Here's How You Can Make More Room In Your Humble Home

Home is where your heart is. That statement bears enough truth to make you wonder whether you designed your home to perfectly suit your way of life, or is there more room for improvement, and there always is, even if you feel like you’ve used every inch of space.

A well-organized, clean, spacy and well-lighted living space is something we all strive for. More space would not only free your home from unnecessary clutter, but it is, in a way, a form of therapy as it would strongly influence your mental health by positively affecting your mood.

There is also a sense of accomplishment and control. From repositioning your furniture to using overhead garage storage racks, here are some useful tips on how to make the best use of your available space at home, and how to make some simple adjustments with strong impact. 

Be innovative

You know, the default purpose of a room does not necessarily mean that you have to use it that way. Sit down, think about your life, your working, eating, sleeping habits, hobbies, basically all the things you do at home and then translate those thoughts over to available space, and how you could best manipulate it to serve your needs. If you have an empty storage room, and you need a more isolated space for your work, you can easily adjust that storage into your own mini office at home without obstructing any of the other inmates’ daily routines.

Use storage cabinets as much as you can

Custom made storage cabinets are pretty useful to place stacks of different items, which do or do not already have a designated place to put away. I mentioned a storage room already, and if you decide to use it to actually store things away make sure you are making the most of it.

I would strongly recommend opting for overhead garage storage racks. This is the best possible way of using the large space on ceilings and. Companies like Good Garage offer strong and reliable overhead storage racks meant to maximize the available storage space in your garage by adding a horizontal level of storage.

Mirrors

Mirrors are a great way to use the exterior to enhance your interior. You can place them strategically to get more natural light during the day, or if you have a really nice view, you can ‘’bring’’ that view inside by a simple trick of a well-placed mirror. This trick does nothing really significant in terms of creating actual space, but the illusion of vastness of nature inside of your room can surely fill your heart with a sense of freedom.

Find the right balance with furniture

Ridding your home of furniture does not actually make it look bigger or spacier. The trick is in balance. You need to make sure that all the necessary elements are there, it would be even better to get custom-made stuff and everything perfectly arranged just the way you imagined it. Overall, it is important to include furniture necessary for normal everyday life, but at the same time try not to cross the line and thus hinder free movement throughout the home.

Put away unused clothes

We all probably have clothes, dirty or clean, lying around our house. This problem can only grow until you realize that clothes are starting to take a lot of space that could be used for something else. What you can do is get rid of old clothes every now and then to avoid hoarding, or you can store it underneath your bed in storage bags which can be vacuum sealed to make even more space if needed.
