6 Small House Storage Ideas <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Clever storage solutions are the answer to keeping a small house organized and making the most of the space you have. Whether you are downsizing to a smaller house or moving into your first home, sifting through your belongings and having a good declutter<\/a> is a smart idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Wall Space in Kitchen <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Small<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making\nthe most of wall space is an excellent way to create small house storage. Shelves\nare the obvious solution, but you can also get wall mounted storage cubes, hooks\nand hangers for items like ironing boards and vacuum cleaners. In the kitchen,\nensuring you have plenty of wall mounted cabinets helps maximize storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clever\nbaskets that hook onto shelves and hang underneath are an additional solution\nto double the storage space provided by a single shelf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screwing\nhooks into the bottom of shelves to hang cups and mugs from, is another way to achieve\nthe same thing. Adding a magnetic strip to your kitchen wall can be a simple\nand space-efficient way of storing knives, scissors, and metal utensils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Folding Bed <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fold away beds\nare a space saving solution often used in RVs and trailers, which you can also\nuse in a small house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nbed takes up a lot of floor space when permanently in position, but if it can\nbe folded away during the day, suddenly you have a lot of extra room. The most\npractical solutions are beds attached to a wall on a hinge, which can be lifted\nout of the way when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also possible to buy\nfreestanding beds that fold and can be pushed into a corner or stood next to a\nwall. Fold away beds work just as well for adults as they do kids. There are lots\nof clever folding bed solutions around that can be converted into sofas or\ndesks during the day. These are perfect when you\u2019re wondering how to make more space to live and work in a small\nhouse.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Floating Desks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keeping\nthe floor area as clear as possible creates the impression of space. Wall\nmounted shelves and desks, or desks with accompanying shelving units are a\ngreat way to achieve this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using\na desk as a multipurpose item is another space saving idea. In the mornings it\ncan be a vanity desk with a table-top mirror. Then, pack that away and use the\nspace to work at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe evenings, slide your work chair out of the way and recline on the sofa or\nbed in front of the desk and stream your favorite shows to your PC. You may find\nyou don\u2019t need to find space for a separate TV and can make any room\nmultipurpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dish Drying Cabinet <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you don\u2019t\nhave a lot of counter space in the kitchen, a dish drying cabinet is a great\nsolution. It has the double advantage of having a door on the front that allows\nyou to close away the mess while your dishes dry and maintain a sense of calm and order in your\nkitchen<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually,\na cabinet dish dryer will have room for a couple of rows of dishes, so you get\nmore space than you might with a conventional counter-top version. Keeping\nsurfaces clear and the clutter of drying dishes out of sight can give the\nillusion of more space, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Storage Benches and Baskets <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pieces of furniture that do more than one job are perfect for small houses \u2013 and storage benches are a great example of this. Instead of wasted space underneath seating areas, buying or making a bench with drawers, baskets or shelving underneath will help you stay organized<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee\nor dining tables with drawers can also be a prime location for more storage\nspace. Don\u2019t forget about the less obvious furniture that can include nooks to\nstore away items, like footstools or hallway shoe racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Corner Storage Racks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even\ntiny corners between windows or at the bottom of stairs can become an area for\nstorage with corner shelves or racks.  In\nthe kitchen, they can be a place to put herbs, pans, cookery books, glasses or\nanything else you need to accommodate. Specialist corner cabinets for kitchens\nwith carousel racks inside are also amazing for maximizing kitchen storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall mounted\ncorner shelving are an opportunity to use space above other furniture. In kids\u2019\nbedrooms and nurseries, you can use these to keep toys or essentials like\ndiapers and clothing tidy and out of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live in a small house, you\u2019ll have to\nbe strict about what you keep and what you get rid of. If you own furniture\nthat you really want to hold onto,\nbut don\u2019t need all the time, a storage unit<\/a> can act like\nthe garage or extra room you don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is making sure the items you\nwant to store will fit. Use our storage size guide<\/a> to\nunderstand the size of the unit you\u2019ll need. Once you know the size of the unit\nyou\u2019ll need, you can store items you\u2019re not ready to part with locally.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
