“Home is where the heart is.” A house becomes a home with its inhabitants, their feelings and their union and each house also seems to have a certain personality. And who wouldn’t want their home to be more spacious, bright and cozy? Even though having a big house is an impossible dream for many people, with some techniques it is possible to make the most of small spaces, optimizing every available place.
O awesome.club shares with you some genius ideas for you to make the most of your space with super simple and modern decorations.
1. These beds are charming and space-saving
Change your traditional bed with this bunk bed and gain additional space in your child’s room, both for playing and studying. In addition, you will also be delimiting children’s privacy spaces.
2. Get the best of both worlds: a studio and a living room
Not sure if you want an office or a sofa for your bedroom? Why not both? With this minimalistic, space-saving design, you can have it both ways! The arrangement also makes it possible to gain extra space to store books and papers.
3. Play with colors and shapes
Use empty spaces on the wall and create this unique decoration and storage area. Keep books, mementos, photos, or anything else you want in this area of the wall. The use of contrasting colors further accentuates the style and makes the wall stand out.
4. Use vertical space to gain even more space within a room
A bed over your workspace and vice versa: this two-in-one design is super futuristic. Take advantage of vertical space. You can add stairs and double the area available in your room. This kind of mezzanine can be used for anything: a secluded reading space, a desk or even an extra bed.
5. A desk that turns into a dressing table
Instead of just a traditional drawer, modify a folding table (like in the photo) to get storage space under the top. Place a mirror at the bottom and voila, you have a chic dressing table to keep all your stuff in one place! You will never have to look for your accessories in different places again. It is even possible to customize it to store products for your baby or for crafts, for example.
6. The beds of the future
So-called folding beds or wall-mounted beds are excellent multifunctional furniture. You can use them as a sofa during the day and as a bed at night. They are ideal for small spaces where you don’t have a separate guest room.
7. If height is an issue, use auxiliary beds
These beds work wonderfully for confined spaces. Space saving is excellent, even for homes with children. Instead of multiple beds, you can also customize the space with a mobile compartment to store toys or extra beds.
8. An invisible storage space
This false floor offers a lot of space to store things without much effort. The upper area can be used as you wish, while the lower part of the floor can store objects.
9. Store frequently used items under a play area
This space works best for things that are used frequently. Simply use vacant local spaces under furniture. If you can’t adapt furniture, use boxes under beds, for example.
10. Smart nightstands
Nightstands are generally underappreciated. Customize yours and keep the essentials of your night routine, such as books, candles, creams, remote control, among others. Thus, your room is visibly more organized, without the presence of loose objects.
11. A joker shelf
If you want your room to be more spacious, ditch the servant and replace it with this small floating bookcase. It creates a lot of space in the room and looks clean and modern.
12. A cozy and small place for a hidden desk
This is the solution for all those who desperately need a desk, but “don’t have much space”. Remove a drawer and adapt a top, such as a table, anywhere in the house. When the small support is no longer useful, just put the drawer back.
13. The bathroom mirror is a good idea to store objects and creams
Install shelves on the side and you’re done! A good space to store your products. The same solution can be adopted elsewhere in the house, such as the bedroom, living room and bathroom.
14. Touch elegantly with this folding table
If your home doesn’t have room for a table, don’t worry. This folding model will make your small space more elegant and sophisticated. It can be done by professionals who work with bespoke furniture.
15. Take advantage of dead spaces
Utilize every ‘dead’ area in the house to gain additional storage space. Make shelves, hang hooks or create elegant bookcases. Use all of this to store spices, glasses, cutlery, cleaning products, shoes and even brushes and brooms.
16. Use the sides of a closet to hang additional objects
These side spaces of tall cabinets are often overlooked in most homes. Use them to make an elegant holder to store cleaning items, cables, cloths and even food and shoes. You will need very little space and the solution works well for storing household items. If you don’t want to install doors, simply use the side to place hooks.
17. A sink over the toilet to save water and space
Some sinks can be connected directly to the attached toilet box, in a minimalist and environmentally friendly solution. This solution reduces water consumption (since what is used in the vat passes, then to the discharge) and still saves space, as long as it is well planned. In this case, before making the change, it is worth consulting a specialized professional.
18. A shelf above the attached toilet box for towels, creams and accessories
This bathroom shelf is ideal for storing bathroom items, toilet paper or towels. You can also opt for overhead furniture such as cabinets or even shelves.
19.Play with the design and storage concept
Make your decor stand out by pairing stylish design with storage solutions. For example, store toilet paper rolls on a tic-tac-toe board, using wooden or plastic “Xs”. Have fun redecorating your home!
20. A sink mounted over a bathtub for compact bathrooms
Sinks installed over the bathtub also help to save spaces that would otherwise be dead. In the case of the solution in the photo above, the sink faucet can be used to balance the temperature of the bath with cold water — as the hot water enters through another faucet.
