7 Ways to Create Space in a Busy Family Home

July 24, 2023 by Juliann

Busy family homes can quickly become cluttered and untidy. You might feel that things are messy again as soon as you’ve tidied up because you just don’t have space for everything. Here’s a look at some ways to create space, or at least the illusion of space.

Declutter Regularly

Clutter is the enemy of space, but it’s also a normal side effect of a busy family life. Decluttering is a fantastic way to create and organize the space you already have. After each declutter, try to make sure that everything you keep has a home. You may need to declutter regularly in rooms you use often to keep on top of things.

Make the Most of Your Spare Room

If you have a spare room, try to make sure it’s not just a dumping ground for clutter and old furniture. Put it to use as a guest room, office or playroom, which will free up space in the rest of your house.

Add Smart Storage

Clever storage, like shelves inside cupboards and drawer organizers, can be a fantastic way to organize and make the most of the space you already have.

Consider a Conversion

If you haven’t got a spare room and are desperate for more space, a garage conversion can be an excellent option. Few people use their garages to store vehicles, and they often end up as a dumping ground for clutter. Garage conversions can give you an extra room to use in any way you choose. With garage conversions West Yorkshire, you can create a guest room, an office, a workspace, a gym, or an occasional room with multiple uses. Speal to a West Yorkshire Garages Conversion Company like https://wygarageconversions.co.uk/ to look at your options.

Get into Good Habits

Good cleaning habits and a regular housework schedule will help you keep things clean and tidy, making your house seem more spacious, even if it isn’t really. Try to stick to a schedule, and make sure the other members of your household are helping out as much as they can. Don’t be scared to delegate tasks or give people their own chores.

Sort By Color

When we have a lot of things, and our shelves are packed, it can look disordered and messy. Organizing things like books and clothes by color can create cohesion and help a busy space look more ordered.

Embrace Space

Busy family homes get cluttered. We’re often tempted to turn any empty space into a storage area and add decorations to empty wall space. This can leave your home feeling busy and hectic. Instead of trying to fill every available space, don’t be scared to leave things blank. A piece of empty wall and a wall without shelves and other additions can help to create a more peaceful atmosphere.

Creating more space and making the most of the space that you’ve got will help you to create a more peaceful and harmonious space. It will also give you more options and help you to find things when you are in a rush in the mornings.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
