Maximising Space in Your Portable Cabin: Storage and Organisation Tips
Oct 16, 2024
Having your own place to call home is both exciting and daunting, especially when living in a smaller space. The challenge of fitting all your belongings into a limited area can be overwhelming. When space is tight, it’s important to be resourceful and start thinking of storage solutions that creates a sense of openness.
We’ve put together a list of clever tips to help you organise, declutter and open your space up for comfortable small-space living.
Here are 5 ways to start maximising storage solutions in your space.
1. Vertical storage
In smaller living spaces, like RoomMate portable cabins, it’s best to take advantage of wall space by using shelves or racks to create more available floorspace.
Shelves can help you have a designated area to store shoes, clothes, books or other items that would usually sit on the floor or tops of drawers.
2. Multi-functional furniture
Furniture can take up a lot of space – quickly. However, there are a lot of clever ways to use furniture to your storage advantage.
For example, consider getting a table that can fold up and be easily put away when you’re not using it. Additionally, think about getting furniture, like an ottoman, that can double as seating and storage space.
3. Under-bed storage
For items that you don’t frequently use, try storing them under the bed.
In all of our rental cabins, you can fit a queen size bed so take advantage of the space underneath by using drawers or containers to store seasonal items like clothes or linens and start using this often-overlooked space.
4. Corners are your new best friend
Corners are often wasted space in places like a rental cabin, but it can be a clever spot to store your stuff.
By using corner shelving units, you can utilise this space by placing books, plants or decorations – and it can be a chance to add your personal touch. This can help create a cosy and inviting atmosphere too!
5. Spring cleaning
Spend time regularly looking through your things to see if you still use it. By getting rid of items you no longer need, you can free up space and potentially donate or sell items that can benefit others.
If you’re looking for a place to call your own, consider renting a cabin. We offer cabins for rent across New Zealand.
