Dealing with limited space in one's home is a common challenge for many people: finding the perfect formula to deploy everything we need without creating unnecessary clutter and being able to continue living in the various rooms of the house in comfort can be challenging.

It is therefore worthwhile to look for innovative solutions to this problem - as well as to brush up on the classic options that are often overlooked. We indicate some of these below, which could be useful for those who want to organize the spaces in their homes more efficiently.

Beds that fold into the wall. These are a solution that never goes out of fashion, and in really cramped rooms, they become the only possible way of having reasonably sized bed that doesn't take up space when not in use. You need to get used to the idea of making the bed immediately after getting up, but it doesn't take long to do so.

Night corners in niches and closets: it's not a punishment like it was for Harry Potter, but this idea can very useful. In fact, if you can do this, you gain a lot of extra space in the rest of the room.

Take advantage of the walls, even in usually overlooked areas. Create bespoke solutions that fill up the wall space - even reaching the ceiling.

This solution can also be accomplished using just shelves and baskets, and can help clear the surfaces in the rest of the rooms.

Other uses for the niches and recesses in the wall: an place to take off or put on coats and shoes!

Or a miniature office!

If you need to find space at a desk to be able to use the computer, or you want to create a compact corner where to study and work, then wall-mounted folding tables, or wide shelves are an idea to consider.

No more brooms resting in the corners of the rooms or tossed haphazardly into some cabinet, or abandoned on the balcony: there are vertical, retractable storage units available which are perfect for filling the spaces between other pieces of furniture and are equipped with useful hooks.

New parents don't always have space for a room to use as a nursery, but online you can find lots of ways for creating a nursery corner in a bedroom.

Finally, never underestimate the function of partitions in large rooms where you need to create various zones: screens, glass walls, open bookcases are all ways for dividing spaces without closing them off in an oppressive way.

With a little ingenuity you can set up your home with everything you need, even if space is limited!
