Regardless of the size of your home, good organization is the key to making any home look tidier and help you relax better.

Check out the 5 organization ideas below (inspired by dealing with small homes but which, in reality, can be adapted to any type of home):

1 - Foldaway bed

A foldaway bed is an ingenious solution for maximizing space in any home. This type of bed - typically folding into a wall or "hiding" inside a piece of furniture - frees up precious space during the day, transforming a bedroom into a multifunctional area.

This solution not only optimizes the management of small spaces, but also allows you to set up an office, a hobby room or a relaxation area in the same place where you sleep.

2 - Storage bench

A storage bench is another brilliant example of how ideas from studying small homes can be successfully transferred to any type of house. Functional and versatile, these benches combine seating capacity and storage space in one piece of furniture.

Placed in the entryway, living room or even the bedroom, a storage bench gives you a place to sit while "hiding away" everyday, bulky items such as shoes, books, toys, sheets, blankets, pillows and much, much more.

3 - Vacuum storage bags

Vacuum storage bags allow you to significantly reduce the volume of bulky items such as clothes, blankets, duvets and pillows, freeing up valuable space in your closets.

Vacuum bag storing is particularly handy for storing away off-season clothes/outfits (and similar seasonal items).

4 - Extendable console table

An extendable side table is another useful piece of furniture to have: compact when collapsed, it can be extended to accommodate your guests whenever needed. When not in use, it can be collapsed down to free up living space.

5 - Storage bed

A storage bed is another ingenious solution that any home can take advantage of. This type of bed - equipped with large drawers or an open space under the mattress - allows for the storage of various objects: bed linen, off-season clothes, books, rarely used items, etc.

Using one or more of these space-saving solutions, you can be certain that you will improve your home no end - and enchance your enjoyment of living in it.
