Maximise space in a small home

Make the most of the room you have with these tidy tips

Use your walls for more than pictures. Install hooks that can hold your bike, bags or coats; try out a living plant wall; hang extra bits of furniture, like fold-up chairs; keep your stash of magazines in racks and install shelves that stretch to the ceiling to make use of every inch of space.

Choose hard-working furniture that does more than one thing. A sofa that turns into a bed; a table that can extend; a bench with hidden storage or a dressing table that functions as a WFH desk will all give you more bang for your buck.

No room for a TV unit? Mount it on the wall or try a pull-down projector instead – perfect for movie nights on the sofa.

For rooms with multiple functions, zone different areas with rugs, curtains, room dividers or different colours.

If you run out of cabinet space, a stylish kitchen trolley will give you extra storage and prep space.
