💸 Rent Went Up? Let’s Make Your Space Level Up.
When January rent increases hit, your space can suddenly feel… a little less spacious 😅
The good news? Downsizing doesn’t have to feel like downgrading.
Here are 7 smart steps to make a smaller space work harder (and look better):
1️⃣ Keep the MVPs front and center
Store what you use daily within easy reach — bench the rarely used items elsewhere.
2️⃣ Design for real life, not square footage
Your space should serve how you actually live, not what just takes up the most room.
3️⃣ Declutter before you reorganize
If it hasn’t been used in a year, it might be time to let it go (or let storage hold onto it).
4️⃣ Go vertical, not horizontal
Wall shelves, hooks, and tall storage keep floors clear and rooms feeling bigger.
5️⃣ Create multi-purpose zones
A desk can double as a vanity. A bench can hide storage. Let your furniture multitask.
6️⃣ Use storage to rotate, not eliminate
Seasonal clothes, décor, and gear don’t need to live in your apartment year-round.
7️⃣ Leave breathing room
Open space isn’t wasted space — it’s what makes small homes feel calm and intentional.
