Small Living Space Solutions for Long Beach Homes

 

Unicraft_Joinery_hidden_drawer_staircase.jpgBuyers relocating to Long Beach California from various parts of the country are often dismayed at the idea of leaving their 4000 + square foot homes on acres of property for smaller homes on smaller lots here in Long Beach.  Having built up a lifetime of collections and belongings they look at our smaller spaces and often just cant wrap themselves around how to fit into these spaces.  While additional storage space is not always the answer it often helps. 

 

Beach living often means less living space.  We have smaller lots but better air, less square footage but a better quality of life. 

 

 

  • So what the heck do we do with all of our stuff? 
  • We look for wasted space in our Long Beach Homes and find ways to use it effectively. 

 

 

Closets have a lot of wasted space. Organizing closets and utilizing every square inch of space has become a necessity.  Organizational systems line the walls of our garages, our attics fill up and still we search for that elusive additional storage space. 

  

Staircases take up a lot of space, so why not use them for storage as well.  Unicraft Joinery designers have come up with an absolutely brilliant idea for unique storage in otherwise wasted space.  Imagine each step is a box with a hidden drawer in it still allowing for additional storage or home office space beneath the staircase.  

 

 

Long Beach has a lot of smaller living spaces.

 

Feel free to submit your unique use of smaller space ideas.

    That is an absolutely fabulous idea for smaller homes.  The kids would definietely have to close their drawers. :)
