Whether you’re moving into a flat in Manchester or a studio in Brighton, making the most of a smaller space starts before the move:
1. Measure Your New Space: Know the layout and dimensions before moving large furniture.
2. Prioritise Multipurpose Furniture: Think ottomans with storage or fold-out desks.
3. Use Vertical Space: Invest in tall shelving or stackable storage bins.
4. Vacuum Bags for Soft Goods: Save space by compressing clothes, bedding, and towels.
5. Donate the Bulky Stuff: If it doesn’t fit, don’t force it—give it a second life through charity shops.
6. Digitise Where You Can: Scan old documents or photos to reduce physical clutter.
Smaller homes can feel more spacious when you’re strategic with your packing and furniture choices.
