Small Spaces Storage Ideas Made Easy - featured image

In small homes, there isn't any room for large storage furniture or lots of stuff. No matter how you try, placing a lot of items in small spaces becomes futile. To make space functional for people in small spaces, you need to be creative in determining where to store and display items. Today, we will share various posts where we talk about small spaces storage ideas. Hopefully, we will help you store the items to maximize the storage and reduce immediate clutter in the small room. From finding the wasted small spaces for storage to specific items that can easily get out of hand, all these items are manageable and stored in a small space home.

5 Small Spaces Storage Ideas in Your Home

First, let's start with finding the hidden places in your home, you never thought of before.

This could be under your steps, in a bump-out wall, or the small attic over your garage. This post talks about where to look to help you find these places.

Clothing lovers, you can rest easy! We have you covered.

We always talk about reducing those piles, but let's be realistic. Not everyone will do that and may prefer to have more clothing in their home. But, in a small closet, it may be more difficult to organize without some help. This post talks about the home areas you can store clothing like out of season stuff to make your current season clothing more accessible.

Well, there you have it! While it may be frustrating to live in a smaller home, there are also benefits that may outweigh the extra space. One of the best reasons for living in a smaller house is that you can be more creative in designing your spaces. I have to measure and figure out how much space I have, though, which may be a downside for some people. It helps me use my imagination and keeps me from buying anything too large for the room. Sure, I would love to have all the space in the world, but I am sacrificing my time and energy to maintain the bigger home with all that excess space.  I would rather be helping others organize or cook meals for friends and family.  

I hope this post helps you organize your small spaces storage areas without trading in your comfort.

Now it is your turn! Do you have a small home?  What is your favorite way to save space in your small home?  Please leave a message below.

    So many great suggestions! I went ahead and read your post on book storage as well. So many clever ideas I wouldn't have ever thought of!

    I love the challenge of fitting everything into small spaces. It can be done and be beautiful. I really liked many of the photos in your book storage post. I love having books around and you showed many non-traditional ideas. thanks.

      Thanks! It has been 10 years this year blogging, so I had a lot of posts on the topic. =)

      I love all of these solutions for small space storage. I have ottomans for storage. They do double duty, a place to sit and a place to store. I really like when furniture has multi uses.
      Amazing how you were able to cull information from many of your former posts. Great work, Sabrina!

    Perhaps the biggest aspect of having a smaller living space is reducing the number of things we're keeping. I guess that's a given. Because the reality is that we only use 20% of the things we own and store in most categories. But once you've done the edit, you've offered so many excellent suggestions to maximize the space you have left. Often it is finding storage space in places you might typically overlook. Recently, we added some additional storage in our kitchen by stacking these lovely 7" wide gray modular stacking drawers from The Container Store. Before that, the space was open and unused. But now I have a vitamin and baking center that I didn't have before.

      That's wonderful that you were able to create a new area just by adding storage. Have fun with it.

    I love the sponges, idea! I can't tell you how many sponges I purchase and never can locate one when I need it. The shelving is great too. Are they difficult to mount on the walls?

      Not really, there have little hooks on the shelves in the back. We used drywall screws with anchors. The mason jars project was a little more difficult, we had to get the right hooks to attach to the back.

    Great ideas. I like any ideas for limited space. I recently have begun getting rid of useless stuff I have not used in a while. As a result, I was able to consolidate many of my other items. I will use some of your ideas to store them

    I've just moved into a smaller house. It still has lots of room for what we need, but there were areas where I needed to get better organized to use the space. It feels to good to get organized and get by with less space. I like the shelves you've used in your daughter's bedroom.

    I have more house than I'll ever use but my son has a 450 sq.foot condo so we're always looking for storage ideas. I like the idea of using the shelf for a night table - will check that one out.

      I know so many people that move just because they can't manage the stuff in their space. It's sad. My goal is to help people manage the smaller spaces so they don't have to move. Thanks for stopping by.

    I always love organizing tips! It seems I'm always fighting a losing battle with all the "stuff". And IKEA is a great place to get supplies without spending a ton of money.

      Very true. Love that place.

    I recently watched a documentary movie called Tiny about people who build and live in houses that are only a few hundred square feet. If you haven't seen it you might enjoy watching the creative ways they use the space in these small homes.

      I haven't had a chance to see that one yet. I do love the show on FYI called Tiny House Nation. It's very inspiring. Thanks for stopping by.

    Some great ideas here. My husband and I are in the house buying phase to downsize so I'm all into reading about smaller spaces! In particular I like the reminder of corner shelving. Thanks.
