<h3 style="text-align: center;">#1. Swap the ready-made TV console with a custom made version</h3>

<p style="text-align: center;">Traditionally designed sofa takes up precious estate space since it performs only 1 function. Therefore flexible furniture is a necessity for space-challenged homes since a multifunctional sofa that maximises the living room's limited storage space will offer extra bang for your buck. A well designed multifunctional sofa should have hidden storage drawers, with its armrest that can double up as shelves. It may even transform into a guest sofa bed when needed. A storage ottoman is also useful to keep newspapers or magazines out of sight.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Although most newer, smaller condos units do not come with any storeroom, you can easily construct one and have it strategically concealed with the rest of its surroundings.</p>

<p class="title page-title" style="text-align: center;">Swap the balcony table with a stylish hanging balcony bar top. In this way, you can free up precious storage space on the balcony. Instead of leaving the potted plants on the balcony floor, reclaim precious space by hanging them on the corner storage rack. This makes it easier for you too, when you are cleaning the balcony floor.</p>

<p class="title page-title" style="text-align: center;">When it comes to compact spaces, vertical storage is one of the best solutions for maximising storage utilisation. Using a large open shelving unit, with alternate box storage units installed, will make the balcony look industrial and contemporary at the same time. Bonus tip; use a bicycle tower to vertically stack your bicycles!</p>

If you are blessed with a high ceiling, you might be able to accommodate a petite-sized wardrobe right under the bed!</p>
