Home is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes. Especially with kids around we need to nave a clear space to move around . We can plan to organize our rooms to avoid placing all furniture on the floor.

Ways To Help Maximize Space In Your Homes 

• You can use furniture with less leg space. This will create more floor space. Floor area can be used constructively by folding furniture and keeping it close to walls
• General guideline is that if you haven’t used an item for more than a year, then you can dispose it as you need it no more. Donate items that are not in use. Cleaning the clutter will not only add space to your room but will also give you peace of mind
• Use multi purpose furniture for eg: a sofa used in the day can be converted into a bed at night, study tables can also be used for ironing needs, Dining table can be hooked to the wall and brought down upon need. You can watch out for new designs in the market too…
• Finalize a central focus point for a room. You can then develop further on  with your decorations and designs. This will give your room a spacious and bigger view than it really has.
• Attic is the place built in below the ceiling. You can use the attic to store seasonal items thereby creating more space in the living areas.

• Allocate space of wall for racks to store toys, reading books, stationary storage,  library books too. Avoid broad base cupboards, this will ensure suitability in the room and appropriate usage of wall.
• Convert the broad based bed space known as deewan into racks for storing pillows and spare linen i.e  sofa covers, table cloths, bed sheets.
  
• Make small compartments in cupboards for segregation of clothes. This will save time for retrieval too.
• The kitchen cabinets can be modified with racks for each type of storage. The background space can be used as hooks to hang kitchen accessories.

• Create specific spaces and shelves in closets of bedrooms. You can split your cabinets of the bedroom into smaller sections. Once you categorize and organize the stuff, you will have less mess around and more clear space.

• Beds can be provided with inbuilt cabinets to stack winter clothing and blankets.

• Similarly good planning will enable us to use a rack with mirror within a built in cupboard and avoid a dressing table.
