With more people moving to the suburbs, larger homes are in strong demand and harder to find. Whether you are a large family, a couple or a single, there are several innovative ways you can save space in your home, and not have the feeling of being cramped.

Whatever your lifestyle and budget, here are 7 space-saving tips for a small home.

1. Use Walls To Increase Storage Space

The number one way to save space is by utilising storage space. A lot of people don’t consider looking up for extra storage. There is often ample space between the benches and the ceiling, which often isn’t being used. Cabinets or wire racks can be mounted onto walls and used to store anything you can imagine. Kitchen supplies, jackets, keys, mugs and more.

2. Mount Shelves Above Washing Machine and Clothes Dryer

Are your washer and dryer side by side? Or do you have a washer dryer combo? To maximise your laundry space, add some shelves above it. It’s a low-cost and easy to implement idea which makes your laundry more inviting. You can store detergents and laundry soaps on the shelves out of the way, as well as keep bathroom supplies, towels, and even hang clothes on a rack so they won’t wrinkle.

3. Floor To Ceiling Bookshelf

Do you have an empty wall in your home? Using floor to ceiling storage is a great way to utilise space, and you can use it for more than just books. Even if you don’t have a spare wall, you can build a bookcase can be built next to a door frame. Read about how to make income.

4. Fold-Down Table

A multi-purpose fold down table is great when short on space, especially if you have kids. The table latches to a wall. Then it can easily be folded down and back up in just seconds. Do you have visitors over and not enough space? Quickly fold the table down! It is also perfect for kids to use to do homework or a fun arts n’ craft project. 

5. Add a Breakfast Bar

A breakfast bar is a low-cost and no-frills way to add some extra dining space in the kitchen. It also looks superb in a rustic and contemporary setting. Consider either a stand-alone counter or an add on to an existing bench.

6. Under stairs storage

If you have stairs in your home, this is one of the best space-saving tricks you can use! All the wasted space under the stairs can turn into storage space. It uses multiple pull out drawers with shelves and racks and takes inspiration from tiny homes. Under stair storage instantly reduces clutter. 

7. Use Outdoor Furniture

Trying to cram too much into your living room is a sure way to make your home feel smaller than it is. Instead, take advantage of the warm Aussie weather, and use an outdoor seating area for your dining space. Either a patio or an open outdoor deck, it can provide you with just as much comfort as an indoor dining table.
