ideas to manage Apartment rooms efficiently

1. Having more space at your entrance to enter or exit conveniently

• Your entrance needs to be highly functional, and easy to move around
• Keep it clear of any obstacles
• At best, place a bench (sitting) to wear/remove shoes, or to place backpacks when rushing in or out of home (school/work)
• If space is short, forego the bench and place wall-mounted hooks, open shelves, and even a large mirror to get the space looking bigger
• Lesser the clutter, the better

2. Vertical and cabinet storage in kitchen

• When the child is a new-born, the room reflects how the parents want to it see. Slowly, the control shifts to the child with all the things that are needed by the growing adult
• Whether your child is a new-born or a teenager, you need to make sure their room is fully functional
• Children should be able to effectively use the room for studying, playing, or just relaxing
• You could maximize space in your apartment rooms by hanging artwork, putting bulletin boards, or different kind of art work that does not further clutter your rooms
• Furniture could be portable or as per needs to use the spaces for different purposes during different stages-of-life and different-times-of-the-day
