Looking for Bachelor Apartments in Ottawa? Here are 6 Easy Ways to Live Big in a Small Space.
So... you’re looking for the perfect apartment, but like most of us in today’s economy your funds are tight! You’d like a large apartment but can’t justify the cost... What are you going to do?
Ottawa bachelor apartments might be on the smaller end of the scale but if you choose the right one they offer a budget conscious option while still feeling spacious and inviting!
Size Matters
When looking at bachelor apartments in Ottawa always be conscious of size, the average bachelor apartment is approximately 400 square feet, anything significantly smaller than that will be harder to work with. That being said the price will also probably be significantly lower than average for suites that are much smaller than the standard bachelor apartment.
Layout can make it or break it
When you’re limited with size, layout is of the utmost importance. Remember that a square shaped apartment is always better than a narrow rectangular shaped unit. The choppier the layout the less functional the space. In your search you will probably notice that a 400 square foot, square sized bachelor apartment will generally speaking give you more usuable space than a choppier 500 square foot suite.
Move the Inside out
When searching for bachelor apartments Ottawa try to find a suite with a walk out patio. This will significantly increase your living space during the warmer months of the year. Balconies are also great features for increasing your living space if you can’t find a unit with a walk out patio.Ask about Lockers
Ottawa bachelor apartments usually come with a storage unit somewhere in the building, they are either included in the rental rate of the apartment or they can be rented out for a small monthly fee. These rental spaces are great for storing seasonal items and things that you don’t use on a regular basis that would normally clutter up your small space.
Think Space Saving furniture
Once you’ve scoured all bachelor apartments Ottawa and you’ve found the right one it’s time to think flexible furniture! Great examples are futons and Murphy beds, the first is a couch/bed combination and the latter is a bed that hides up against the wall when not in use.
Other flexible furniture could include a small table normally used as a desk that can expand into a larger table for dinners. Foldable chairs that can be tucked away when not in use are also great for small spaces... be creative! Also if you’re a Technology buff there is no better time to justify a space saving flat screen LCD TV to really maximize floor space.
Built in Storage is a bonus
If you are buying furniture for your new bachelor apartment try to look for pieces that offer extra storage, maybe it’s a bed with drawers for clothes or a Coffee table that has compartments for DVD’s and magazines, whatever it is, the more storage you’ve got when living in a small space the better.
Bachelor apartments in Ottawa are a great alternative to more traditional suites. With the right layout, storage options and flexible furniture these spaces can still feel spacious and comfortable while giving your bank account a little bit of a break.
