Spaces | storage room
be a storage genius
TIP 1: Add a storage bed
More often than not, the bedroom is often the room with the most need for maximum
storage but the least amount of space for putting the things away. A storage bed solves this
problem at an instance, as it is already equipped with pull out drawers, which uses the hol-
low space of the bed to provide with a place to put the stuff away. This does not require any
additional piece of furniture, and at the same time makes the room look tidier.
TIP 3: Install a desk with
storage cubbies
If you lack a distinct place to stash
away loose stuff, a good desk with
multiple compartments is a must.
It will solve the dual purpose of
providing storage for papers and
at the same time can be used a
workspace within the house.
Put your creative bend at work and be smart about how you organise
the less square footage space at your disposal
TIP 2: Add a
storage bed
More often than
not, the bedroom
is often the room
with the most need
for maximum stor-
age but the least
amount of space for
putting the things
away. A storage bed
solves this problem
at an instance, as it
is already equipped
with pull out draw-
ers, which uses the
hollow space of
the bed to provide
with a place to put
the stuff away. This
does not require any
additional piece of
furniture, and at the
same time makes
the room look tidier.
TIP 5:
Adjust-
able wall
mounted
shelves
TIP 8: Storage under the stairs
TIP 7: Revamping
the staircase
The stairs are that part
of a house which has
been used in the most
clichéd way. The space
inside the staircase is
one of the most unused
spaces, so why not
put it to some use by
turning your stairs into
hidden storage?
The space under the staircase is the most isolated place in any
house. Using the quirky side of your personality, you can easily put it
to use. Why use just the stairs as a hidden storage, when the whole
space under the staircase can be put to use? There is more than just
adding drawers to it, asit can be used as a small desk space, seating
space or can even be converted into a small toilet or a store room.
There is no easier
way to add abun-
dant, accessible
storage than with
wall mounted
shelving, made
with adjustable
brackets. This
type of easy-to-
install system
is ideal for any
room in the
house.
TIP 10
Include
reflection
TIP4: Use the multi-
functional ottoman
The ottoman has many uses, serv-
ing as extra seating, a footrest, or
even as a bar stool. Versions of ot-
tomans with under lid storage are
the perfect place to stash blankets
or store books.

TIP 9: Add a fold-up table
A folding table is the most convenient piece of
furniture, ideal for a small house. While it can
come handy while facing a dearth of space, it
can also be easily folded as per convenience.
- If you have
absolutely no
way to put the
above mentioned
tips to your use,
then creating the
illusion of storage
is the key for you.
Full length mirrors
and reflections
give the impres-
sion of larger areas
and your house
looks bigger than
it actually is.
TIP 6: Nesting tables
Having less square footage at your disposal doesn’t mean
that you necessarily have to make do with less. All you need
to do is, put your creative bend at work and be smart about
how you organise the available space. By going into the “stor-
age genius” mode, many tiny homes can have as much usable
storage area as places with larger space.
There is nothing stoic or boring
about the nesting tables. Designed
with mobility in mind, they can be
arranged in an endless variety of
functional and stylish configura-
tions. They are the multi tasking
tables that can the living room or
family room clutter in style.
