The concept of a townhome is innovative. Just like major cities are dotted with skyscrapers to practice the efficient technique of “building up instead of out,” townhomes follow the same principle. They are efficiently built to create maximum living space on a small piece of property. While townhomes may seem like they have less space than single-family homes, incorporating a few remodeling ideas for your townhome provides a spacious feeling. Arlington is a bustling city right next to our nation’s capital, so property is limited. Because there are so many townhomes, incorporating these innovative home remodeling ideas will help maximum the space of your townhome.
Vertical Storage
Building vertical storage areas is a great way to maximize the use of space in your townhome. Let’s face it, most of us have plenty of possessions that need to be stored somewhere in our home. When you are dealing with smaller square footage, installing vertical storage provides areas to store things that otherwise would take up more room. Using every inch of possible space is a great way to maximize storage space. Here are a few ideas for vertical storage:
- Tall and skinny kitchen cabinets that extend to the ceiling
- Floating shelves throughout the residency that eliminate the need for multiple pieces of furniture
- Built-in nooks in the kitchen island, bathroom vanity sinks, etc.
Getting creative with vertical storage will help organize and declutter your townhome and allow for more efficient use of your living space. With MOSS Building & Design, you can rest assured that our dedicated team of experts will create a plan that will best maximize your functional living space.
Floating Furniture
Floating shelves and other innovative storage options are a great way to maximize functional living space, but floating furniture takes organization to another whole level. The bulkiest items in a home are usually furniture pieces, and while you can’t really create a floating sofa, you can incorporate floating tables, television stands, and other smaller pieces of furniture. Having these items off the ground helps to create a larger living area. MOSS can help you purposefully pick where floating furniture should go throughout your townhome, and then install whatever options your heart desires!
Bold Colors
Bold colors are another great way to make your townhome feel more spacious. Neutral colors like whites and grays can be elegant and classy, but bold colors like blues and greens can make your townhome stand out and feel more adventurous. Darker, bolder colors create a perception of larger depth, meaning your townhome will look more spacious. Not to mention, bold colors stand out and eliminate the cookie-cutter feeling that many townhomes can have, especially those built within a subdivision. Don’t be afraid to get a little bold with the paint colors and the decor in your townhome!
