The indefinite work-from-home policy put down by employers considering the Covid-19 pandemic has everybody focusing on home improvement now more than ever. With work and school paraphernalia moved home, space has become one of the prime concerns for most families. This is so because families that purchased home within the last 3 years or 5 years could not afford too big a home due to rising real estate prices. As per a report by Economic Times, the average property size declined by around 12% in the last 5 years – fixing the average size of a home currently at 1260 sqft.
If you are facing space and storage issues at home, here are a few quick tips that could help you get by:
- Get rid of what you do not need
The first rule to maximizing space in a home is to only buy/keep things that you truly need. Hoarding things that you “could” probably use in the future will only add to the clutter. If you are looking to revamp your home, consider beginning by holding each item around the house and asking yourself if you really need it.
- Limit your appliances
Unless you have plenty of space as in an HM home, limit the number of appliances you buy. Massive deals and discounts on online shopping websites has us all hoarding on popcorn makers and toaster ovens that we never put to use! Since the kitchen is the place where the maximum action takes place, it is advisable to keep it minimalistic and organised so that the post-cooking cleanup is hassle-free.
- Invest in multi-purpose furniture
If you are put up in a studio apartment, the best way to make more room in a constricted space is to buy multi-purpose furniture. A sofa that doubles as a bed, a book shelf or rack that can be folded out to be used as a work table, or a dining set that fits all the chairs in perfectly are some of the furnitures you could consider getting.
Alternatively, you could expand the square feet area of your home by buying a HM Indigo home at nearly the same price as your current home. Our resident, Shekar Devan recently made such an upgrade. Here’s what he has to say, “I used to live in a 1BHK in JP Nagar 2nd Phase and used to pay Rs.20,000 rent every month. I came across an advertisement by HM Indigo and was impressed by their unique home-buying scheme. Now, I own a spacious 2BHK apartment of my own – towards which I will pay the same Rs.20,000 as EMI after 10 months.” (More about the scheme at the end of the blog)
- Maximize closet space
Your closets are where maximum of all your things go. When you move into a new home, make sure you have ample closet space. The key is to have them up to the ceiling so that you can store the rarely used items in the higher racks. Within your closet, use organisers to use up all the space in the closet.
- Make use of unused spaces
There are more unused spaces than we think in our home. You can use the space under your staircase to build drawers, cupboards and so on and make use of the space. Also, you could use your balcony as an extended storage area too. Look around your home and get your creative juices flowing to maximize space in your home.
Like Mr. Shekar (who we mentioned above), if you are looking to move to a more spacious home, now is the time. HM is offering a unique scheme wherein you can book a home for only Rs.10,000. What’s more, you can forget about paying the EMI for the next 10 months thanks to the EMI Holiday facility! So, you save Rs.20,000 rent plus Rs.20,000 EMI every month i.e. a lumpsum Rs.40,000 that you can invest and reap profits from.
