THESE HACKS Make Small-Space Living SO MUCH EASIER

In theory, a smaller purse = less time spent trying to find things in it. But in reality, it takes about the same amount of time to find your house keys/credit card/lip balm as it did with a larger purse, because you just changed the size of the space you have, not how you actually utilize the space.

The same idea applies to our homes. In small homes, it’s especially important to maximize the space as much as possible without making things feel cluttered or cramped.

Lol, easy right?

But it can be easy. You know we love a “work smarter, not harder” moment, so below, we gathered the best tips and items for easy, breezy small-space living.

1. Small lighting swaps can make a big difference.

One of our favorite tips from HomeTok: Never use the big light (aka the ceiling lights). Instead, create a cozy ambiance with alternate light sources like lamps, sconces, LED strip lights, and puck lights.

2. Keep the floor clear.

Make the most of your wall space with storage options like hooks, over the door organizers, and shelves. This keeps the floor from feeling small and cluttered.

3. Do the same with countertops.

Create more space in a small kitchen with storage options that keep essentials within easy reach without cluttering the countertops.

4. Choose multi-functional items.

A bench that doubles as storage? A vertical trash can? We say yes to space-saving designs.

6. Hang curtains as high as possible 
Installing floor-to-ceiling curtains is one of those things that doesn’t sound like it would make a big difference, but holy sh*t it truly does. (Need proof? See here and here.)

7. Get thee some peel-and-stick accents.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper and tiles are less commitment than permanent installations and can be used to dramatically change the look of a room, giving it a more open aesthetic. Just be sure to carefully read the instructions.
