Here are three easy, but genius tactics for making your small space work for you:

1. Stay Golden

When considering colors for your new space, always opt for lighter rather than darker. Light and bright living spaces are incredibly appealing and welcoming.  

Also, look for opportunities to brighten things up by maximizing natural light.  Good lighting is beneficial for both studying and ambiance. Saying no to blackout curtains and darker fabrics keeps light flowing through your space. When everything can be seen in natural light, you'll also find it easier to keep clean and not let clutter pile up in dark corners.

2. Think Vertically

Small living quarters usually equates to small square footage. Considering all of the wall space available is a smart move. Look for opportunities to move things vertically so you don't use up your floor space or make your place feel more crowded. A vertical filing system that can be mounted on walls, wires with clothespins or a series of floating shelves can make a big difference.

3. Expand the Hidden

Closets are already notorious for being small. The benefit of closets expands beyond the storage space. They additionally provide space that is hidden from view. Organizing baskets and bins are a necessity in keeping your personal items hidden and organized.  It helps you, your roommate and your sanity.  Additions of simple towel racks, hand towel rings or other kinds of hooks INSIDE closet space does wonders for maximizing the space for storage. It also makes putting things away and finding them again much easier.

4. Get Organized

Clutter can make any small space feel even smaller. From messy cords to a chaotic desk, little changes in organization can make a BIG difference. Utilize cable clips, cosmetic organizers or even a catch-all tray to clean up space.

Quaint spaces can be tricky, but with a little forethought your space can not only reflect your personality, but keep you organized and loving your surroundings!
