Have you wanted to live in Manhattan for years and finally found the perfect apartment or condo unit? Maybe it has the perfect view or is in a building with just the right amenities. Whatever the reason, you’re willing to deal with a small space or outdated fixtures to land this place and call it home. Many home seekers in New York City believe that accepting a small living space is just part of the deal to live in the city. While you may not be able to find spacious places within your budget, you can improve the look and feel of your new home with the right interior renovations. Manhattan living is like no other, and you shouldn’t settle for accepting your new home as-is just to live in the city.
Remove Walls and Cabinets to Create More Space
One way to open up your apartment and increase the living area is to remove unnecessary walls and cabinets. If the home hasn’t been updated in a couple of decades, a contractor from New York Renovations can evaluate your home and recommend the best renovations. If the contractor finds that you can’t remove any of the walls, he can still make suggestions to help you create a more modern, open feel within your home.
Separate Your Kitchen and Living Room
Many New York apartments or condos have a living area and kitchen combined in one space. Only a countertop separates some areas, not really distinguishing where the kitchen stops and the living room begins. This may seem like the reasonable thing to do, especially in a smaller space, but it can actually make a home feel smaller.
If one of your goals is to make your apartment or condo look like it has more rooms, a contractor can erect a small wall, or redesign the kitchen to create a separation between the kitchen and living areas. Professional interior renovations in Manhattan are common among condo and apartment dwellers because these spaces can often be improved with the right renovations. New York Renovations specializes in helping Manhattanites redesign their homes and maximize the space they have to suit their living needs.
