Living in a smaller home with a growing family doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice function—or style. As a family of four in a 1300 square foot home, we’ve learned how to make every inch count without feeling cramped or cluttered. It’s taken some trial and error, but over the years we’ve picked up a few space-saving tricks that help our home feel organized, calm, and truly lived in.
In this video, I’m taking you room by room and sharing our best strategies to maximize space while keeping things kid-friendly and functional. From swapping out bulky furniture for vertical solutions to using underbed space like a hidden closet, these simple changes have made a huge difference in how our home works for us—not against us.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll see in the video:
- Go Vertical: We traded in wide, horizontal dressers for tall wardrobes that give us more floor space (and honestly, way more storage).
- Hidden Gold: Underbed storage bins keep off-season clothes, toys, and extras out of sight but easily accessible.
- Closet Glow-Up: A few shelf and rod adjustments made our closets way more usable—and less chaotic.
- Double-Duty Furniture: Ottomans, benches, and even our coffee table pull double duty with hidden storage inside.
Whether you’re in a starter home, apartment, or just want to simplify your space, I hope this gives you a few fresh ideas that make home life feel just a little easier.
