Sneaky Ways to Save Space at the Cabin
When you’re designing your dream retreat or renovating an old one that’s been in your family for generations, one of the toughest questions you will face is “How much space do we really need?” Well, here are some clever ways to cut corners, make room, or otherwise get space back from your getaway. Hopefully one of these ideas will inspire you, and your cabin guests will exclaim, “Aha!” when they see how savvy you are.
Stair Drawers
Space under a stairway can often be made into storage in the form of a closet or shelves, but why not just make the stairs into storage themselves? Add as many drawers as you think you’ll need to store shoes, towels, linens, extra bathing suits, or whatever is making your getaway cluttered. The stairs in this photo are made from blackbutt timber (an Australian hardwood). Find a good carpenter, and he/she should be able to help you add these to your retreat.
