Get ready to have a lot more space for You
Bigger is always better. All of us want a big house where we can settle down, have enough space for our family members, all of our essential things and even all the excess stuff that everyone carries around.
But we cannot always get what we want. Well, not immediately anyway. So this hack is for all of our readers who always seem to feel like they have no space at home. Too little space and too much stuff - here is the answer!
This first hack is just a taste of all the amazing space saving hacks to come. Execute even a few of these and soon you won't be calling your home cramped, and will prefer the term "cozy."
#10 Use that wall space for more than just pictures. Fill it up with shelves!
Shelves: You can never have enough of them. Some people like to put up just pictures on the walls to give off a good look and yet the excess space on the walls is completely ignored.
Avoid wasting space and keeping all of your books in one easily accessible place.And yes, even with shelves installed there will be plenty of space left for pictures. Go to the next page for more and better space saving ideas.
#9 That empty space under your kitchen cabinets? Yeah, it doesn't have to be empty.
Yes it does not. The empty space under the kitchen cabinets is the perfect place for dust and dirt to settle. Not to mention all of the little insects that seem to find that space juts the right size.
So here's what you do to get rid of the bug problem and make good use of the space. Build drawers under your kitchen cabinet. It just keeps getting better.
#8 Under-the-stairs storage isn't new, but this way is!
Storing things in the space under the stairs is not new. People even make cupboards and drawers under the stairs to help utilise this space. But this way is completely different.
Make levels inside the cupboard and watch how the constantly increasing and decreasing of space under the stairs becomes manageable. Use the space completely. Go to the next page for more.
#7 Or how about IN the stairs? Seriously. So much dead space. Drawers seem like a given.
This one is so good I'll probably try it myself! Staircases themselves have so much dead space. While we are all trying to figure out places under or above them to store our stuff this hack raises the level.
Drawers inside the stairs. Any carpenter worth his salt should know and recommend this to all his customers. It is the ultimate hack, one you just can't do without.
#6 Put a trundle bed under a mirror for a built-in guest room.
You know the space under the mirror. Yes, the one with all the cosmetics that you don't need nearly as much as you think you do. We have a better use for that space.
Put in a bed there and you have an instant guest bedroom. Just imagine what you could do with all the space you saved not having to put up an entire bed in the room. And yes we do have a better place for you to save all those cosmetics you moved. Just click next and find out.
#5 Add a shelf above the sink for all those random, little bathroom supplies.
No more need for big cabinets taking up space. Build a shelf to satisfy the same function need, the shelf merely helps store more things. The cosmetics from the last hack can all be saved here.
Keeping everything right above the sink makes all the necessary items easily accessible. Save time and space with this hack. Click next for a hack that also helps you save money.
#4 Cut a hole in the wall. Why? This amazing, tiny, hidden closet; that's why. You think that's an amazing find? Wait'll you see number 3
Cutting a hole in the wall gives you space which was not previously accessible. You get a bigger house for absolutely no extra charge. A sliding door can make the wall seem like an ordinary wall.
Sliding doors are popular in Japan. Make your house more Japanese-y and exotic. You can also use it as a secret closet which nobody else knows about. We promise not to tell.
#3 Every floor should be like this. Best hide-and-seek games ever in this raised room.
A raised room can be quite inconvenient at times. More often than not we blame faulty makers for a room of such type. The Builders must have been slacking, or the carpenter must have taken incorrect measurements. But what about a room that is raised on purpose?
Such a room can open up a door to infinite possibilities. You can literally open a door on your floor. As shown in the picture the possibilities do not stop there. Everything is possible, your imagination is the only limit.
#2 Add a skinny table behind your couch if you don't have enough room for a table
Tables take up a lot of space. Just sitting there doing nothing in the middle of the room. You have to fight the urge to pile things up on the table. Since you know that you will just have to clear it all up again before dinner
We say no more. Buy a skinny table and a few chairs. Put them up in that unused space behind the sofa and wonder just what you could do with all of that extra space you have. And so we reach the last page. But do not worry, we saved the best for the last.
#1 More shelves. Shelves everywhere. Shelves above the door. When in doubt: shelves.
For those of you out there saying I knew it, you were completely right. Shelves are the most versatile and useful tool to have in your homemaking arsenal. But that does not mean that you should be confined by the limitations shelves provide.
Let your imagination run wild; come up with a new type of shelf. Discover new shelves made by other imaginative homemakers. The internet is a resource of endless information. Use it, and make your life better today. The journey has just begun.
