And here's how you need to do it... </div> <div id="mf92" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div id="mf93" style="text-align: justify;"> <strong id="mf94">1) Avoid <a href="http://livinghomefurniture.blogspot.com/">cumbersome </a>furniture:</strong> We get it, your old living room set is a precious heirloom that you do not want to get rid off. So you will plonk it in the middle of your tiny living room and let it hog all that prime real estate. When space comes at a premium, you need to know how to utilise it well. Step one in this process is getting rid of cumbersome furniture and switching to more modular, space efficient furniture. Say goodbye to heavy cabinets, store your <a href="http://idiva.com/topic/books" id="mfa32" target="_blank">books</a> on weighted bookshelves you can mount on walls. Switch over to an LED/LCD television set that you can mount on brackets in the wall.

The couple's bedroom, needs to be distinctive and different from other rooms, and furniture could play an essential role on this process. For instance your old 4 poster bed needs to give way to a sleeker, new space saving avatar. Storage needs to be in the form of modular cabinets and multilevel storage is always more preferable as stacking stuff really helps save space.</div> <div id="mf98"> <br /></div> <div id="mf99" style="text-align: justify;"> <strong id="mf100">3) <a href="http://livinghomefurniture.blogspot.com/">Kitchen </a>storage:</strong> Most modern kitchens are tiny and therefore this is one of the rooms where space really needs to be optimised efficiently.

For your cutlery and crockery, ensure that you have easy to reach modular storage systems which add a bit of pop to the kitchen and also make the best utility of the space possible.</div> <div id="mf101"> <br /></div> <div id="mf102"> </div> <div class="autopin-wrapper" id="desc_img_4" style="text-align: center;"> <span class="spanhov" id="mf104"></span><img alt="urban_home_1.jpg" id="ed-img" src="http://images.idiva.com/media/content/2014/Sep/urban_home_1.jpg" title="urban_home_1.jpg" /></div> <div id="mf106"> <br /></div> <div id="mf107" style="text-align: justify;"> <strong id="mf108">4) Ideas for the kids bedrooms:</strong> Designing a kid's room could be a challenge seeing as to how the room needs to grow and evolve with them,their changing interests and more importantly their ever increasing need for space.
