I’m the happy owner of a 1,500 sqft house (500 of which is the finished basement) who’s obsessing over clever storage ideas and better use of space to hide clutter (mainly caused by my toddler son)
I’ve been collecting storage ideas of tiny house storage-solutions on Pinterest.
Anyone has any other experience / ideas to share of how you concealed clutter in a small house & designed creative & affordable storage solutions?
For example:
- I’d like to make a narrow broom closet with door in between the wall studs of the staircase that leads to the basement. If budget allows, also turn some stair steps into drawers.
- Same idea in my son’s room for his books.
- I see recommendations about using vertical space, but then how the hell do you get the stuff you store so high?
- Looking to turn 2 kitchen shelves into a small pantry shelf, has anyone tried that?
- I got a hall tree for the entrance but now it looks messy, so I’m thinking of doing a small built-in mudroom or armoire with doors and a built in bench under the window. That’s probably expensive, isn’t it?
NP. I love these ideas! I have the same size house. Does anyone have tips or clever hacks on preparing for a baby? Or just more ideas for hidden storage?
