5 Clever Ways to Maximize Space in Your Condo

In every condo there is a need to maximize space, whether it is a studio or the whole top floor with 5 bedrooms. Maximizing space allows your house to seem more organized, spacious and welcoming. When looking for condos for sale at the Lake of the Ozarks or looking to maximize the space you already own, follow these tips to make the most of your condo.

1. Maximizing Your Entryway

 

As the first area that you welcome your guests into your condo, the entryway is often the most cluttered by shoes, coats and children's backpacks. Simple organization and a few additions can make a major difference between clutter and opening up your entryway. You can maximize space by adding a storage bench; this is a good place to store shoes and backpacks, as well as other things that need a place close to the door. Top that off with a wall mounted coat rack, a few shelves for pictures and a mirror for a great accented look. Now you have a beautiful entryway that reflects the open theme of your condo.

2. Opening Up Your Family Room and Living Room

Do you ever find yourself cleaning the family room and living room more often than most other rooms in the house? As a central hub of entertainment and relaxation for most families, it can be difficult at times to keep out the mess and clutter. When looking to maximize these areas, it is best to find multi-functioning furniture. Invest in a coffee table with bottom open shelving, and drawers for magazines and normal table clutter. T.V. stands with drawers and cabinets are great for storing movies and games in a neat way. Additionally, adding a few nice accent end tables with open sides or cabinet doors will give your living areas extra storage room, creating a beautiful spacious look.  

3. Bathroom Storage

The bathroom is probably the most rushed in and out of room in your home. This area is also typically one of the most cluttered rooms due to it's size and contents. For a bathroom, a little more organization can go a long way. Putting baskets under the sink and behind doors can be useful for storing small electrical appliances, such as electric razors and curling irons, when not in use. For more space options, buy a plastic shoe organizer, cut it into three or four sections and attach them on the inside of doors or inside sink cabinets. A ring holder with a round base that matches your bathroom is great for your hair ties and bobby pins. These tips will create a more open and uncluttered look and feel to the smallest room in your condo. 

4. Organize That Kitchen

Your kitchen can be one of the busiest rooms in your condo. The kitchen must be functional, easy to move around in and sanitary, as well as a pleasurable place to cook meals. Cabinets and shelving can be used up pretty quickly by dishes, pots and pans. Getting a good hanging rack for your pots and pans not only opens up space, but it gives your kitchen a look of a real cooking aficionado. Count how many people are in your home and have that many plates, bowls, cups and silverware; the rest can be stored in a box in a designated storage area out of the way until guests are expected. When it comes to canned food or cabinet food, try to think of it like your refrigerator, if it has a date and it is past that, throw it out to make room for something else. Lastly spread out appliances so that everything is not all together. This should give you a great spacious look that has way more functionality and is less cluttered.

5. Get the Most out of Your Bedroom

Your bedroom is your sanctuary, a place of comfort and relaxation where you can go to sleep and wake up everyday to a fresh start. Having a clean and spacious bedroom will maximize your relaxation and comfort in every bedroom in your condo. Having a few flat bins are great for storing out of season clothes under the bed, especially when first sealed with a clothing vac sealer. Utilizing closet organizers to separate clothing, shoes, ties, scarfs and more will yield more functionality to your closet. Get a nice stand up hamper with a lid that matches the theme of your bedroom. Be sure to go through your clothes seasonally to see if they are getting old and faded or aren't fitting right anymore. Take any clothes you don't want or cannot wear anymore, add the other clutter you've been cleaning out and start a yard sale. As an alternative, you can go down to your area's local goodwill and donate for a great cause. Now you can relax in a clean and organized room that matches the beautiful, spacious theme throughout your condo.
