High Shelving

Building high shelving in your home is a creative way to add storage space to your home. But there are areas in your home that are more appropriate for high shelving than others.

High shelving in areas like your living room can make the space look crowded. Place high shelving in the rooms you frequent but do not lounge around.

Garage

If you are fortunate to have a garage attached to your tiny home, this is the ideal place for high shelving. Buy stainless steel shelving to suit the garage finishes and support a large weight load.

But if you do not have a garage, here are some reasons to consider purchasing a portable garage.

Laundry Room

Laundry rooms are also excellent for high shelving. Buy shelving that matches your washer and dryer to keep the room homie.

Store your linens, decorative pillows, and handicraft boxes on the laundry room shelves.

Storage Furniture

Storage furniture is an easy way to amp up your storage space and add flair to your home. There is storage furniture for every room size, so you will find pieces to fit in your tiny home.

Under Bed Drawers

Beds with drawers are ideal for storing pillows, flat sheets, and even your night clothes. These beds have a modern feel because they tend to sit low to the ground.

But if you enjoy higher beds, buy a loft bed and place full-sized drawers underneath. This method will increase your storage space and leave room for a lounge area.

Trunks

Trunks are a classic storage hack that looks beautiful in any room. You can buy a brand new trunk or find a vintage trunk at your local thrift store.

Add a blanket and a couple of decorative pillows to your trunk, and you have seating.

Storage Ottomans

Ottomans can double as a footrest and storage compartment. Store blankets or your favorite books in an ottoman for easy access while you lounge.

Vacuum-Sealed Storage Bags

Vacuum-sealed storage bags are a practical home storage and organization solution. Use this hack if you need to free up the storage space you already have in your tiny home.
