cord management

Tiny houses are charming and challenging at once. There can be major space v/s utility issues. 

Here are some space-saving ideas for tiny houses:

1. Use cavities in the floor- This is a very straightforward way to create extra storage room in your tiny house. Turn the cavities in the floor into compartments. For instance, you can have an entire set of multipurpose drawers under your bed. Having drawers is also a great way to hide your tire wells while adding the much-required storage. 
2. Optimize the loft- The overhead space often goes waste. You can create dropdown storage there. It is a great way to store anything, like board games, books, and even sports gear. You can also use the loft to sneak in a TV! You could have a hidden TV lift installed in the loft. The TV can simply drop down whenever you want to watch it. When it isn’t in use, it stays completely out of sight! Either way, it’s off the floor. 
3. Go multipurpose- Another way to create room is to aim for space optimization. This includes

They are slim tables and look like an extension of the couch, but are actually cord management accessories. These tables have in-built outlets and also USB ports. The only trouble is that if used as tables, they run the risk of having liquid spilled all over them, which is totally not recommended for electrical accessories.

If you are moving into a brand new home, you’ll need to get started on home decor. And that is something that can completely overwhelm you. 

So, here’s a quick, practical guide on how to get started. 

1. Do research- Home decor is not a two-month project. It is an ongoing thing, but you need to make sure that you have the right start. For that, you need to do some solid research. Look around in stores, look online. Take pictures and screenshots of what you like. Then look for similarities in all those pictures. When you analyze them, you will notice some clear features. For example, all those pictures probably feature rooms with neutral color palettes, shiplap walls, black accents, multiple rugs in the living and dining space, or even modern furniture like storage ottomans and a hidden TV lift cabinet. Use these details to define your tastes. Find your style.
2. Declutter- Once you know the style you are looking for, start cutting down on what you have. You always need a clear workspace no
