Have you ever heard anyone say “My apartment has way too much storage space?” Nope, me either. We all know that its human nature to collect and whether you live in a tiny apartment or the Taj Mahal, the “stuff” you own naturally expands to fill the space provided.

Finding adequate storage is a challenge for any apartment renters. Living in a small area fifteen stories high doesn’t give you a lot of expansion options! Luckily, we have some tips to get that extra storage space out of your condo.

In the bedroom

1. Store clothes under your bed. Get some of those huge plastic storage boxes of various shapes and sizes to take advantage of space between the floor and your bed.

2. Don’t forget the he

When designing a room, there is a lot of factors to consider like the following:
 1. What is the Colour of  the Walls? Walls play a vital role when it comes to picking the right colour of your sofa set/livingroom furniture. If your wall is a light colour, go for dark furniture and vice versa. If for some reason you can't avoid picking on the same colour of furniture that match your carpet, throw in some canvas paintings to your wall to highlight some colour and have contrast. 2. Is the flooring Hardwood, Vinyl or Carpet? Flooring plays a big factor when

Gone are the days of modern furniture only being available in spreads of high-fashion magazines. With just a quick browse on our website or a visit to one of our Canada-wide stores, you can have the modern apartment life/condo living you have long been wanting. What's more exciting is that you do not need to go beyond your budget to fill your space with elegant and classy designs! Before heading to a local warehouse, you can start with the planning and using your creativity to complete the picture by choosing appropriate colours in order to maximize the space! 

1. Evaluate the space you are working with. Is the ceiling high? What is the room's shape? 2. Define the purpose of each space and make a list of the furniture you need. [caption id="attachment_431" align="alignleft" width="608"]

There's always that one space in your house, that people find it hard to decorate. Most often than not, that space is the livingroom. From experience it seems people just simply don't know where to start. Decorating shouldn't cause us grief, it should be a fun process. Starting with a plan always make everything easier. We have a 3 step plan that we use when starting any new room: 1. Style: Like we mentioned above, this is the first step to decorating. Carefully think about what style you want and move on from there. Think about what will flow well with the rest of your home. The key here is, let your true personality shine! 2.Use Color to Set the Mood:

It’s no secret that trends change and fashions come and go. In a day and age where there is increasing pressure to keep up with the Jones’s, and boredom with last year’s model sets in quickly, a smart decorator needs to find a way to shop on a budget.

When purchasing furniture for your home, there are many things you need to take into account, but one of the most important is measuring! Depending on the width of your doorways, hallways and stairs, bringing in new furniture could be a challenge! Below is a list of steps you can follow when purchasing furniture. Make sure to make notes of your measurements to reference when you are shopping around and/or scheduling delivery! 1. Measure Your Room: Measure the length of your walls, the height from floor to ceiling and the size of your windows in the room that you wish to place your new furniture. Keep in mind to mark down where your windows and doorways are positioned on the wall. You may also need to take into account the placement of any furnace/AC vents on the floor, closets, any baseboard heating and any electrical outlets in the walls.
