How to get more life out of your small living space
Small as they are, we love our Kings Park homes. At best, our homes are a grand total of 960 square feet. Minimal square footage encourages us to explore creative ways to get the most out of our living space. Clear the clutter. Go through your closets every six months. If you don’t use it, give it away. If you prefer to make a little money, Facebook Marketplace is a fast and easy way to sell your unused stuff. And the lower your price, the faster someone will take it off your hands. Rethink your furnishings. If you are in the market to purchase new furniture, choose pieces that are tall and provide storage, rather than short decorative items. You can even design your own wall unit with modular furnishings configured to your unique lifestyle and storage needs. Custom configured wall units are available at most furniture stores. After your new furnishings are in place -- add decorative bins, baskets and boxes. These go a long way to provide additional storage space. Optimize your foyer. Unless the hall closet has been removed, every Kings Park unit has a large vacant space next to the front door. This space is a perfect location for shelves, cabinets, or decorative and useful, hall trees. If you’re planning a kitchen renovation, consider extending your tile into the foyer and add matching kitchen cabinets in this open space. For a smart and less expensive foyer solution, install a two-panel sliding closet door – this will instantly create a convenient storage space for all those sporting goods.
