5 Tips to Help Save on Space in Your Home in New York
1. Install Shelves – Most shelves can be adjusted up or down so if you need some extra shelf space try adding a shelf in between two others. Plastic shelves are great in the kitchen and corner-shelving units are perfect for knick-knacks and other treasures in your home in New York.
2. Use Storage Units – Let’s face it, homes in New York have little storage space – i.e. closets, basements and garages that you may have been used to in the suburbs, which can make it more than difficult to organize your things. Pick up some storage units from your local housewares store to save on precious space. In the kitchen, you can place spice racks on the counter to free up space for other items in cabinets. In the bedroom, you can hide a container under your bed to store linens and towels. Many coffee tables have extra storage space, which will help eliminate clutter in your living room.
3. Utilize Wall Space ¬– A lot of people over look wall space in their home in New York as a space to organize their things. Pots and pans can be taken out of cabinets and hung on walls and tools can be hung on pegboards. Installing shelves can give you more space for all your favorite knick-knacks.
4. Rotate – When you move to New York you might feel as if you need to get rid of a lot of your favorite things. But this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. If you keep some things in storage and then every so often switch them out, you can save on space and redecorate your apartment!
5. Add a Rod – Closet space in your new home in New York might be less than desirable. But by hanging two rods – one above the other – you can hang all your clothes in a small space.
