Storage

Get rid of unnecessary items. Give away old clothes and sell any unnecessary junk or old furniture - only keep what you need.

Where possible, keep storage hidden to maximise the living space. Invest in built-in storage solutions. Build wardrobes with sliding doors into the wall, install pull-out tables or even a pull-down bed.

Use furniture as storage. Build a base with drawers under your sofa, or have pull-out drawers beneath your bed.

Lighting

Plan what kind of lighting you will need, and where. Where will you sit to eat, work or read?
