No matter what sort of home you live in, mastering the tactics to maximize the space you have is key to enjoying a home. Once you have mastered the art of organizing small spaces, it doesn’t matter how much space you have, you’re going to feel like you live in a palace!
1. Multi-Functional Furniture
Ensure to make the most out of your furniture by finding pieces that are dual or multi-function, specifically, pieces that include storage space. Different sort of ottomans are there and benches that flip open, and many beds these days come with drawers and other useful storage spaces built in.
2. Tall and Skinny for the Win
When organizing small spaces it’s important to evaluate the footprint of each piece of furniture in a room. Ensuring that you think tall and skinny, vs. short and wide, would surely free up a room and ultimately maximize your space because the space you have to work with is limited.
3. Use Existing Storage Space Efficiently!
Scanning your existing storage spaces closets, drawers, storage units, desks and dressers and really evaluate if you’re using these spaces to the best of their ability. If you find that you’re not getting the most out of these spaces, recreate them to fit your home organisation needs. In case it means going out and getting an organizational tool or product to assist with that goal, that’s totally fine. Your job is to figure out how to make the most of the space that you already have.
4. Less Is More
Reducing the stock of products and tools can also save a lot of space. Go for cleaning products, you don’t need a whole bunch of items for specific jobs, instead store pantry items like vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap and then make your own cleaning products as you need them. This concept works with products and tools in the kitchen, bathroom and self-care. Many products can do double duty, ultimately making you a champ at home organisation and saving lots of spaces.
5. Go Right to the Ceiling!
Live and learn consulting has said it before and they are repeating it here as well, if you have a bookcase, closet shelving, or cupboards, make sure that you’re popping a basket or a storage solution on top to fill that space between the top of the unit and the ceiling. Obviously, you would not want to be accessing it all the time, so, use it primarily for deep storage. For an instance, put off-season wear in a basket and then bring it down to a more prominent location when the weather changes. It can be replaced with the opposite seasons’ items—after you’ve washed them!
