Living in a tiny home on wheels has become incredibly popular, but the transition can be a bit daunting. From downsizing your belongings to maximising a small living space, it’s certainly an adjustment. Luckily, with the right accessories, you can make your tiny home more comfortable and efficient. Here are some must-have accessories that can help you keep your space organised and enjoyable.
Foldable Storage
Everyone needs a place to stash their bits and bobs, and storage boxes are a fantastic solution. Even better if they’re foldable, so you can easily store them when not in use. Many department stores offer stylish options made from water hyacinth that look great on open shelving and add a touch of nature to your tiny home.
Collapsible Containers
Taming the chaos of the container cupboard can be a challenge, but collapsible containers are a game-changer. The ones from Wakatobi are perfect for tiny homes – they collapse down for easy storage and are safe for the dishwasher, microwave, oven, and freezer. Use them for packed lunches, picnics, or even as reusable takeaway containers to cut down on single-use plastics.
Deck Chairs
If you’re embracing tiny home living, you’ll likely spend a lot of time outdoors. A set of collapsible deck chairs from Temple & Webster is perfect for relaxing outside with a cup of coffee. These chairs are not only comfortable but can also be packed up easily for a trip to the beach or stored inside when it’s time to move your tiny home.
Multi-Layered Coat Hangers
If you’re struggling to part with your clothes, multi-layered coat hangers can help you maximise your wardrobe space. These hangers allow you to store multiple garments vertically, saving precious closet space. Howard’s Storage World offers a variety of options designed for shirts, pants, scarves, ties, and belts.
Pegboard Storage
Pegboards are an underrated organisational tool, ideal for hanging oddly shaped items like kitchen utensils, pots, and pans. They also work wonders in drawers or cupboards, keeping everything tidy and accessible. If you’re not up for a DIY project, So Watt offers a ready-made pegboard made from Hoop Pine plywood that will look great on any wall. Browse one of Ikea Wall storage solution
Fairy Lights
Fairy lights are perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere in your tiny home. They provide ambient lighting without taking up space and can be strung around bannisters or along the ceiling. Whether they’re battery-operated, plug-in, or solar-powered, you can find a wide variety of options at hardware and department stores.
Cable Management Box
Power cords can quickly become an eyesore in a small space. A cable management box lets you hide your power boards, with slots to organise your cords neatly. When not in use, the cords can be wrapped up and stored inside the box, which you can find at stores like Bunnings and IKEA in various designs to suit your tiny home’s style.
Foldable Stool
For those who love to entertain but lack seating space, a foldable stool might be the solution. These innovative stools can fold down to just 3cm in depth, making them easy to store. Made from recycled kraft paper, they’re surprisingly sturdy, supporting up to 300kg. It’s hard to believe a paper stool can be so functional and stylish!
Hammock
While your tiny home might be compact, the great outdoors isn’t. A hammock is a fantastic way to create a relaxing spot outside your tiny home. Whether you’ve got a deck or some sturdy trees nearby, a hammock offers a serene space to unwind. And when not in use, it takes up minimal storage space. Nakie offers a great option made from approximately 37 recycled plastic bottles!
Air Purifier
An air purifier might not be the first thing you think of, but in a tiny home, dust and allergens can accumulate quickly. An air purifier helps keep your space fresh by filtering out dust, pollen, and pet hair. IKEA offers a sleek design that can be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf, taking up minimal space while improving air quality.
