How to Maximize Space in a Small Apartment

My fiance and I will be moving to a cute little town by the beach (as I mentioned in yesterday's post). We were originally going to move into a 700 sq ft apartment. This got my wheels turning....
We are currently living in a place that is 1400 sq feet, I couldn't even imagine splitting that in half. We ended up going with a much bigger space, but it got me thinking how I would have arranged everything...

Create a desk/office space in the living room behind the couch....
bede
Add shelving vertically to create more storage space...
bed
Add ladders to each side of the bed- add a lamp, books, alarm clock, etc. 
rail
Use molding to hang your shoes on a wall
BR
Make the most of a small bathroom with multiple storage areas

Extra storage

  2. Excellent tips.
    And the number one thing that people don't utilize in their small homes is the vertical space. Use the height guys - lots of shelving!

  3. Oh, wow! This is so wonderful! We live in a pretty small space and I'm always looking for new ideas of how to maximize the little space that we do have--the molding as a shoe holder is genius!:)

  5. These are such great ideas. I really like the ladder idea (it's rustic and pretty!)

  7. I am currently living in an 800 sq foot condo and let me tell you, it's rough. I've shocked myself in my ability to make the most out of the space I have.
