Are you thinking about moving from a spacious house to a tiny NYC apartment? Whether you are making this change because of job proximity or you just want a taste of city life, moving to a small apartment is no small feat. Here are some tips that will come in handy if you are moving from a house to a tiny apartment in NYC:

Purge

If you want to live happily in a tiny apartment, you need to get rid of a lot of stuff. If you currently live in a big house, chances are that all your stuff will not fit in a tiny apartment. Bigger residences such as luxury apartments in Norwalk have more space than their tiny NYV counterparts do.

You can find bigger apartments such as luxury apartments for rent on Upper East Side but they might be out of your price range. To purge your current possessions, you need to go through your clothes, books, and furniture to see what you can eliminate.

Donate

Of course, you should not throw away everything that you want to eliminate. A stylish dress or sweater does not belong in the bin. If some things are in good condition but you no longer use them, you should consider donating them to Goodwill. However, if you want to make money to pay for the moving costs, you can have a yard sale.

Enlist Help from Friends

If you are moving from a big house and have a lot of junk, you will need all the help that you can get. You should ask your friends to come and help you to sort out your stuff. You can entice them with sodas and pizzas if all they want is some fuel.

Double Purpose Things

If you have a travel suitcase that you only use while traveling, you can start using it as a second closet. You can store all the seasonal clothes that you are not currently wearing. The best thing about this DIY closet is that it is small enough to fit under the bed.

The downside is that you will have to keep unpacking and repacking your seasonal clothes. However, this would be a small price to pay.

Buy Smart Furniture

You should opt for smart furniture that serves several purposes. For instance, you can invest in a MALM dresser that also doubles up as an entertainment center. This dresser is wider than it is tall, which makes it the ideal height for placing a TV.

When you make such smart furniture decisions, you will eliminate the need for numerous pieces of furniture. This allows you to save space in a tiny apartment where every square inch counts.

Organize Everything

In a tiny apartment, you do not have the luxury of space. This means that you cannot afford to put things where they do not belong, as this would result in clutter. In a small apartment, clutter is quite noticeable and it makes the space seem even smaller.

If you have a habit of throwing things around, you need to start placing things where they belong. Doing so will keep your surfaces clutter free and make your tiny space look much more spacious.

Build Shelves

If you are not handy, you should buy ready-to-install shelves. A shelf will help you to reduce clutter by creating vertical storage space. Building a shelf is a great way to show off your design muscles.

Conclusion

Moving from a house to a tiny apartment involves plenty of sacrifice. You need to build shelves, donate, purge, enlist friends’ help, organize, double purpose things, and buy smart furniture.
