Downsize right: How to maximize your use of small spaces<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The price of homes in urban areas is rising. Whether you\u2019re taking advantage of that fact to downsize or just starting out in the housing market, a small condo is likely the next step.<\/p>\n

Averaging 500 sq. ft., condo apartments dwellers have to become masters of making good use of space. Really, it\u2019s a question of finding furniture with smooth edges and clean lines, so that the eye is fooled into thinking that less is more.<\/p>\n

Of course, the first step in downsizing is getting rid of a lot of clutter, and possibly some older, larger furniture that just won\u2019t work in your new space. So the move is a great time to look forward and find those key accents and pieces that will fit in your space and make it great!<\/p>\n

Look For Furniture That Does Double Duty<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Benches with storage, sofas that become beds\u2026 there are a lot of fabulous ways to furnish a small space without eating up all the floor space! You\u2019re looking for any piece of furniture that can serve more than one purpose.<\/p>\n

One of our favorite storage benches is the Melita Storage Bench from WHi.<\/a> It\u2019s sexy and refined on the outside, with soft fabric and button tufting. Add to that the oodles of storage space on the inside and you\u2019ve got a piece that makes sense in a small space. Keep clutter to a minimum and seating style on high!<\/p>\n

Maximize Underused Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A breakfast bar or kitchen island make great \u2018coffee in the morning\u2019 and \u2018chatting over a cold Sauvignon Blanc in the evening\u2019 areas, with the addition of a couple of stools.<\/p>\n

The great thing about stools is that you can find one to suit any style. If you prefer something more modern and minimalist, with a little hint of industrial, there are plenty of them. If you are more interested in comfort for a long sit down with that glass of wine, those are available too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0!nspire\u2019s Revo Counter Stool <\/a>has a modern design that tends to jive with condo living, with a solid elm wood seat and one-piece metal frame. It\u2019s sturdy and minimalist, in one clean look. However, the true genius behind these stools for a small space is that they are stackable, so if you need them out of the way for a party, it\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

Measure your room and get yourself the biggest bed that will fit in the space without forcing you to launch yourself into it from the doorway!<\/p>\n

Everyone on our sales team covets this one from WHi: the Rimo 54\u201d Bed. <\/a>Why<\/em>? Because it\u2019s simply elegant with vertical panel stitching on the headboard. It\u2019s plush and functional, at the same time. When it comes to furnishing a small space, comfort combined with function is the ideal!<\/p>\n
