Since my husband and I have been married, we have always lived in small apartments and houses. If you’ve ever lived somewhere small that has limited space for decoration, furniture, and storage, you know how frustrating it can be. It can make it extremely hard to organize and clean and even harder to keep it that way. You have to get creative when it comes to finding places to put things.
Thanks to Pinterest, you can find some amazing hacks that will help make your incredibly small home a little more functional. Here are 7 big hacks for your small house.
1. Hide Ugly Storage With Curtains
If you have an unsightly area in your small house where you are storing a large amount of items, hang some curtains on the wall to cover up the mess. When people come over, pull the curtains closed and no one will ever see all the storage you have behind there. It completely covers it up in a beautiful way.

2. Ceiling Shelves
If you don’t have a lot of wall space in your home, try hanging some shelves up high on the wall, close to the ceiling. This way, they won’t get in the way of any furniture or items hanging on the walls and gives you all the wall space you need.

3. Add Storage Behind Closet Doors
Another great way to hide storage is to put it behind the doorways either in a room or in this case, in the closet. They don’t have to be very deep, in fact they can only be a few inches deep, so they won’t interfere with any walls. Either way it will allow you to store extra toys, books, or other items you may need to store, but don’t have anywhere else to put.
