Space Saving Designs for houses

As the population is growing, people are migrating to bigger cities and have to live in smaller houses and flats. Due to space constraints in these small places, construction and furniture have to be aligned in a way such that more stuff can be accommodated in less space. There are several ways in which it can be done.

Being available in variety of designs, materials and price levels make it easily accessible to a good number of people. It can turn a non-useful space of the house into a useful one.

Storage Beds

Storage Beds- Just by lifting the cover on which the mattress is kept, a bed can turn into a box of almost similar dimension. It can be stuffed with a lot of things like linens, pillow-covers, bed sheets and bed covers etc. This space has more to offer than a wardrobe, chest or many drawers.

Storage Beds

Grow Vertically- Vertical drawers mounted on the wall or placed in-house, provide ample space to keep things, which are used on a daily basis and are to be taken out for use every now and then.
