With the many things that you've accumulated over the years along with the personal belongings of everyone else in your household, you are now in dire need of extra space in your home. But the challenge is that you do not have the time and money yet for a renovation. Thanks to these easy, practical solutions, you can still enjoy a more organized, cozy home without having to spend a lot.
The first thing to do is to inspect each room and square inch of your home, including the floors, walls, and the ceilings. There might be a blank wall in your living room where you can mount shelves to neatly show off selected family photos and your precious collections. Or perhaps you could use a blank corner in your bedroom where a stack of plastic cases can be placed to hold clothes, shoes, bags, stationery, or just about anything that can fit in there.
Opt for double duty furniture as a way to enjoy more floor space. If you have visitors who frequently sleep overnight and you don't have a guest room, you might be better off with a day bed or a sofa bed instead of a regular couch at the living room. In the bedroom, a study desk can also be a vanity table when fitted with a mirror. Another technique is to use a glass-top dining or coffee table if you wish to make the space appear bigger.
Take time to sort your things and decide which ones you want to throw away, give out, and keep. For the things that you do not want to keep anymore, you may either put them up for sale or just give them away to friends or neighbors who may probably find them still valuable. These can be old clothing, shoes, your children's outgrown toys, and kitchen appliances which you don't want to maintain anymore. You not only gain more room, you also get to earn extra money.
For things that you just can't give up easily but cannot be accommodated in your home due to limited room available, self storage facilities are your best bet. Think of these storage space solutions as the extension of your house where you can keep important things that you don't use too often. Examples are seasonal home decorations, special occasion clothes, or any item that holds a sentimental value to you and your family.
