Being able to own a house in this era is something to be grateful, even if it’s a small one. Living in a small house has its benefits; you don’t need to waste too much energy in doing a weekly clean up. However, it does not necessarily mean that you can’t keep many items. With a few storage and organization tips, you can make your small house feel spacious.
Use Double Purpose Furniture
Instead of buying and using furniture with a single purpose, it is better to use double purpose furniture because it can save a lot of space and avoid cluttering. Having a desk with built-in storage is better than just a plain desk. You can store items that belong to a room in it. It will make every room in your house easy to manage.
Create and Maximize Spaces
Look around your house. If you find any available spaces, be sure to utilize them. Try using a wall rack. If not possible, you can always go under. You can also create spaces under your bed to store bedroom items.
Apart from creating spaces, you need to maximize the storage and organization that you already have. Take a look at your cupboard, closet, and cabinets. Make sure to rearrange the items inside and declutter them.
Be Selective
The most efficient way of making an effective storage and organization is by being selective of what you have and what you will have. Get rid of unusable items, donate the ones that you don’t need, and think about where to put new items before you buy one. Think of it as an inventory. If it is necessary to have, you have to throw away items that you are already carrying to make new space.
Once you get the hang of how your small house’s storage and organization works, it will become spacious, tidy, and comfortable to live in. It may need some time and thinking process, but it is worth the effort.
