Though it may not be your go-to solution, the answer most likely lies in downsizing your possessions. However, there are other space saver tips and tricks you can use in conjunction. You don’t have to live a completely minimalistic lifestyle.

1. Set Goals

First, you need to take an objective look at your household to identify your weak points. What are the main contributing factors that make your home feel cluttered, confined, etc?

Then, write down some realistic goals you can focus on to help stay motivated. For example:

  • Reducing each room’s items by 25%
  • Getting the whole house cleaned and decluttered in the next two weeks
  • Not allowing yourself to recollect unnecessary items
  • And more

Define your goals based on your space savor needs to make your house feel open and spacious again. It also helps to go over some preparation tips before diving headfirst into a project.

2. Objectively Declutter Your Home

One of the most important space saver tips is learning how to let go of clutter. Over time, we have a knack for collecting tons of stuff we don’t need. For example, most people only use about 20% of their wardrobe on a regular basis.

Go through each room of the house, pulling everything off the shelves and out of the closets. Take an objective look at each item and decide if you actually need it. The golden rule is – if you don’t love it, need it, or use it, it needs to go.

You can sell stuff online, donate it to charity, or trash these possessions.

3. Minimize Furniture

Next, learning how to save space means getting rid of unnecessary furniture. If you don’t do much entertaining, you don’t need multiple couches in your house and several armchairs. Limit your furniture based on your lifestyle.

Get rid of tables, chairs, couches, and desks that are hardly used to open up your living room, dining room, family room, den, etc.

4. Take Advantage of Wall Space

One of the best space-saving tips is learning how to use wall space to house items. Mount shelves on your walls or invest in bookshelves to optimize vertical storage. This is perfect for things like books, candles, figurines, pictures, and other decor items.

In the kitchen, this tactic works well for hanging pots, pans, and colanders. In the bathroom, add shelving and hooks for extra personal items and towels.

5. Use Negative Spaces for Storage

Finally, when it comes to storage, you need to get creative. While the attic, garage, and closets have their place, there are other storage options in your home. Take advantage of the negative space in your home.

For example, mount a shoe hanger on the inside of a closet door to prevent shoes from piling up on the closet floor. Mount extra hooks or coat hangers in the closet and near the entrance for things like coats, jackets, keys, dog leashes, and more.

Finally, use storage bins to store items under beds without creating a mess.
