Micro-homes have gained a lot of popularity in several states, and people are opting to live in a space that offers less than 300 square feet. Although they don’t provide a lot of opportunity for storage, these micro-homes offer valuable benefits.

In a micro-home, it is important to utilize space. The best way to do this is having small kitchen cabinets, wall-mounted shelves, spice racks, and drawer organizers. Space savers can make your home appear significantly larger and not give the illusion that your living quarters are limited or cluttered.
