12. Sliding Walls
Too many walls in a small home can make it seem even smaller, but what if you had the versatility of a wall that you could slide open or closed based on your needs? Keep it shut when you need the privacy or quiet time, but then simply slide it open to create a larger, open space for entertaining.
13. Closet Space For Furniture
If you have a room that isn’t big enough for your furniture, consider using the closet space for the extra square footage needed. Perhaps a changing table, desk, or dresser. Just remove the doors and use the top half for storage.
14. Wall Storage
When it comes to small spaces, you can’t let any wall space go unused, especially in the bathroom where sometimes the only place to store towels is under the dirty sink. For a quick, easy, and lightweight shelf idea, consider using baskets instead of traditional shelving. See more pictures and get the over at Making Lemonade. I also went on a hunt for similar baskets (if not the same exact ones) and found them here.
15. Pull-Down Desk
Most people need a desk or craft table of some sort in their home, but don’t necessarily have the room for something that is only used a couple of times a week. I’m not sure that I’m digging this idea for a desk (no way I’m putting my computer and office supplies away to fold it up!), but it would be perfect as an extra craft table, especially for the kids’ school or lego projects. Check out the details and instructions over at Shanty 2 Chic.
16. Clever Spice Shelves
This is the question in most kitchens– where to put the spices?! Ideally you want them near the stove where you’ll be using them, but that is not always an option. Ashley from Domestic Imperfection, came up with this brilliant idea using the empty wall space in the pantry! Check out the entire pantry reveal here. Hard to believe, but she used mesh drawer organizers for this clever project.
17. Tiered Counter Storage
Just like with homes and buildings (where there isn’t a big footprint), consider building up! For small bathroom or kitchen counters, consider a tiered tray to hold all of the essentials without taking up as much room on the counter. I found this tray for sale here on Amazon. About $110, though! Yowzers. Amazon also has a nice selection of other tiered trays at lower price ranges. I have this one in my kitchen, and I love it! I use it for fruit, veggies, nuts, and other healthy food choices that I want to be easily seen and accessible.
18. DIY Slide-Out Cabinet
If you have any narrow spaces in your kitchen that aren’t being lived up to their full potential, consider a DIY pull-out cabinet that will keep your kitchen essentials convenient without taking much space! Look at how many cans, jars, and spices this one holds– almost an entire pantry’s worth!
19. Small-Space Command Center
Having a centralized spot in the home where everyone can go to check the calendar, see what’s for dinner, or make notes is a great way for a family to stay organized, and that’s all you need is a small wall or corner of the home. I love the way this command center was done by Jenna Burger over at BHG. Go check out the details!
20. Skinny Sofa Table
Coffee tables are great for setting a drink down, but not really worth it if you don’t have the floor space. The best way to gain table space without taking up any room is with a skinny sofa table like this one over at Always Never Done (full tutorial there). Not only does it add visual interest and charm to this living area with the addition of lamps and decorations, but it’s also a convenient place to set down a glass of wine!
Even better, check out this sofa table with a built-in outlet tutorial from Turtles & Tails! This not only provides extra shelf space, but also makes the outlet easy to access for charging your phone or laptop. Pretty darn creative!
