Go Design residential drafting services in Penshurst on making the most of your granny flat space

Clutter accumulates quickly in every home. In a large home, these new additions get tucked away, unnoticed. But in an small granny flat, your belongings can quickly fill up the little existing storage space. Next thing you know, your small home is filled with hundreds of small items that have nowhere to go, and your closets are filled to the brim. So how do you maximize space in a room the size of a shoebox? Our drafting services in Penshurst have a few tips to help:

Closet challenged? Create storage where there is none. Choose a bed with high legs or under-bed storage, and store items underneath. Look up for more storage areas—if the cabinets in your kitchen don’t extend all the way to the ceiling, store entertaining pieces like a cake stand or oversize platter in the space between the cabinet and the ceiling. 

Separate you living spaces up separate areas for performing distinct task. Be creative with your space to maximize its use and when decorating, clearly separate living and sleeping spaces with shelving units, screens or rugs.

Remove anything unnecessary—do this regularly. Get rid of anything you don’t use regularly. Purge unnecessary belongings at least twice a year. If you come across something you haven’t used in awhile, don’t put it back where it was. Bring it to Goodwill or dump it down the trash shoot as soon as possible.
