apartment and make it look larger and livelier.

Knife Strip

With having such a small apartment, every inch of counter space is vital especially in the kitchen. To help save a decent amount of space, skip out on buying that knife block. Instead, follow in the steps of many restaurants and create a magnetic knife strip. It’s a decorative way to store things you use daily. Go ahead and line up those pots and pans as well to use up wall space instead of packing in your cabinets.

Create Rooms

Use curtains and dividers to create the illusion of separate rooms. Depending on how many square feet you have, you can create a whole one bedroom in your small apartment. Just be aware, one medium room is better and easier to decorate than a few extra small rooms.

We hope these few ideas have helped and given you a tad more space in your tight small apartment. If you have any comments, ideas, or questions, let us know below in the comments section!
