I am a single mother in a very small town who rents a tiny 300 square foot cabin from my grandparents. My daughter and I plan to live here for the next 4 years so we can save up for our own home. However, because of the size of this tiny house, there is not much room for anything. Please help with decor ideas, and possibly storage ideas as well! We are on a very tight budget. Thank you!
are the insides of the cabin logs too? if so, i would try painting it white, i know it’s a log cabin and everything, but i’ve been in one before and the darkness of the wood can get depressing. As far as storage goes…maybe have a lot of those totes, and put your stuff in there, and stack them? Also, try not to have a lot of stuff! good luck
make sure you use bright colors (egg shell white) to paint your walls it will make the space appear much bigger then it actually is. also in the kitchen you should install a bar that way you wouldn’t have to put a kitchen table in, witch would help you maximize your space.
good Luck!
That really is small! I would decorate with light coloured walls and curtains, light coloured furniture where practical and small but bright coloured things for interest. Obviously, there are some things like beds that have to be a certain size, but wherever possible, use things that are on the small side or things that have dual purposes. A love seat instead of a full size sofa, for instance. If there’s any way to have storage under the beds or inside furniture, do that. Plastic totes can be your friend here. I would have shelf units that go right to the ceiling and could hold all kinds of things. Mirrors on the walls can make a space look bigger. Get things off the floor as much as possible. Lamps that fasten to the wall or can clip onto a bookcase will save floor space, and empty floor space makes a room look bigger. If there’s a porch or you can make any sheltered area outdoors, have a shelf unit out there and put things out there that aren’t vulnerable to weather or animals. I keep plastic totes with light bulbs and extra toilet paper, for instance( I like to buy bulk but have a small house) on my back porch. Best of luck, hope those 4 years fly by.
