3 tips to optimize and save space at home

The more years go by, the more business we accumulate at home. What if over the years our house could gain a few square feet? Here are some simple tips to optimize and save space.

 

Tip # 1: useful or not 

Before embarking on various arrangements, the first question to ask is the usefulness of the things we own. Sorting is the number one step in optimizing space. Then you just have to put away what is useful to you.

We can categorize our objects as follows:

• I use it every day
• I use it often
• I do not use it and I do not need it
• the “it can always be useful”

 

This way, you can store what you often use in your living spaces and within easy reach. For the rest, you can store it in hidden and less accessible spaces. You may even want to give or sell things that you no longer need.

 

Refining your home by "hiding" as much stuff as possible will give you a feeling of space.

 

Tip n ° 2: find wasted spaces to optimize them

We don't always think of using wasted spaces as storage opportunities, but there are many nooks and crannies in your home! As said before, the more your things are stored, the more space you will have.

 

Under the stairs

Storage under your stairs is a great way to make the most of your wasted space. You can even use depth for those things you rarely use, and put other everyday items close at hand.

 

Under the furniture

Maybe your sofa has a storage box or your bed can accommodate a few storage boxes?

 

The great empty walls

If you have a large empty wall, you can imagine many storage solutions with shelves. You can even make the whole thing very decorative, for example a bookcase wall with plants and paintings or a desk extending into a shelf!

 

Window sills

They are ideal for creating little cocoons of well-being. You can set up a bench with cushions and blankets. Another opportunity to create beautiful storage and to use a double function for the furniture.

 

Tip 3: delimit the space for more space

 

If you are looking for an additional room, an office or a dressing room for example, here are 3 ideas for delimiting the spaces and creating an additional room!

 

The canopies

Very trendy, the interior glass roof makes it possible to delimit the space by letting the light pass but by isolating the noise by windows. There are all colors, but the trend is black for an industrial touch.

 

The trellises

The trellises are composed of several wooden battens in different forms. They are therefore openwork partitions. They are ideal for delimiting a space such as an entrance or for creating an office area because these partitions let in all the light. It is also a good alternative to the canopy because it is less expensive.

 

A dressing room behind the bed

The last tip for bedrooms is to define a dressing area behind the bed with a partition or shelves. This solution is more and more widespread and it is even used for open bathrooms in the bedroom!

 

It is therefore easy to optimize your space with solutions that require more or less investment. Can you find a little nook to use in your home?
