Assess your current belongings

Assessing the things that you can still use and things to be kept is important when you require more space at home. Instead of buying new home furnishing or accessories, you may have it remodeled and refurnish. This will prevent your things to pile up over time. You may also consider selling it at a garage sale or donating it to those in need.

Get Organized

If things are thrown all over the place of the house, the more it looks smaller. So, after you sort, organize it. Then you can use every inch of space you can have and keep the things that are not usually used in a closed cabinet or in a garage.

The right furniture and/or accessories

Look for items that are purposeful, adjustable and easy to move. For instance, a sofa bed that can be extendable and folded when not in use is a great choice. You may also have a chair that has a built-in storage cabinet underneath. Of course, select smaller scale furniture to provide a breathing room in every area at home.
