In a small house , the first and biggest concern that arises is the lack of storage space . But this does not have to be a problem. With a careful analysis of the available space and some creativity, it is possible to create storage areas without damaging the passage or rest areas in the house.
In an article prepared for idealista/news, MELOM*, a specialized company and leader in real estate remodeling, presents us with several suggestions and tips for creating storage in small houses .
Buy multifunctional and/or intelligent furniture
Today, the market offers a wide variety of furniture that can serve multiple functions in small houses. One of the biggest concerns for a family is to adapt a room for two or more children, when it comes to dividing the space for the bed, the study area, the play area and storage. With multifunctional furniture , it is possible to organize storage, study and bed spaces in a single structure.
Place shelves to optimize space
An empty wall, outside the circulation area, can be a great solution to place shelves, bookcases or other types of custom furniture. On the kitchen counter, on the sofa, on the sideboard in the living room or on the bed, these are just a few examples where you can make the most of the storage space in the house .
Take advantage of unusual spaces for storage
There are solutions that, at first glance, may seem strange, but are an excellent bet in terms of storage. You can take advantage of, for example, the corners of the walls, the clear areas above the sofa or the empty walls, to create small storage niches. You know that little space behind the doors that is useless? Now yes. You can put a shoe rack, a small piece of furniture or a shelf.
Take advantage of the space under the stairs to build cabinets
If your house has more than one floor, surely you have an unused hollow staircase. Why not bring this space to life and use it as a wardrobe?
If you want to opt for a cheaper solution, you can use standard modules and adapt them to the existing space. On the other hand, if you want a tailor-made solution, we recommend that you consult a specialist to make the structure for you or, if you are good at DIY, why not do a DIY project ? Read More…
