Rather than let your tiny dwelling make you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput, why not scale down and combine items to gain usable space without sacrificing any functionality? Here are some great products that we found to help you get everything you need into and “out of” your functional tiny house!
1. Foldable Clothes Drying Rack Made From Renewable Bamboo
Clean laundry is one luxury that you really don’t want to live without. One great way to save space and reduce impact on your environment is to do away with automatic dryers in favor of clotheslines, but some things are too fragile for outdoor drying and clotheslines are impractical during inclement weather.
Here is a solution that makes use of “wall space” that can’t be used for many things; the back of a door! Using every space is essential in creating a functional tiny house.
2. Sturdy Wire Rack Keeps Cleaning Supplies and More Out of Your Way
Why give up precious cabinet or shelf space to keep cleaning products and tools that will be used in virtually every part of your tiny home? This wire rack makes it unnecessary and makes your supplies easily portable!
Slide it away in that one corner you were unsure what to do with and your supplies will always be handy! No more ironic clutter from cleaning supplies!
3. Door Back Mirror and Storage in One!
This one is pictured with cosmetics, but why not use it as a medicine cabinet, or for other small items? The mirror increases the usefulness and every tiny house dweller needs to look their best. Available from Amazon here.
4. Flexible Wall Mounted Storage Pockets
With hidden brackets that mount firmly to the wall these pocket storage units would be great in any house, no matter the size. Since they have no footprint and hug close to the wall, even in the tiniest of spaces you can add storage that doesn’t take up valuable living space.
They come in a variety of colors and sizes to fit any style of décor. The pockets also come off of the brackets for easy and complete cleaning. Functional tiny house storage has never looked so good!
5. High Tech Docking Station Has Built in Sound and Storage Space
This shelf with a device docking station and 40 watt, 2 speaker sound bar will fill your tiny house with quality stereo sound, while giving you some extra shelf space for a few favorite novels, or a decorator item or two.
The integrated docking station works with Ipods and Iphones, while Android users can hook up via the included Bluetooth module. It’s a functional tiny house sound system that adds storage.
6. Collapsible Dish Rack Stores Away When Not in Use
Washing dishes is a reality, even in tiny houses. Dish drainers can eat up a lot of valuable counter top space. In addition to its already compact size, this unit also collapses down to slide inside a handy drawer, or rest on almost any shelf until it’s time to wash dishes again.
7. Wall Mounted Canisters Leave Counter Space Free for Work
Every functional tiny house kitchen needs sealed storage to maintain freshness and discourage pests. A set of canisters can be bulky even on a full sized counter. With this set of three wall mounted containers, your snacks are always close at hand and easily served through the handy built-in dispensers! Available from Amazon here.
