5 Out-Standing Hacks That Will Be Helpful To Maximize Space In Your Home

Tiny house living has been picking up pace over the last decade and it isn’t surprising why.  Tiny houses are a great way to live in an increasingly hostile housing market. With rents increasing and real estate prices soaring, tiny house living is clearly the way to go! But for people used to living in regular-sized houses, the shift can be a challenge. Here we have some hacks that will help you maximize the space in your tiny house.

1. Mega Art

But this is actually the opposite of what you should do. Small art clustered together can look quite cluttered. Additionally, small art might get lost in an already small space where everything is competing for attention. Instead of adding multiple small art pieces in your tiny house, invest in a few oversized pieces. Mega sized art can act as a feature wall for the house—not only will it draw the eye, but it will give the illusion of the space being larger than it is.  

2. Creating Zones

3. Expand Your Space with Mirrors

This interior design tip for small spaces can work almost anywhere in your home, regardless of the size of the mirror. Play with reflective surfaces in your living room, entryway, bedroom, or kitchen decor to add depth to your living space.

4. Creative Storage

Floor-to-ceiling storage is a necessity, but you can also look at other areas to add more storage. For example, the area under your stairs can be turned into small cupboards or drawers.  Create storage under your bed, chairs, and couch, as well as within your window seats. If there is an area that isn’t being used for storage, think about how you can change that. The biggest challenge in tiny house-living isn’t so much the small space, but the lack of storage. Being creative with where you create storage will make tiny house living that much more joyful.

5. Go with an Exposed Closet

If you have a room with a closet, try removing the doors to free up square footage and give your room more of flow. Don’t have built-in closets? Hang shelving and bins to build an open closet right on your wall.
