Smart storage solutions – Maximising space in small homes

Living in a small home may seem restrictive, but with a few clever storage tips, every square metre can be used efficiently and stylishly. The aim is to save space without sacrificing comfort or design.

  1. Choose multifunctional furniture
    A bed with built-in drawers, a coffee table with storage, or a sofa bed combines practicality with style. These “2-in-1” pieces are ideal for making the most of limited space.
  2. Make use of vertical space
    Walls are a valuable and often underused surface. Wall shelves, hooks, or hanging storage free up floor space while adding character to a room.
  3. Store items under furniture
    The space under the bed, sofa, or even stairs can be turned into useful storage. Boxes, baskets, or rolling drawers make discreet organisation simple.
  4. Use dividers and boxes
    In cupboards, drawer dividers and clear boxes help sort and quickly find items. This prevents clutter and maximises storage capacity.
  5. Opt for modular furniture
    Modular pieces that adapt to your needs (extendable tables, adjustable shelving) offer great flexibility. They are especially useful in studios or small flats. By applying these simple tips, a small home can become functional, comfortable, and harmonious. The secret lies in careful organisation and smart furniture choices.
