Most homeowners who own a tiny home are often pressed for storage space. They usually make up for this by maximizing the already cramped storage in our kitchen. Although a separate storage room would be a great choice, it would take up more floor space in your already tiny home.
Finding Storage Space
A great alternative is to use the under-utilized spaces of existing rooms, walls, or the area underneath the furniture. Being creative and observant of under-utilized space is key to maximizing storage beyond the kitchen.
Remodeling with this in mind will surely help keep your home from looking cluttered while maximizing livable space. Below are some storage design ideas that revolve around custom cabinets that add more storage space while also enhancing your home’s beauty.
Storage Bed
The bedroom is often the room with the most amount of space for storage. Still, modern design sometimes restricts excessive additional custom cabinets other than the main wardrobe cabinet and a few shelves and drawers here and there.
To account for this, the space underneath the bed can be a prime space for storage. Consider installing custom cabinets/drawers in this space. These cabinets can be either shoe racks or storage for sheets and blankets or other items necessary inside the bedroom.
These items usually end up sharing space with the already cramped wardrobe cabinet, so giving them their very own storage space can make you feel more relaxed and less cluttered. This home storage solution is every bit as practical as it’s beautiful.
Mudroom Storage
Mudrooms are essential places in the house wherein you can leave the weather behind and the stains outside your home. Without them, wet soaked raincoats, shoes, or umbrellas can damage wood flooring. These rooms usually don’t get any attention from homeowners, but reliable and functional storage space can be put in this place. For instance, custom cabinets complete with coat hooks, shelves, and drawers are perfect for this room.
This storage space can be dedicated to essential things that we usually carry outside. These items can be umbrellas, coats, bags, and slippers, among many others.
Outdoor Bench Storage
An outdoor bench has become almost a necessity nowadays. This is where we usually plop down while removing dirty shoes or sitting while staring blankly to the sky. In other words, an outdoor bench is a convenient place to relax. But you can rest easier knowing that it can store things essential for garden work such as a hose, extension wires, or other less than attractive supplies. You can build one by making the bench a top-open custom cabinet.
Knee-Wall Dresser
You can convert the hidden and unused spaces of the knee-wall of an upstairs bedroom into valuable storage spaces. From here, you can transform the knee-wall into a chest of drawers or storage cabinet without sacrificing an inch of floor space.
Storage Ottoman
Although the ottoman has many uses, serving as extra seats, coffee table, or a footrest, its potential function is not yet done. Ottomans with under-lid storage, sort of like a top-open custom cabinet, are the perfect storage space for books, blankets, and sheets. Alongside its storage potential, a storage ottoman can also be decorated to fit your household theme or needs. It can also be stain-resistant or vary in style and height to complement existing furniture.
