1. Think Vertical
It’s no secret that in Singapore, homes are built vertically to maximise space. So why not take a little inspiration and opt for storage that can be mounted on the wall? Think built-in wall shelves, tables, wall mirrors, beds that fold back into the wall — the list is endless! This frees up your floor space and also provides more opportunities for Pinterest-worthy wall decor.
2. Find Hidden Storage
Another must for your new abode is some stealthy storage planning. And no, we don’t mean chucking stuff in the storeroom and hoping for the best! A space-savvy trick is to pick out multi-tasking furniture that doubles as storage, such as installing shelf compartments under the kitchen island, pull-out drawers under the bed, and even beds with stash behind the headboard.
3. Invest in Space-saving Appliances
Consider investing in a good projector and ceiling fans for extra legroom in your condo unit. We tend to underestimate how much space a TV can take up in our home with speakers, a TV cabinet, and a slew of other accessories. Maybe the friendly salesperson who had you convinced all these were necessary for an enjoyable viewing experience was too good at sales.
A home projector that conveniently hooks up to your Wi-Fi is preferred. Look forward to recreating some movie magic by kicking back to a relaxing Netflix viewing that projects onto your living room wall.
4. Ask Your Interior Designer About an Open-concept Kitchen
Kitchen interior design that does not come with walls right from the get-go is great news if you are looking to maximise your home design. Open-concept kitchens top every millennial homeowner’s renovation list for many reasons; they are aesthetically pleasing, open up a home, and free up space for a trendy kitchen island straight out of HGTV.
5. Apply Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method
Minimalist home design may be the right direction to take with a compact apartment. With its emphasis on quality over quantity, a minimalist’s lifestyle mantra is instrumental for a less cluttered and overall more spacious feel to any home.
Or better yet, take the advice of Marie Kondo, the decluttering guru who encourages homeowners to keep items that ‘spark joy’ and throw out the rest that doesn’t. This way, you’re left with only the essential belongings that make you and your whole family happy.
Through these tips, we think you are ready to make the most of the space in your new flat! Your new home is sure to feel airy, spacious, and, most importantly, filled with joy. After all, that’s what homes are for: a place guaranteed to speak to your heart and where joy sparkles everywhere.
