I didn't have enough storage in my tiny bedroom so I turned an alcove into a DIY closet – it tripled my storage space and cost 90% less than a built-in

IKEA bedroom with wooden wardrobe.

Space was always going to be tight in my apartment. I live in an expensive city, where money doesn't go far, but I was so grateful to be able to buy my tiny home, that I was willing to make the small proportions work.

The open plan living room and kitchen doesn't feel crowded but the tiny bedroom was a whole other story. It didn't have the space to handle any bulky furniture beyond my bed and dresser leaving me without a closet.
