If you take your bathroom, for example; by keeping the toilet, sinks, and bath or shower clean, you won’t have to worry about replacing them when they break or fall apart.

Instead of going out and purchasing harsh chemical cleaners, you can use white vinegar and citrus juice to get that professional quality shine and clean smell for your bathroom. This also controls germs and bacteria that grow.

Here are some tips for making your small apartment seem larger than it is.

1. Choose your paint color wisely.
When choosing the color palette for a small room, choose a light color for the walls, and instead, jazz up the room with accessories in bold colors. Let the walls ‘fade-away’, and your eye travel to the objects that contain your favorite colors.

2. Paint horizontal stripes that are similar in color.If the room lacks area, paint it with large horizontal stripes that are similar in color.
If your space has low ceilings, paint vertical stripes. This gives the illusion of a taller space.

Play with different thicknesses and different spacing between the stripes throughout the room for a fun and spontaneous look.

3. Choose the right furniture.This is important. Measure your space before buying anything, and use masking tape to block out areas of an empty room that you would feel comfortable filling. Use the space for a couple of days and decide if the size of the boxed-out areas feels okay.
Bring a tape measure to the furniture store. Ask the salesperson if the furniture on the showroom floor comes in different sizes or is customizable. Also, be open to choosing something that is different than the original idea you had in your mind.

Will be back with more. Meanwhile if you have any please do share it with us.
