When you live in a small space, you have to make every square foot count. At Contempo Space, we understand this challenge and offer a range of solutions to help you make the most of your living room and bedroom.
Optimizing Furniture Choices
1. Get Mirrored Furniture
Mirrors are a secret weapon in small space living. They reflect light and create an illusion of depth, making a room feel larger than it actually is. We offer a mirrored option on almost every piece in our catalog, including wardrobes closets, armoires, pier wall headboards, entertainment centers, and dressers.
2. Select the Right Sized Furniture
Choosing furniture that fits your room is crucial. Oversized pieces can overcrowd your space, making it feel cramped. Undersized pieces can cause gaps of wasted space. That's where we come in. At Contempo Space, you can customize the dimensions to ensure your furniture fits your space perfectly.
Maximize Storage Space
3. Utilize Higher Storage
One often overlooked way to maximize storage is to use the vertical space in your room. Toppers for wardrobes, for instance, can provide additional storage without taking up any extra floor space. We offer such toppers for most of our wardrobes.
4. Opt for Furniture with Built-in Storage
Furniture with built-in storage, such as beds with drawers, can provide extra storage space while maintaining a clean look.
5. Consider Corner Storage
Don't forget about your corners. Corner wardrobes can turn these often overlooked spaces into useful storage areas.
6. Maximize Bedroom Storage with a Pier Wall Storage Bed
A pier wall storage bed can be a game-changer for small bedrooms. With built-in storage units on either side of the bed and additional overhead compartments, these beds offer an all-in-one storage solution. Not only do they provide ample space to store your belongings, but they also help keep your room tidy and organized. This way, you can make the most of your floor space without compromising on storage. You can even take this further by using a platform bed with built-in shelves.
At Contempo Space, we offer an array of stylish pier wall storage beds that can seamlessly fit into your bedroom decor while optimizing your storage capacity.
Color and Light
7. Choose Furniture in Lighter Colors
Light colors can make a room feel bigger and brighter. Our furniture offers options for white and other light hues that can help enhance the openness of your space.
8. Lights and Windows
Natural light can do wonders for a small space. Make the most of your windows, and supplement with well-placed artificial lighting to keep your space bright and inviting.
Strategic Arrangement of Furniture
9. Place Large Pieces of Furniture Against Walls
This can free up the center of the room and create a more open feel.
10. Use Rugs to Define Separate Spaces Within a Room
Rugs can help segment a room into different areas, making the space feel larger and more organized.
11. Avoid Blocking Walkways to Maintain Flow
Ensure your furniture arrangement allows for easy movement around the room. This not only makes the space more functional but also contributes to a sense of spaciousness.
12. Place Mirrors Opposite Windows to Reflect Light
Mirrors can help bounce light around the room, making the space feel brighter and larger. Consider this when placing one of our mirrored pieces.
13. Use Mirrors to Create the Illusion of More Space
Strategically placed mirrors can create the illusion of depth, making your room seem more spacious than it actually is.
14. Consider Room Dividers for Large Open Spaces
If your room is an open plan, consider using room dividers. They can help create distinct zones within the space, making it feel larger and more organized.
