When it comes to property, the amount of space you have, matters. It affects not only the quality of life of those that live there but the value of your property as well. The good news is you can expand the amount of space that is available in your home in the following ingenious ways. 

Audit your possessions.

I know that you are probably sick of decluttering posts, but there is wisdom in minimizing your possessions and furniture! After all, the less you have, the greater the space inside your home will seem. 

Don't panic though, because that doesn't mean you have to throw everything you love away and live in a minimalist white box. Instead, it's all about being mindful of what to keep. For example, if you use an item regularly, getting rid of it wouldn't be practical or the best use of your money either. 

However, for those things that you haven't touched in the last six months, it can work a treat. We’re talking about things like all those boxes of craft supplies, and the exercise bike that is currently being used as a very expensive clothes horse that would be better off going to someone that will genuinely use them! 

Make the best use of all the space you have.

So many people complain that they don't have enough space in their homes, but seem completely blind to the opportunities to add more that are right before their very eyes. Utilizing currently wasted space like cellars, attics, and gardens is the name of the game here. 

Indeed, cellars and attics usually only require conversion as they will have the infrastructure of the property to add to. Although, bridging these spaces up to code can be costly. 

Building spaces like the prefab backyard homes, on the other hand, can be the ideal solution for anyone with additional space in their garden. The reason is that they are both beautifully crafted, and reasonably priced. Indeed, such prefab homes come with a single price, so you know exactly how much you will need to pay out at every stage of the project as you add valuable space to your property.  

Flexible living spaces. 

One of the smartest new trends in interior design that helps maximize space is to use your space for more than one defined purpose. Of course, this requires a certain amount of flexibility in the items you buy and the way that you use them. However, once you have the hang of things it gets much easier! 

A great example of this type of flexible, multifunction space is being able to use your living room as a guest suite when you have people come to stay. To achieve this you will need to choose a sofa that folds out into a bed. Be sure to have two end tables that can easily be converted into bedside storage for your guests, as well as lighting they can control once they are tucked up (smart lights work well here) and you are sorted.
