First of all, we must take into account planning for the needs and additional comfort that we are all used to. For example, how about planning for your dream pantry to slide out into or near the kitchen area? We’re willing to downsize, however why not do it smartly? Here are plenty of options to keep within your schedule:
- over the door organizer baskets for bathroom
- jewelry and makeup storage cabinet that closes with a mirror when closed
- love seats with storage underneath
- sofa/futons with drawers
- ottomans with ample storage space
- small storage ottomans for home office
- benches with storage
- over the door shoe organizers
- folding tables
- folding tables
- floating desks
- folding chairs
- wall mounted beds
- credenza hidden beds
- Raft beds with storage underneath
- over the toilet organizer closet
- small corner cabinets
- storage baskets bins gold
- fold out sofa beds
Second, if you plan to have a loft but find it too cramped to sleep in, consider using it for additional storage space by using large plastic bins for out-of-season clothing, sports, or camping gear. It can also do double duty as an office space as while you are sitting working at a desk your free space needs to be adequate. Installing a pull-down bed on the first floor will provide more comfort and is also a space-saving idea. Some wall beds come with a desk underneath and are used while the bed is hidden against the wall. This table or desk will also be used for meals. Think big when you decide to live small.
Other small house interiors can be done with a raised kitchen floor. If your tiny house is 8 feet wide, then one option is to build 3 steps that are about 2 feet. Wide on one side, and the other side can have a pull-out bed under the raised kitchen floor. The bed is approximately 6 feet. Wide for a double or queen size bed. How smart is that? When you pull out the bed halfway… You can also use it as your sleeping area.
How about a bed that has an electrical mechanism that slides up or down to sleep? As Plato said, “necessity is the mother of invention.” Get creative by inviting family and friends to brainstorm with you as you plan your future tiny dream home.
In conclusion, many more innovative ideas will emerge as you brainstorm and plan your small house interior For your new lifestyle.
