Sometimes small spaces are inevitable in our homes and it can be overwhelming trying to contain all of our belongings in these areas. Implement the following changes into your home and make the most out of your small living spaces.

Kitchen
Small kitchens often mean limited storage. Consider storage options in places you may have never thought of. The inside of cupboard doors in your pantry, for example, are a great place to hide small items like cans, brooms, etc. Magnetic strips can be glued to hold knives or steel spice jars. Hooks can be added to hold the family calendar, kitchen towels and oven mitts. Small baskets can be hooked around the door for storing tin foil, saran wrap, baggies and other kitchen essentials.

Living room
Living rooms are often the hub of family get-togethers, slumber parties and games nights but in a small space things can feel cramped quickly. To make the space feel bigger and brighter, hang mirrors strategically, paint the room in lighter colours and declutter. Adding a console table behind the couch adds functional storage, and using canvas baskets to store magazines and throw blankets helps to keep the space organized in a flash!

Bedroom
To maximize space in a bedroom ditch the clunky dresser and opt for a bed with built-in drawers. Under-the-bed storage is great for bigger items like blankets, warm clothes, pajamas and seasonal clothing. By eliminating the need for a dresser you will have more walking space and your room won’t seem as cramped. This option is great for any room as beds with storage can be found in all sizes.

Bathroom
Be bold with your bathroom decor and try using large scale prints. Big patterns on your shower curtain, or wallpaper can trick the eye into thinking the space is much bigger than it actually is. It is also important to keep your bathroom accessories to a minimum. Keep toiletries stored away and consider only having a hand towel and soap visible. The more clutter there is the more cramped the bathroom will feel.

Closet
If your closet is small, consider custom built-in storage. Built-in storage maximizes all of the space in the closet by using hanging rods, drawers and shelving systems. Custom closets allow for you to choose your preferred clothing storage and ensure that every space is being used effectively.

Small spaces don’t have to be a bad thing. By using these small space hacks you’ll be creating functional and open spaces to enjoy.
