When you live in a small home, one fact that is glaringly obvious is how space is at a premium. It makes no difference whether you choose to live in such a home for monetary or convenience reasons. You’re always on the lookout for space-saving ideas.

Why? Because there’s no getting away from having limited space at your disposal. 

You’re likely reading this article today because you live in a small home, and you want to make the most of your limited living space. 

FIve Space-Saving Ideas for Small Homes

Check out these five space-saving ideas that you can use in your abode today:

kitchen storage space

1. Have wall-mounted kitchen cookware

Many people tend to store their cookware in cupboards when they aren’t in use. Of course, when you’re short of space in your kitchen, hiding away your cookware isn’t necessarily an option. With that in mind, what else can you do?

One idea is to make your USA Pan cookware a feature of your kitchen by hanging it on a wall! It’s a cheap and easy thing to do. What’s more, it makes your pots and pans more accessible when you’re cooking a delicious meal!

2. Install a built-in ironing board

If you’re someone that never irons their clothes, you can quietly skip this idea. However, if you like having your clothing pressed and presentable, have you considered something like the Iron-A-Way built-in ironing board?

It’s a fantastic way to save space yet make your ironing facilities easily accessible. You can even make the “door” match the other doors in your home to give the illusion you’ve got another room!

3. Create a loft bedroom

Do you own your home? If so, and you live in an apartment with high ceilings, consider creating a loft bedroom. It’s an ingenious way to separate your living and sleeping quarters while providing extra space in your abode.

You should make sure to check if you need permission to alter the internal structure of your apartment. Apart from that, you’re free to go for any particular style of loft bedroom that suits your tastes and requirements.

4. Get rid of bulky furniture

You might have a penchant for grand-looking furniture in your home. But what’s the point if you can’t even walk around your apartment or house without bumping into something? That’s why it makes sense to get rid of any bulky furniture in your home.

Did you know that you could still enjoy lying down on a large sofa the same as your existing bulky one? But, the new one wouldn’t take up so much space due to its ergonomic and space-saving design?

5. Convert your walls into space-saving storage spaces

One final space-saving hack is to use your walls for storage instead of your floors. For example, you could install some floating shelves on some of your walls to store things like books, CDs, and DVDs.

Another idea is to have a carpenter create a unique bookshelf that fits into a wall space with an unusual width. You could even build your storage solution around your TV for a more built-in appearance!
