How to Create More Space in a Single Wide Mobile Home Trailer

OK for those of us that live in a mobile home, we have no storage space. And you have to get real creative in where to store things. One morning when I could not cram a spare blanket anywhere, and I mean anywhere. I decided something had to be done. My Husband and I put our heads together and moved, stacked, installed and stored. The end result was more space. So I am going to share our tips, in creating more space in your home.

First and for most, If you have the space outside and can afford it I would recommend a storage building. You can purchase a new one, but we looked in the classifieds and found a cheap one. After securing it you can add shelves and turn it into a storage heaven.

For your closets I would suggest a closet organizer, you can buy them at any hardware store like Lowe's and home depot. I have these in all of my closets and thats where I store all my blankets and our games, family pictures ( not in albums yet) and our clothes.

Under the sink storage is available too. This helps with your shampoo's, soaps, lotions and wash cloths. And then your cleaning supplies as well. For under your bed you can buy the storage containers that are really long and slide right under the bed( a genius had to have invented this) Its perfect for extra sheets, summer/winter clothes, and if you have a food saver or equivalent then you can shrink the clothes down and have twice the storage. Trust me these are nice to have.

Organize- sit down and rearrange your kitchen first, make sure you have one place for everything. If you have duplicates of things (other than food of course) Throw or give them away, Do the same thing through out the whole house if you have not used something in 3 months or more get rid of it. By reorganizing and reducing your clutter you will have more space.
