Anyone living in an apartment knows the challenges of living in a smaller space all too well. Maximizing your space and keeping everything clean is vital for apartment living. We’ve got you covered with this helpful list of dos and don’ts when you're living in a small apartment.  

 

Dos 

Establish a Cleaning Routine 

When you’re living in a small space, it’s easy for clutter and dust to sneak up on you. You might feel like you just cleaned the apartment, but it’s already looking like a mess. That’s why it’s important to establish a regular cleaning routine, so the mess never gets out of hand. Check out our LVAC-200 Cordless Stick Vacuum. Its lightweight, compact design makes it the perfect tool for small apartments. 

 

Maximize the Space 

It’s a constant uphill battle to find enough space for everything in a small apartment. The best way to do this is to get multi-functional furniture. For example, use a bed frame with dresser drawers built into them, or a wall cabinet with a desk that folds out. Multi-functional furniture can help you solve your space problems in a creative way. 

 

Go Vertical 

Tight on storage space? Try going vertical! It can be hard to fit things into an apartment because they’re too long or too wide, while the space that goes up toward the ceiling remains unused. With limited space, it makes more sense to find furniture and shelves that are higher instead of wider.  

 

Don’ts 

Let the Clutter Build 

Sometimes living in a small space means you need to ask the hard questions. Do I really need the bigger couch? Do I need both a toaster oven and a toaster? Small apartment living means deciding what amenities are non-negotiable and what things you can live without. This kind of minimalist thinking keeps you from filling your apartment with unnecessary items that can be downsized.  

 

Neglect Regular Cleaning 

Even small apartment spaces can feel open and vibrant when they are clean and organized. That’s why it’s vital to keep up with your cleaning routine. When the mess and clutter grow, your apartment will quickly begin to feel cramped and dull. 
 

Neglect Your Air Quality 

There are few things more important than the quality of the air you breathe. Living in a small apartment, it’s easy for dust, allergens, and other contaminants to build up in the air. That’s why we want to help make sure it’s always clean and fresh. Levoit offers a wide range of premium air purifiers and humidifiers, so you never have to worry about your air quality.
