Multi-Functional Furniture
Convertible Furniture
Investing in furniture that serves multiple purposes is a game-changer in spatial efficiency. A coffee table with storage compartments or a sofa that converts into a bed can provide significant space savings. This kind of furniture allows you to keep your living areas clutter-free while still meeting all your needs.
Built-In Storage
Vertical Space Utilisation
Shelving
Use shelves to store items without taking up floor space. They're perfect for books, plants, or other decorative items and can be installed at various heights to make the most of your vertical space.
Hanging Storage
Hooks and hanging organisers can be used in the kitchen for utensils, in the bedroom for clothes, and even for plants to add some greenery. This not only frees up floor space but also makes your home feel less cramped and more organised.

Light and Colour
Light Colours
Painting walls and choosing furniture in light, neutral colours can make spaces look larger and more open. Light colours reflect light better than dark colours, enhancing the feeling of space.
Natural Light
Maximise natural light as much as possible. Use light curtains or blinds that allow plenty of sunlight to enter. Natural light can make even the smallest space feel open and airy.
Mirrors
Strategically placed mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space by reflecting light and views, tricking the eye into perceiving more space than is actually there.
Compact Kitchen Design
Choosing compact, multi-functional appliances in the kitchen can save you a lot of space. Look for appliances like a combination microwave-convection oven, which serves multiple purposes in a single unit. Another great option is a washer-dryer combo, which maximises efficiency while saving space.
Smart Technology
Space-Saving Tech
Integrating smart home technology into your granny flat can significantly save space. Wall-mounted TVs, foldable desks, and retractable power outlets are some options that help keep your home organised and clutter-free.
Energy Efficiency
Choose energy-efficient lighting and appliances. This will reduce the need for bulky power equipment and save on energy costs, making your home more sustainable.
Custom-Built Furniture
Tailored Solutions
Custom-built furniture can make the most of every nook and cranny in your relocatable granny flat. Tailor-made solutions fit the exact dimensions of your living space, ensuring no area is wasted.
Foldable and Stackable
Consider foldable and stackable furniture pieces. They're incredibly versatile and can be easily stored away when not in use, freeing up even more space in your home.
Decluttering and Organisation
Minimalist Design
Keeping interior design minimalistic is key to avoiding clutter. Focus on clean lines and simple furnishings to make your VanHome feel more open and inviting.
Organisational Tools
Use tools like drawer dividers, baskets, and labelled containers to keep everything in its place. An organised home not only looks better but also feels more spacious.
