Small Space Therapy: NYC Edition
Living in a small apartment in New York City can be a challenge, but it can also be an opportunity to get creative and make the most of your space. Here are a few tips from Apartment Therapy on how to make your small NYC apartment feel more spacious and comfortable:
- Declutter and purge. The first step to making your small apartment feel more spacious is to get rid of anything you don’t need. This means decluttering your closets, drawers, and shelves. If you haven’t used something in the past year, it’s time to let it go.
- Maximize vertical space. One of the best ways to make your small apartment feel more spacious is to maximize vertical space. This means using shelves, drawers, and other storage solutions to store your belongings off the floor. You can also use wall-mounted furniture to free up floor space.
- Use light colors. Light colors reflect light, which makes a room feel more spacious. When choosing paint colors, furniture, and décor, opt for light colors that will make your apartment feel more airy and bright.
- Keep it clean. A clean apartment always feels more spacious than a cluttered one. Make sure to clean your apartment regularly and put things away as soon as you’re done with them.
- Get creative with storage. There are all sorts of creative ways to store your belongings in a small apartment. Get creative with storage solutions and use every nook and cranny to your advantage.
With a little creativity and effort, you can make your small NYC apartment feel more spacious and comfortable. So don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.
