Studio Apartment

    The Benefits of Having a Two Bedroom Apartment

    By clintwood / 15th June, 2017 / Small Apartments, Studio Apartment / Off

    The two bedroom apartment is the perfect happy medium between a small studio or one bedroom and a large home or condo. It has just enough space to give you extra room for storage and allow you to entertain guests, while still giving you the compactness and affordable price tag of a mid-sized apartment. Whether you are planning on living alone, with a roommate, or with a significant other, a correctly-sized two bedroom apartment can easily accommodate your needs. In this guide, our property professionals here at Clintwood Realty have compiled a list of the many benefits of two bedroom apartments — even for those who live alone. Read on for more information, and contact our Rochester, NY realty team at (585) 244-0610 to learn about our available two bedroom apartment listings today!

    Extra Storage Space

    It’s no secret that two rooms have more space than one. With a two bedroom apartment, you get a living room, a bed room for yourself, and an extra room to use for whatever you see fit. Many two bedroom apartment renters have roommates to share the rent and occupy the second room, but many others use that room for something else. If you have hobby, a second room can be a perfect place to set up shop. It’s also an excellent place to store all of those prized possessions you were unable to get rid of when you moved.

    Guest Space

    Expecting guests? If you live in a studio, you better be alright with sharing a room. If you live in a one bedroom, one of you better be alright with sleeping in the common area. If you live in a two bedroom (and you don’t have a roommate), you have the perfect guest room ready to go. This is ideal for visiting friends and family — and even better when those visitors over stay their welcome. Give them a room to themselves, and everyone will be happy.

    Space for Yourself

    Having space to be alone and enjoy yourself is important — even when you already live by yourself. Many apartment dwellers will eventually grow tired of using the same room for everything — and slowly but surely their studio or one bedroom space will start to feel too confined. With two bedroom apartments, you can divide and conquer. Make one room your office, another your relaxation space, and pick one to be your bedroom. Decorate each differently to help change things up. This will go a long way in transforming your apartment into a space you’ll really enjoy occupying.
    If you do happen to have roommates, a two bedroom apartment will give you just enough space to be alone if you want to be. In a two bedroom setup, each person has their own room, and there is also a communal living space to share. In the event that you want some solitude, it’s nice to have the extra options.

    The Best Furniture for a Small and Compact Apartment

    By clintwood / 15th May, 2017 / Small Apartments, Studio Apartment / Off

    Living in a small apartment has its benefits and its drawbacks. On the one hand, a small apartment like a studio is can be relaxing for those who want to lead a downsized lifestyle and spend less on monthly rent. On the other hand, small and compact apartments can be difficult outfit and organize without compromising too much space. If you are currently looking for ideas on how to decorate and design your studio or one-bedroom, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, our property experts here at Clintwood Realty have compiled several furniture suggestions to help you get the most out of your small space. Read to for some of our best furniture tips, and contact our Rochester, NY team at (585) 244-0610 today!

    Vertical Storage

    When thinking about furniture, other belongings, and general space concerns for your apartment, storage is always a good place to start. In small apartments such as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, proper storage is essential maximizing livable space. To keep the square footage on your floor as open as possible, we recommend utilizing the vertical space in your apartment to its fullest when planning your storage. If you’re going to invest in shelving or bookcases (which, in most cases, you’ll need to), make sure that your shelves reach as close to the ceiling as possible while still being reachable for those in your apartments. The same goes for dressers, drawers, and cabinetry in other areas in your apartment. By getting as much out of your vertical storage as possible through tall furniture items, you will be opening up your floor space in your apartment for other uses.

    Foldable, Collapsible, and Storable Furniture

    With space at a premium in most apartments, finding furniture that’s as compact as possible in generally a good idea. Of course, you don’t want your furniture so compact that it’s no longer comfortable. To optimize both space usage and comfort, many of today’s furniture makers offer foldable and collapsible furniture items to allow for spacious comfort when you need it, and compact storage when you don’t.
    If you are looking for a dining or seating set, try to find one that is stackable and designed compact storing. That way, you’ll be able to open up your kitchen and dining space whenever needed. Foldable tables, collapsible chairs and any other well-made items that have the ability to become smaller when needed are excellent investments for homes and apartments that are short on space.

    Multi-Purpose Furniture

    Related to foldable and collapsible furniture items are multi-purpose furniture pieces that can be used for several functions. These items are perfect for small spaces since they consolidate the roles of 2 or 3 furniture items into one fully-functional piece.
    If you’re in the market for a coffee table, consider one that opens up for extra storage underneath the hood. Better yet, try to find on that vertically expands into a desk, thus eliminating the need for an extra furniture item. Other multi-purpose furniture items include bed frames with built-in shelf storage, wall-mounted desks with slide-out trays for storage and functional usage when needed, vanity-dresser combos, and more. By adding as many multi-purpose furniture pieces to your home or apartment as possible, you’ll eliminate the need for extra furniture and open up your living space.

    Get Creative

    We’ve already covered vertical storage, collapsible solutions, and multi-purpose furniture. Our last suggestion isn’t so much a type of furniture as it is a general piece of advice for small-apartment dwellers. When it comes to your furniture, get creative. Learn to build your own vertical storage or collapsible furniture solutions. Don’t be afraid to let your dinner table double as a desk. Many space-related problems can be solved through creative rearranging or thrift-store purchases. Just be sure to make choices that will complement your space. You’re the one living there, after all.

    How to Organize in a Small Space

    By clintwood / 15th April, 2017 / Small Apartments, Studio Apartment / Off

    Whether you’re moving into a smaller living quarters or dealing with clutter in your current home or apartment, staying organized can help you get the most out of your space. For those in apartments or small homes, space organization can be considerably trickier simply because there is less space to work with. To help you organize your small space, our property professionals here at Clintwood Realty have put together a list of small space organization tips ideal for both homes and apartments. Read on to learn more, and contact our Rochester, NY Realty team at (585) 244-0610 today!

    Utilize Vertical Space

    When improperly organized, a space that is already small, to begin with, will feel cluttered and cramped. That’s because those living inside it will feel like they have no room to move or stretch out. One way to fix this is to utilize the spaces that people don’t usually occupy to their fullest. Vertical spaces are an excellent place to start. Invest in tall shelves, bookcases, dressers, and cabinets. These furniture items will not only give extra storage space up towards the ceiling (where no one hangs out anyway) — they’ll also open up space on the floor (where everyone hangs out and walks around). Get creative with your vertical space usage by looking for spaces you wouldn’t usually think of store items and decorate. For instance, wall space above doors and windows can be utilized for small shelving units and other items. By choosing to go vertical with your stuff, you’ll open up more room in your space for the things that really matter — like dancing.

    Capitalize on Closets

    Your closet is the one room in your home or apartment that is specifically designed for storage. If you have a closet in your studio or other small space, use it as much as possible. Filling your closet with as many items as you can will make your living space that much larger due to lack of clutter. However, when filling your closets, it’s important to keep organization in mind. A closet that’s packed to the brim with random, unorganized items is highly unpleasant to sort through when one of those items is needed. To get the most out of your closets, try adding a dresser or chest of drawers beneath your hanging clothes. Invest in additional smaller storage devices where needed to keep track of those items you put away for safe keeping. That way, you’ll be able to look through your closet with minimal effort when you need to.

    Swear by Sorting

    Organization isn’t just for closets. Proper organization and sorting in your entire home or apartment will have major benefits on your overall space. Even if no space is saved (which is rarely the case), and organized home or apartment will feel larger than one that is disordered and cluttered. When everything is visually appealing to the eye, and when you know where everything is, your space will be more pleasant to occupy. Sort your items by function, color, or any other category of your choosing — just so long as you know where everything is, we guarantee your sorted space will be a happier one.

    Don’t be Afraid to Downsize

    At the end of the day, many organization attempts fail because homeowners or renters simply have too much stuff. If you find yourself with crammed closets, filled shelves, crammed rooms, and still not even enough space to think straight — it’s probably time to de-clutter and downsize. For some, downsizing is a relatively easy task. For others, it can be quite difficult. That’s because we often want to hang on to the things in our possessions, either for sentimental purposes or because we think we may eventually need them. To help you weed out the items you truly do not need, we recommend bringing a friend along to reinforce any tough downsizing choices. A friend won’t share your same attachment to your possessions, and can thus help you make a more rational decision.
    When you have finally settled on which goods to get rid of, you have several options to get them off your hands. Since everybody loves a little extra cash in their pockets, selling your goods through a yard sale, eBay, or Craigslist will help ease any hang-ups you might have had about parting with your possessions in the first place. A simpler route would be to donate your goods. Many local charities take drop-offs at their stores — others even offer pick-ups right at your door. When all else fails, you can also pay a visit to your local dump to get rid of your unwanted items once and for all.

    Looking for Studio Living? Here Are Some Pros and Cons

    By clintwood / 15th March, 2017 / Small Apartments, Studio Apartment / Off

    A studio apartment can be a great place to live for those who don’t need much space and are looking to save money on living expenses. For those who need extra room — a studio might not be the best choice. If you’re looking into a studio for yourself and/or a close friend or spouse, it’s important to know just what you’re getting into. To help you out, our realty team here at Clintwood Realty has put together this short guide on some of the pros and cons of studio apartment living. Read on to learn more and contact our Rochester, NY Realty team at (585) 244-0610 today!

    What Is A Studio Apartment?

    As far as apartments go, studios are the most basic options out there. They’re also typically the smallest. That being said, most studios will give you everything you need to live a comfortable (albeit downsized) life. A studio apartment is typically compromised of a living space that doubles as a bedroom, with the kitchen and dining areas attached as part of that same room. In a studio, the only extra room will typically be a small bathroom adjacent to the larger main room. Studios are ideal for single tenants, close friends, or couples who do not mind sharing the same space.

    The Pros of Studio Apartments

    Perhaps the most obvious benefit of a studio apartment is its price. Less space typically means less rent, which makes studios frontrunners in affordability as far as apartment living goes. A studio apartment can typically run for two-thirds to half the cost of a one-bedroom in the same apartment complex. And that’s just the rent. Studios also require less energy and less upfront furniture costs to fully outfit. For instance, a single strategically-placed floor lamp can provide light for your entire space in a studio. You also won’t need to worry about decorating that extra living room or guest room — because you won’t have one. If you are trying to live on a budget, there is no better choice than a studio.
    Studio apartments are also quite easy to maintain. This also due in large part to their size, which facilitates fast and easy cleanups and necessitates the need for less stuff. Less clutter and less mess have been scientifically shown to increase mood and productivity, which can lead to a number of other health-related benefits. With studios, cleaning comes easy and downsizing becomes necessary.

    The Cons

    For many, the necessity of downsizing that comes with a studio apartment is simply too large of a sacrifice. Having to say goodbye to possessions and certain amenities is a major drawback for some people. And for those who want to hang on to their extra possessions, living in a studio will likely necessitate the purchase of a storage unit, which will add to monthly costs. Simply put, if you love “stuff,” a studio may not be the right choice for you.
    Just as the lack of stuff in a studio apartment can be considered a drawback, so can the lack of space. For those that like to stretch and move from room to room, a studio can start to feel a lot like a jail cell. This problem can often get amplified if you are sharing your studio with someone else. While fun and comforting at times, a roommate in close quarters will undoubtedly have you wishing for your own space at certain times. In a studio, you may start to feel like there’s no escape.
    The problem of less space only gets amplified if you are trying to entertain. While quaint, a party held in a studio apartment is also a recipe for disaster. When your bedroom is also your living room, dining room, and lounge you and your guests may feel like the party is just a little too cozy for comfort. And if you want pets, be prepared to expend extra effort combating smell and noise. A pet in a confined space will make its presence much more known than one in a more spacious environment. Larger animals such as cats and dogs will also become unhappy in a space as small as a studio if they are not given the ability roam elsewhere.
