Living in New York City can be extremely cozy. When we say cozy, we mean very limited space! The average New York City apartment is approximately 450-550 square feet. For most, a living space of this size can be very challenging – especially if you are moving from a city where you are used to much larger spaces.
It’s always good to get creative with small spaces and make use of products and furniture that best suits your needs. Take a look at these cool shelves! Look at how easy it is to turn useless wall space into significant storage for household items.
The possibilities with these types of products are endless!
If you want to get really creative, you could use a wall unit like this to add some color. Not only are you making excellent use of your space but you’re decorating as well.
This is one of our favorite ideas! Turn your space into a duplex by adding an over head frame to create a bedroom that is separate from your living area. This is a great idea for a studio or an apartment with a loft. Don’t let that extra space go to waste, use your creativity to add a separate living area.
Another GREAT use of an empty corner. At first you might see this as a space that is too hard to decorate, but we see a private office area. Simply mount a shelving unit against the back wall, plug in your computer, grab a chair and you’re all set!
Creative finds like these are crucial to making the most of your living space. When square footage is tight, make good use of your wall space. Fine some great pieces that suit your needs and add decoration to your space!
