You know that feeling when you’re trying to use your kitchen counter for something other than dishes? When the sink is full of dirty pots and pans, but there’s nowhere else to put them? When you have an overflowing shoe rack in your entryway? If this sounds like you, then read on. This blog post will give you some foolproof ways to save space at home – even if it seems impossible!
Use your cabinet space effectively
Do you have too much stuff for your cabinet? This sounds like a paradox since cabinets are built to hold things. However, when people don’t use them efficiently, they end up with way more than they need. You may find that the best place for some of your stuff is in an outdoor storage box.
For example: If you have a lot of kitchen appliances, consider getting rid of some. If you never use your bread maker or rice cooker because it’s just too much hassle, then just give it away! You don’t need to keep gadgets that simply take up space.
Get space-saving furniture
There are some pieces of furniture that exist purely to save space. You can save space with a sofa bed or a foldable table. Or, you can add more functional space with a dressing table that also has storage compartments. Many pieces of furniture, such as cabinets and tables, come in different sizes. If you’re choosing between two sizes, it’s best to get the smallest size possible for your living space.
Built-in shelves and cabinets
You can save space in your living room with built-in cabinets and shelves. If you’re thinking about getting new furniture, why not get built-in-furniture instead? This way, you only have what you need, and there is less clutter in your home. There is a lot of storage space behind the couch – do you really need a side table taking up space there? If you also have a kitchen, then built-in storage can save you even more space.
With that said, built-in cabinets and shelves do take up wall space that could be useful for other things – such as art or decoration. So before building them in, consider whether it’s worth the space.
Wall-mounted storage
Wall-mounted storage shelves are great for saving space, but they can also be ugly if not properly decorated. If you put up these shelves in the wrong place, then your home will look unkempt and messy. What is more important – decor or functionality? That’s an easy question – both! So before putting up wall-mounted shelves, be sure to choose a place where they won’t stand out too much.
Clothes organizer
Do you have too many clothes? Organize them in a closet organizer. This will not only free up space in your wardrobe but also make your clothes more accessible. After all, nobody wants to spend valuable time searching through their closet for the perfect outfit! If there is no room for an organizer (or if you don’t want one because you don’t have enough clothes), then consider getting storage drawers inside your closet. With this, you can give each drawer a purpose – one for tops, one for bottoms, etc. This way, everything has its place, and you don’t need to search for things in the morning when you’re in a rush!
