5 Hacks to Maximise Your Small Space

Living in a small space can be challenging, but with the right tricks and tips, you can transform your living area into a functional and organised oasis. Here are some additional hacks to help you make the most of your limited space:

1. Utilise height

Maximising the use of vertical space is a great way to make the most out of tight spaces. By installing configurable shelving units, bookcases, and tall chests you can save valuable floor space. Take advantage of small nooks like those above doors and in alcoves to get even more out of your storage.

2. Wall décor with storage

Hanging shelves is a great way to maximise storage and organization at home. Whether it's books, decorative pieces, or even kitchen necessities you need to store, shelves are an excellent solution. However, remember to securely mount them on the wall for strength and stability – this will also help keep your living space from feeling cramped and dark.

3. Get creative with seating:

Choose seating that serves a dual purpose. A storage bench or one with a removable lid can conceal items underneath tables and be easily taken out when necessary. Additionally, these pieces not only look great, but are also perfect for a hallway to act as seating and store items like shoes.

4. Don’t sacrifice work space.

Folding Desks are the perfect solution if you're trying to maximise your space. They're great for any room - be it the bedroom, the hall, or even somewhere unexpected. Plus, they're budget-friendly and highly functional; you can either construct one yourself or buy one from a variety of stores. No matter what route you take, these tables will help you make the most out of a minimal area!

5. Use multi-functional furniture

Furnish your home with multi-functional furniture; for example, a bed with storage containers to put away extra linens or out-of-season clothing. Alternatively, opt for coffee tables with a built-in compartment.
