How To Create More Space In A Shared Home

Utilise vertical space: Use shelves and wall-mounted storage to make the most of the vertical space in your home. This will help clear up floor space for activities and movement.

Add furniture that doubles up: Look for furniture pieces that can serve multiple purposes. For example, you can get shoe racks that double as seats, a rotating storage rack with a mirror or desks with plenty of shelf and cupboard spaces.

Get creative with storage: Use baskets, bins, and other containers to store items and declutter your home. These can be tucked away under furniture, hung on the wall, or stored in closets.

Rearrange furniture: Sometimes, rearranging furniture can make a world of difference in how much space you have. Make sure to measure and plan out the room before making any changes.

Feel free to get rid of things: Take a look at the items in your home that you no longer need or use. Donating or selling these items will help free up space and create a more open feel in your home.

Get some gadgets: There are always plenty of home storage gadgets that can make a big difference in how you store things. Check out Amazon, eBay and Shein for affordable collapsible hangers, wall or door-mounted storage, slim trolleys, cupboard sliding organisers and much more - there are handy storage solutions you never thought you'd need!

Use self-storage units: If you have seasonal equipment or furniture, or more oversized items, you could do with keeping out of the way for now - self-storage is a cheap option to store your items where you can access them 24/7 and keep them for as long or as little as you need. No deposit or notice to vacate means it's quick and easy.
