Adding Space to Your Home Without Adding On

February 8th, 2010

If your living space is feeling a bit cramped or cluttered, and you have been thinking about expanding the size of your property, there are many questions to consider.

Before you break down those walls or list your condo, Lorraine Kuschmierz recommends simply re-thinking your space. There may be far less extensive and expensive ways to work with your space-deprived home.

Lorraine Kuschmierz blogs about some expert tips that just may give you the look and feel of that extra space you’ve been longing for.

“Rethink it. Work underutilized space to your advantage. Would your dining room be more workable as a home office? Use part of your hall closet for extra linens or pantry items. That unused bedroom could be a sizable walk-in closet.

Rearrange furniture. Place furniture to optimize the function and flow of your room. Remove bulky, crowding pieces and invest in low, sleek furnishings for a clean, uncluttered sightline.”

The space you have been looking for may be right there under your nose, or maybe under the clutter. But it’s nice to know that you have options when it comes to giving your living area the look and feel of more space.
