I hired an interior designer for my tiny home, even though it's temporary. She helped me make the space more functional.
I'm living in my parents' converted garage. My home is tiny, so I hired an interior designer to help me make it more functional.
The author resides in a 150-square-foot converted garage, formerly her parents' home. Seeking assistance to make the limited space functional, she hired interior designer Alex Pevtsova. Despite initial skepticism, Pevtsova evaluated the existing layout and proposed storage solutions that improved the room's organization. They focused on creating dedicated spaces for personal items, paperwork, and tools.
After selecting budget-friendly options, including a $650 wardrobe from Ikea and a $120 cube storage unit from Amazon, the author invested $375 in the mini redesign. The designer's guidance proved invaluable, helping the author build the wardrobe and declutter the space. While the project took longer than expected, the author now feels more organized and content in her confined living environment.
