As the most respected and valued manufactured home construction company, we know the characteristics of those seeking manufactured homes. We know that most of you are purposefully looking for comparatively small home footprints, yet are unwilling to sacrifice comfort, style, or functionality. We don’t just build super high quality and value based homes, we help guide maximized utility of the home that we build.
With well thought out storage strategies, small footprint homes can be wonderfully spacious and stress-free. At Morgantown’s Paradise Homes, we take professional reward in helping our homeowners make the most of every square foot. Here are some smart and simple storage strategies that our customers use to maximize their manufactured home’s efficiency.
When floor space is limited, look up. Vertical storage is a game-changer in compact spaces. Consider installing tall shelves, wall-mounted cabinets, or hanging racks in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Over-the-door organizers are also perfect for storing shoes, toiletries, or cleaning supplies without taking up valuable square footage.
Every piece of furniture should earn its keep. Opt for beds with built-in drawers, ottomans that double as storage bins, and kitchen islands with shelving underneath. Fold-out desks or wall-mounted tables can give you a workspace without permanently occupying a room.
Look for opportunities in places that often go ignored. Under the bed, beneath the stairs, above doorways, and even the space between appliances can all be used for hidden storage. Slide-out bins, vacuum-sealed bags, and custom shelving can help you make the most of these tricky areas.
Closets in manufactured homes can be smaller than those within other home floor plans, however, manufactured home closets can be highly efficient. Add tiered hangers, adjustable shelving, and hanging organizers to double or triple your closet’s capacity. Label storage bins to keep seasonal clothing and accessories tidy and accessible.
One of the best ways to stay organized in a small space is to keep only what you truly use and love. Make it a habit to declutter a little at a time—rotate seasonal items, donate unused clothing, and keep surfaces clear to create a sense of openness.
At Paradise Homes, we believe that manufactured homes can be just as beautiful and functional as any site-built house. With thoughtful design and smart storage solutions, small-space living becomes not only practical—but enjoyable.
