BLOG Maximizing Space in Rural Properties: Tips and Tricks Oct 12, 2024

Have you recently purchased a rural property and want to make the most of the space available? Countryside Buildings is here to help you maximize your rural property and turn it into the ultimate country retreat. From construction to remodeling, our expert team can help you make the best use of your space with these tips and tricks.

1. Multi-Purpose Rooms: Consider combining rooms to create multi-functional spaces. For example, a guest room can double as a home office with the addition of a desk and bookshelves. This will help you save space and make your home feel more open and airy.

2. Custom Storage Solutions: Storage space is often at a premium in rural properties, so it's important to make the most of every nook and cranny. Invest in custom storage solutions such as built-in shelving, under-bed storage, and overhead cabinets to maximize space and keep your home organized.

3. Outdoor Living Areas: Don't forget to make use of the outdoor space on your rural property. Create cozy seating areas, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits to extend your living space beyond the walls of your home. This will not only maximize your space but also allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings.

4. Open Floor Plans: Consider opening up your floor plan to create a more spacious and light-filled home. Knocking down walls to create an open living, dining, and kitchen area can make your home feel larger and more welcoming. This is especially beneficial for rural properties where natural light is abundant.

5. Utilize Vertical Space: When space is limited, think vertically. Install floor-to-ceiling shelving units, hanging baskets, and wall-mounted hooks to make the most of your vertical space. This will help you keep clutter off the floor and make your home feel more spacious.

6. Add a Loft: If you have high ceilings, consider adding a loft to create additional living space. Lofts are perfect for guest bedrooms, home offices, or cozy reading nooks. This will not only maximize your floor space but also add a unique design element to your home.

7. Built-In Furniture: Opt for built-in furniture such as banquettes, window seats, and Murphy beds to save space and add functionality to your home. Built-in furniture can be customized to fit your space perfectly and can help you make the most of awkward corners and tight spaces.

With these tips and tricks, you can make the most of the space available in your rural property and create a comfortable and functional home.
