Small spaces aren’t the traditionally sought-after spaces for growing families, however with more millennial parents opting to live a minimal lifestyle – families are adjusting to life in homes with less square footage. In the event your family is downsizing by choice, or by necessity, begin with the tips below for creating a functional space that will support your growing family.
Three Strategies for Making Small Spaces Benefit Your Family
Channel Your Inner Marie Kondo
It’s a chance to purge! Take a tip from tiny home enthusiasts who have decided to live a simpler life – downsizing means committing to decluttering. Re-gift, donate and sell unwanted items. Eliminate multiples and just keep items that spark joy – and have your children help.
Every Item Has a Home, Every Space a Purpose
Being thoughtful as to what items stay in your family’s space is equally as important as determining where to store it. Families without the space for a designated playroom should think about where toys will be tucked away. Try rotating toys to save space, while helping kids get the most out of playtime.
Go Vertical
Some may claim that floor space is regarded as the valued space in a smaller home – but vertical will be the best option! Bookcases, coat racks and shoe trees are usually great alternatives for tiny spaces.
