Design Tips to Maximize Apartment Space

Any home, regardless of its size, will feel small, cramped, and uninviting when space is not utilized properly. Clutter, awkward furniture arrangements, and clashing colors or styles can detract from the look of your luxury apartment. You can make your Vida Hollywood apartment space feel even larger with these smart design tips, which will help you to maximize storage space and create an open, welcoming atmosphere in your home.

Add Shelves in the Kitchen

Kitchens are often a catch-all space where clutter quickly accumulates. While you may keep dishware and cooking appliances tucked neatly behind cabinet doors, your counters, table, and other horizontal surfaces may feature piles of paper, disorganized odds and ends, and an overabundance of decorative items. Consider adding horizontal space in your kitchen to reduce clutter by placing a bookshelf or decorative end table in this space. Open storage options such as these help your apartment’s kitchen to retain its open and spacious feel while providing a place to keep papers, decorative items, and more off of your functional surfaces. A freestanding double-sided bookshelf can provide a stylish natural divider to separate cooking, dining, and living areas while also acting as a storage solution.

Take Advantage of Built-Ins

Each Vida Hollywood luxury apartment includes a built-in desk to maximize your home workspace. Take advantage of this area to keep your work all in one place, rather than allowing it to spread across your entire apartment. Utilize desktop organizers and letter trays to keep pens, pencils, scissors, tape, sticky notes, and papers organized so you can find them quickly and easily. The space above your built-in desk is a great place to mount a dry erase or bulletin board so you can keep important notes and information in your line of sight without taking up horizontal space. A comfortable but low-profile office chair will complete the look of your built-in desk space.

Create Bathroom Storage

Clutter in the bathroom is a common problem—too many items stored on your counters or bathtub ledges create disharmony and detract from the look of the room. Rather than spread items across every available horizontal surface, group them together in baskets and canisters or place them on serving trays. These solutions will keep important items organized and consolidated so your bathroom becomes cleaner and more functional. Mason jars are another great storage solution for soaps or other small toiletry items. Hanging or suctioned shower and tub caddies are available in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing you to add an upscale storage solution to your bathing area as well. Inside your cabinets, removable shelving and drawer units help to keep items organized. You can also add a small tension rod to hang hairdryers and spray bottles to retain the flat space on the bottom of your vanity for other items.
