With our top tips and a touch of creativity, you\u2019ll soon be able to find the perfect place for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be low on space, but you may not be ready to part with treasured furniture, ornaments, artwork, clothing, or decorative items.

Discover how to get the most of your space with our tiny house storage ideas to help you get your home organized.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Under Stair Storage<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the stairs is a real lifesaver when it comes to\nclearing away clutter. Whether you have a cupboard already built in, or need to\nmake something, this is an area of your home you can really make the most of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clear out any junk that\u2019s taking up space under the stair and tuck away bulky items you need to access regularly, but don\u2019t want to be on show all the time. Items like the vacuum, ironing board, bedding, cleaning equipment and laundry baskets can live here out of sight. Alternatively, you can install shelving to store books and craft supplies.&nbsp; <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Floating Shelves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple and practical, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/smart-home-hacks\/wall-space-storage-and-decor\/\">floating shelves<\/a> are a great way to save space in a tiny home. You can install as many shelves as you like. Use them to store anything from utensils, appliances, and tableware in the kitchen, to books and ornaments in the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you choose to use your floating shelves for,\nthey offer extra space without dominating your walls. Make your shelves look\neven more chic and stylish by painting them first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-locations\/\" aria-label=\"Find more CubeSmart Storage Locations Near You!\">Find Storage Near You!<\/a><\/strong><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tiny-House-Storage-Ideas-Staircase-with-Drawers-Built-In.jpg\" alt=\"Staircase with built in drawers\" class=\"wp-image-17718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tiny-House-Storage-Ideas-Staircase-with-Drawers-Built-In.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tiny-House-Storage-Ideas-Staircase-with-Drawers-Built-In-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tiny-House-Storage-Ideas-Staircase-with-Drawers-Built-In-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Fill Walls with Cabinets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabinets give you the option to display or hide what\u2019s\nin them and make a great way to avoid clutter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your wall cabinets have glass doors you can display\nthings like tableware and ornaments. While wooden cabinets mean you can stack\naway paperwork, books and bedding guilt free. Wall cabinets are a perfect\nstorage option for a tiny home, as they make use of the available height and\nspace of a given room. A cabinet can help you display your favorite pieces,\nwhile hiding the rest away. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great place to have a wall cabinet is in a bathroom \u2013 if you\u2019re short on space. This provides a location to store your toiletries, towels, and daily essentials without taking up too much room. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Raise Your Bed for More Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> A raised bed gives you plentiful storage space underneath. This is perfect for personal items you don\u2019t have space for in your bedroom. Use under bed storage for things like shoes you don\u2019t wear regularly, coats, and anything you don\u2019t need access to all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also keeps things tucked away out of sight, so you\nhave more room for the things you don\u2019t want on show in your bedroom. Either\nopt for a bed with built in storage units underneath or store baskets and boxes\naway under here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic boxes with wheels are an ideal option for\nunder the bed storage. Label each box clearly with what\u2019s inside to access your\nitems quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wall Hooks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wall hooks are one of the simplest and best ideas for\nincreasing the storage options within a tiny home. Use them in the kitchen to\nhang utensils or extra chairs, ready for when guests come over. Set up a hook\nup in the bathroom for hanging towels, or add one to bedroom to hang hats,\nclothing, and plants. Install them in the hallway to hang jackets, keys, or\neven bicycles on. Wall hooks have endless possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They free up more floor space as they remove objects\nfrom the ground, giving the appearance of more room. You can easily attach them\nto any wall in the house, so there\u2019s no room which can\u2019t be instantly less\ncluttered with this simple addition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-locations\/\" aria-label=\"Find more CubeSmart Storage Locations Near You!\">Find Storage Near You!<\/a><\/strong><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storage Under Couch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a couch with extra storage underneath is a must when you have a small home. Store extra pillows and blankets out of sight with under couch storage. If you have children, it\u2019s a great place to tidy away toys and crafts after playtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the largest pieces of furniture you\u2019ll own, the couch takes up\na lot of room within the home. Use storage boxes underneath and you\u2019ll make the\nmost of this generally untapped source of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried all the organizational tips\nand tricks you think of, but you\u2019re still low on space, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage\/self-storage\/\">storage unit<\/a> could\nhelp.
