Do you often find yourself dreaming of moving to a bigger home so that you finally have space you so desperately need? But then you continue to put up with the limited space you currently have because you love your home, or simply can’t afford to upsize at the moment. Whatever the reason, you actually don’t have to move house to gain more space! There are plenty of ways you can make your current home bigger – and that doesn’t necessarily have to mean building an extension.

Before you do anything else, have a major tidy up and clear out. You will be surprised how much extra space you create just by getting rid of the things you have been hoarding and don’t really need anymore. Sort these into three piles (Related – Cost of an Extra Room).

• Straight in the bin,
• Take to the charity, and
• Sell on eBay or Craigslist

There is no point trying to make space in your home around items you don’t need.
