Use Vertical Space Whenever Possible
Make use of vertical space whenever possible. Install wall-mounted shelving units or floating shelves to gain storage while preserving floor space. Floor-to-ceiling shelving units can often replace bulky dressers. Mount pots and pan racks on walls and ceiling hooks on walls to hang utensils and free up cabinet space. Consider vertical bike racks or hanging bike hooks for garage storage.
Multifunctional Furniture Saves Space
Multifunctional furniture is also key. Look for ottomans and coffee tables with hidden storage inside to do double duty. Fold down desks and murphy beds can be tucked away out of sight when not in use. Replace traditional chairs and stools with storage bench seating or stools that stack or nest.
