You’ve moved into your new condo, and it’s a perfect fit…for you, but perhaps not for your furniture. Making the most of your living space can be challenging, but there are shops and resources to help you maximize your condo’s floor plan. Multifunctional pieces, small-scale items, and smart storage options allow you to use space effectively, without sacrificing style. Think up, not out, and play with lighter tones to give even the most cramped space a more open feel. When it comes to furniture, one size does not fit all- keep these cues in mind when updating your small space for optimum function, area, and style. Multifunctional and convertible pieces add value to your space. An ottoman that doubles as storage space can also be used for additional seating or, with a wooden tray, becomes an end table. A drop-front chest can transform from a storage space to a workspace to an entertainment piece.

Furniture designers now make beautiful small-scale sofas that offer ample space without taking up a lot of room. Some of these feature slim track arms, with the same width as other sofas, but offer more seating space than a sofa traditional arms. Lighter colors help to create a more airy and open look. Use neutral colors for walls and larger furniture pieces, and then brighten your condo with colorful accents. Furnishing your condo in your own unique style can be fun and gratifying, especially with the help of some of the shops and stores in and nearby the Lakeshore/Park Lawn neighborhood.
