Maximize your inner world with our curated creative storage and design techniques to create a beautiful, practical, and comfortable ADU tailored to communicate your unique style and preference. Here are some design ideas to consider for a space-saving ADU:
An open floor plan minimizes the use of interior walls and creates a more spacious and flexible living area.
Consider combining the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a single open space to optimize functionality to make your space feel spacious, and allow for versatile furniture arrangements.
Choose furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as a sofa that can convert into a bed or a coffee table with hidden storage.
Our experts can incorporate creative storage solutions, like built-in storage, built-in closets with organization systems, or pull-out drawers beneath stairs, throughout the ADU design to minimize the need for freestanding storage units.
Choose compact and space-saving appliances for the ADU, such as slim refrigerators, stackable washer-dryer units, and space-conscious dishwashers.
Consider utilizing combination microwave ovens or under-counter appliances to free up counter space.
We can install sliding doors or pocket doors to separate rooms or close off storage areas without encroaching on the living space.
If ceiling height allows, ADU Contractors can incorporate a loft or mezzanine area to provide additional usable space, such as sleeping areas, home offices, or storage spaces, depending on your specific needs.
