Give your studio apartment in Lagos<\/strong> a touch of luxury by creating a fantasy of extra space. To achieve this, choose furniture that can be seen through. It can be made of glass or acrylic. You should be able to see underneath the surface through <\/a>its legs. Such furniture takes up less visual space, creating a look that’s lighter in visual weight. Mirrors can also create the illusion of more space in a room. Also, you can use curtains, choose the longest curtains your space will allow, hang them closer to the ceiling and make sure they either touch the ground, puddle slightly or are just shy of the floor. Most people will use 84″ curtains by default. This will help give a plush look to your studio apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because you have a limited space, your storage options are also limited. Smaller belongings can easily make your apartment cluttered look if they’re left lying around. You can try storing your smallest items in attractive baskets<\/strong>, boxes and bins. Not only do these come in a variety of stylish shapes, colours, and sizes, but they’re very affordable<\/a>! Open shelving is also preferable in a small space, but you need a good media console to hide all your wires.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn the best Furniture Placement Tactics<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"furniture<\/span><\/p>\n

Play around with the placement and <\/strong>orientation of your furniture<\/strong>,<\/a> you can fit more than you originally anticipated. (This doesn’t cost a dime) For example, maybe you have a bookcase or even a small dresser you’d like to keep but it doesn’t actually fit in the room you want it in. If your room has a closet, then try storing some smaller case pieces there instead. Sometimes just rotating a piece, or placing it in a different spot relative to other pieces that you usually group that piece with, can save or create space. You can try placing your small buffet table at an angle near the kitchen bar to fit it into the dining area. Additionally, don’t be afraid to float furniture that is finished on all sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make extra money from the off sold items. This can be used to buy items that are not only a better fit for your space but is something that you love and want to have in your home.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getting a good apartment in Nigeria can be really stressful.
