Under-Bed Storage:
Make use of the space beneath beds for storage.
Invest in bed risers or choose caravan models with built-in storage compartments. Store items like shoes, extra bedding, or seasonal clothing under the bed.
Utilise vacuum-sealed storage bags to compress clothing and bedding, maximising space in closets and drawers. This is a great hack for travelling or in a house. Grab your storage bags HERE
Foldable and Collapsible Furniture:
Opt for foldable or collapsible furniture for dining, seating, cooking, pots/pans, baskets etc. Look for innovative designs that allow furniture to be easily stored when not in use.
Multi-Functional Items:
Choose multi-functional items whenever possible. For example, a dining table that can also serve as a workspace or storage unit. Seek out kitchen gadgets with multiple uses to minimise the number of items needed. A rug that can be used as a blanket, a beach mat, a backdrop, a designated kids area. A Will and Wind Multi-Towel that can be used as a tea towel, gym towel, bath mat, car, camera, and sunnies cleaner.
Vertical Storage Solutions:
Install shelves and organisers on walls to take advantage of vertical space. Utilize hanging organisers for toiletries, shoes, and accessories. Pretty Little Designs is a travelling family with great organisers for all areas of the caravan (and home)
Will and Wind Travel Towels:
Traditional cotton towels can take up a significant amount of space. Opt for compact and quick-drying travel towels from Will and Wind. These towels are not only space-efficient but also highly absorbent and perfect for beach days, showers, or impromptu water activities.
Digital Solutions:
Minimise the need for physical books, maps, and entertainment items. Invest in e-books, digital maps, and streaming services. Use electronic organisers and apps to keep track of schedules, travel plans, and essential information.
Outdoor Storage Solutions:
Maximise exterior storage options, such as roof racks or rear-mounted storage boxes. Store items like camping gear, outdoor toys, or bulky items outside to free up internal space.
