• Invest in some space saving furniture, like a fold down futon that can double as a couch or a bed for guests. Alternatively, get a bunk bed for a room with two children, allowing them to have more floor space. Some people opt to get beds on platforms, so there is space under the bed for a work-space or play area.
• Add a work-space for your child so that your dining table doesn’t get covered with crayon, paper and pencil shavings. Consider a Murphy table that can fold down from the wall, and that can double as a chalkboard when it is up or a space to hang the folding chair that matches it. These desks take only a few hours to install and are excellent space savers, plus they’re pretty cool too!
