Surprising Ways To Create More Space In

Your Home

Of course, you love your home no matter how small it is but, deep down, chances are that you dread living in the crumpled space. You would love more space for more fresh air, easier movement, and for increased functionality. Besides, it is a proven fact that limited spaces can have adverse effects on your mental health and general wellbeing. The good thing is that you can always increase space in your home regardless of its size.

Creating more space in your home can be as simple as creating additional storage, decluttering, choosing the right furniture, repurposing wasted areas, replacing standard doors with sliding doors, multi-purposing rooms or getting rid of the TV stand.

If you’re craving more space in your home, here are some surprising ways to achieve your goal.

Build Extra Storage Areas

If you are like most people who deep acquiring new stuff, you probably have run out of space to store them. Your family has also probably outgrown the currently available storage areas. Build more storage areas to accommodate the extra items.

Here are a few ways to achieve this.

Add more cabinets to the rooms. To make your work easier, consider investing in ready-to assemble cabinets. They come with a manual for easy installation. You probably will need little carpentry skills to get the job done, but you don’t have to be an expert. Make use of high ceilings by building a loft to serve as an extra storage area. You can also install floor-to-ceiling shelving or hanging units. Stack storage containers with rarely used items under the bed. Alternatively, install under-bed drawers to store the extra items.

Declutter

The alternative of building more storage for your extra items is getting rid of those things that you rarely use. Get down to thoroughly doing an examination of your home starting with books, clothes and furniture. If you can’t justify why an item is in your home, the best thing is to remove it. Use the opportunity to donate those that can be reused, or sell them to make an extra dime.

Use Sliding Doors

If you dread squeezing behind an open door, or your door opening halfway, then it is time you got rid of the standard door. You may ignore the space it takes, but it can go a long way in making a room spacious. Go for the sleek sliding door, as it will only take minimal space.
