How to Make Use of Space in a Small HouseIn a small house, one has to get really creative to organize space most efficiently. My tips and tricks will help you do just that. Below, I would like to discuss several situations with you, where effective design strategies are being applied. Frame Doors and WindowsBy framing doors and windows, you can get some space you usually don't mention. An example may be a U-shaped plasterboard frame around the kitchen door, which allows you to keep crockery, books, or decorative elements more organized. A Pantry Between Two WallsSometimes, creating a pantry between two walls can really be a space-saving option. Being able to plan the shelves, drawers, and sliding solutions makes it possible to optimize space much more efficiently than when buying a ready-made pantry. Keep in mind that you can use not only standard but also very narrow spaces. Save Space by Using StairsSeen as a closed space, it could simply look like a decorative wall clad in wood (much like the floor in your bathroom or bedroom). However, inside, it hides an original wardrobe in which you can store many small things. The idea is extremely practical and can be applied to many areas in your house - from the hall to the corridor, from the kitchen to the bathroom. Its sliding base makes it ideal for storing lightweight things. SotoscaleYou can keep anything under your stairs — furniture, drawers, or shelves where to store suitcases, quilts, and various things that you never know where to put. How do you make it work and reclaim space? By playing with materials and following a clear pattern. Sometimes, it is an even better idea to get some professional advice to make the most of your space. Make Use of PillarsIt is easy to find a structural pillar that cannot be eliminated in old buildings. Pillars like these can be used to visually separate rooms or areas in your house. Some rely on pillars to create shelves, while others prefer to use them to delimit space between furniture. In Tight SpacesIt is quite possible to create a work area in a bedroom. However, you shouldn’t make any aesthetic sacrifices to achieve the desired functionality. So, instead of installing additional furniture in your walls, you can use an extremely personalized solution, e.g., a closet that goes from floor to ceiling, as well as a mezzanine and integrated work area. Its white wood finish will compensate for much of the weight, while the absence of handles or knobs and straight lines makes it “merge” with the wall. Let’s Not Forget About Passage AreasThe apartment was accessible from a dark corridor full of doors. So there was a thought: why not remove them all and create a large, bright space? And that’s exactly what was needed to be done. Instead of a classic wall, put in place a half-height plasterboard wall made of wrought iron and glass. Take advantage of the available space in the lower part and add a storage area and a bookcase. And right on the opposite wall, you may install a set of furniture designed to preserve objects of little depth. The white color and use of wood (to match the pointed parquet floor), make the passage highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Much More Than a Long CorridorLong or short corridors with a width of at least one meter can be used for much more than facilitating passage from one room to another. For example, you can place there all those books that are scattered around your house. By using plasterboard or wood, you can also make built-in cabinets for storing various household items.
