Help yourself off to a fresh start this year by organizing your apartment here at Canyon Park in Puyallup, WA! Today on the blog we have a few suggestions for how you can create space in your apartment, all to do with furniture! Read on for some creative options.
Bookshelves
A bookshelf is a classic way to display not only your books, but also other trinkets and even framed photos or small art that need their own space. There are plenty of ways you can do this, from choosing an interesting, unconventional bookcase that is itself a decoration to mixing up the book placement, arranging the books by color, or adding something natural (like a plant) to a shelf. Design Sponge has 10 homes that get styling a bookshelf right, plus five tips for your own that you can gain inspiration from as you look for creative ways to style your bookshelf so it can hold even more than just books.
Ottomans
These are great because they (just like the other items on this list) are multi-functional. You can use an ottoman to complete the design of a room, to add space for resting your feet, to add extra seating to a room, and to give you a place to put blankets and pillows you don’t have room to keep on the couch. Wayfair has more than a thousand storage ottoman options you can look through if this sounds suited to your needs and wants.
Cabinets and wardrobes
Sometimes you have things to store that you don’t necessarily want to display. Cabinets, wardrobes, and even armoires come to the rescue for these types of items. Depending on the style and type of piece, you can also use these furniture options to store things like scrapbooks, DVDs, files, or coats. Overstock has plenty of options for armoires, chests, wardrobes, and shoe cabinets you may enjoy.
What are your favorite ways to use furniture or other containers to store your things and create space? Let us know in the comments so we can check them out! Thanks for reading. Good luck organizing. Have fun shopping, if that’s what you end up doing!
