Option #1: Low Shelving Near the Bathroom Floor Adds Additional Storage Space
Unfortunately, beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to redesigning a tiny space. So if you happen to dislike low shelving, you may need to reconsider your feelings because they are an excellent option to have nonetheless.
By adding in low shelving, you literally add additional storage space that you may not have even considered up until this point. This space can be utilized perfectly to hold your beauty supplies and makeup, your hair care products; your shampoo and other toiletries, and anything else you may need in the bathroom that doesn’t have a home.
The other alternative is to clutter the sink’s countertop in your bathroom. Is that what you really want? Hopefully not because a cluttered countertop is ugly, unattractive, and downright annoying for anyone else who may need to share the bathroom with you.
Option #2: New Cabinets Are Always a Great Choice
Storage space is always at a premium in a smaller tiny home. So, if your home has a small bathroom or kitchen, utilizing the walls for storage space is the right way to go. By adding additional cabinets to your kitchen you’ll have more places to store pots and pans, canned goods and other nonperishables, and miscellaneous items that you just can’t seem to find the right home.
Bathrooms also benefit from additional cabinets if you have the wall space. Maybe your bathroom is currently lacking a medicine cabinet. Hang one of over your toilet bowl or sink and you can store your medicine, your razor and razor blades, toothpaste and a toothbrush, and anything else you’d typically find in a bathroom.
Option #3: Mirrors Can Really Open up a Room
The pros have a tendency to avoid decorating homes with mirrors, and this is especially true with small spaces. But we think this is foolhardy because mirrors give the appearance of making a small space much bigger. If you add them to a tiny apartment or living area, the mirrors will give the illusion of a larger and more spacious area.
And you can basically hang mirrors anywhere you like. Put them up in your living room, bedroom, family room, and elsewhere. You’ll feel like you live in a much bigger space because of your mirrors and you’ll definitely appreciate having them on the days when you’re feeling particularly claustrophobic.
Option #4: Put a Pedestal Sink in Your Bathroom
Why put a pedestal sink in your bathroom? It’s an excellent option because the pedestal is very thin, so you can use the additional space around it to store toiletries and other items.
Just add storage bins on either side of the pedestal and you can use them to house your towels, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and soap, and other toiletries as well. Putting in a pedestal sink is a great way to open up a tiny area and create much-needed storage space.
Option #5: Take Advantage of Your Vertical Space
Most people tend to ignore vertical storage. This is a big mistake because the backs of doors, the insides of cabinets, and walls are great places to hang things up and store your important items.
Ideally, if you’re having a tough time finding a place to store your pots and pans, you can put hooks on your kitchen walls and hang them up there. Not only will you find a place to store them, but by hanging them up you also turn them into a nice decoration. So make sure you have a high-quality set of pots and pans to show off to your friends and neighbors.
