Most families nowadays own a kind of storage item where they store food and other valuable belongings. Most of them are made from plastic materials, like the ones being produced by Tupperware and Orocan, whose designs and specifications keep on improving by adding features that make them more versatile and useful.
But one characteristic common in maximizing space in a small house is using space saving furniture and storage items. While some come in handy and compact sizes, others are bulky, heavy, and occupy big spaces. People living in apartments or boarding houses do not have adequate rooms for them so they make the most of the space available. They use space saving furniture and small stuff that allow versatility and flexibility.
Here are some tips and a few list of space saving furniture and other handy stuff to maximize space and live big in a small house.
Pull-out Sofa
If your house is small and you're planning to buy a sofa, consider the one that is a pull-out sofa. It has a dual function - a sofa to accommodate any guests or visitors, or a sofa that can be unfolded and function as a bed. Moreover, you don't have to fork out extra amount of money to buy a bed anymore, and the space inside the house won't be cluttered with any other furniture that makes the space tight.
Bathroom Shelf
To store all things to be used for the bathroom such as napkins, towels, and other bathroom accessories, you need bathroom storage tower to put all these together in one cabinet.
