Today, I have gathered together 21 organizing hacks for tiny homes that will help you create the perfect, well-organized, cozy space you’ve dreamed of.

A tiny home can be a huge headache when it comes to organizing and finding storage space.

1. Use a Hanging Basket to Get Extra Storage in a Cupboard

My first organizing hack for tiny homes instantly creates extra storage in a cupboard. Hanging baskets easily slip over a shelf and require no DIY skills to install.

Wire hanging baskets like these are sturdy and can hold everything from plates to cups and mugs, pantry supplies, pots and pans, glassware, plastic containers, and more.

2. Use Command Hooks on the Fridge to Hang Towels and Utensils

Everyone loves hanging pictures and trendy magnets on a fridge door, but you can make this space far more functional by using command hooks like these.

Hang up your dishcloths, towels, and aprons, and use a dollar store small hanging plastic basket to hold utensils.

3. Use your Cart to Store Small Appliances

A rolling cart becomes a valuable asset in a tiny home. This 3-tier cart holds all the homeowner’s small appliances and can be wheeled around or parked in a corner as needed.

Use your cart to save on shelf space, worktop space, cabinet space, and cupboard space, and get organized.

4. Use Foldable Bowls

My kids love a magic trick and foldable bowls always make them excited!

These food grade collapsible silicone bowls fold to less than a quarter of their original height, saving you loads of space in a tiny home cupboard.

They are also ideal for RVs, camping trips, garden picnics, beach days, and sporting events.

5. Use a Dish Rack to Organize Flip Flops

Tiny homes seldom have dedicated shoe space. A dish rack makes a great organizing hack to store your flip flops and other flat sandals.

Budget-friendly dish racks fit into a cupboard, under the bed, or onto a shelf, providing neat and functional solutions.

Ensure that the rack you buy doesn’t have raised sides so that the shoes can extend over the edges.

6. Store Living Room Items on a Sofa Organizer

Is your tiny living room cluttered with remotes, small devices, chargers, iPads, magazines, and other electronic essentials?

A fabric sofa organizer like this slips over the back of a sofa, looks neat and tidy, and instantly provides storage space for all your items.

7. Store Shoe Organizer in Any Available Nook

Don’t let those unused nooks in your tiny home turn into dust collectors.

Here’s a clever hack: Sliding shoe organizers are perfect for squeezing into small spaces, keeping your shoes off the floor and out of sight, and adding a touch of order to your cozy home.

8. Use Over the Door Shoe Organizer for Self-Care Products

In a tiny home, self-care products often end up tossed into a basket, quickly becoming jumbled chaos. Not what you want when you need to look great for that save-the-date event!

Set up an over the door shoe organizer like this and you have neat compartments for nail polish, hair brushes, accessories, cotton wool balls, wipes, creams, sunscreen, and other self-care products.

9. Save Space with a Compact Cutlery Holder

My cutlery used to take up tons of drawer space until I found these brilliant compact cutlery holders.

Check out how the ingenious design stacks the cutlery in layers, freeing up precious drawer space! The holders are easy to wash and dry, and are BPA-free.

10. Fill your Suitcase with Off-Season Clothes

Suitcases take up loads of space, so why not put them to better use? Instead of hunting for extra room for your seasonal clothing, simply pack them all into your suitcases.

I love packing my clothes the Marie Kondo way. Her method turns chaos into calm by folding clothes into neat, space-saving bundles, and her approach makes it easy to find exactly what you need, even in the tiniest of spaces.

11. Optimize Drawer Space with Dividers and Dish Racks

Do you find that your drawers are havens for clutter? I certainly do!

Dividers and dish racks quickly help you to get organized and are ideal for tiny homes. Use them to sort out pots, pans, lids, plates, cutting boards, and other kitchen essentials.

I love this innovative pegboard drawer organizer that can be adjusted to suit my specific needs.

12. Cut your Veggies On the Sink

Tiny homes do not offer the luxury of food prep space, but you can get smart with this hack.

By placing a wooden cutting board over your sink, you have an instant counter and a spacious prep area for slicing, dicing, and chopping veggies.

This is a really great way to organize your RV!

13. Use a Foldable Laundry Basket

Earlier I spoke about foldable bowls (No 4 if you missed it).

Here is another foldable hack – laundry baskets! Why should laundry baskets take up space when they are empty?

Take a look at these amazing collapsible laundry baskets – After loading up your washing machine, simply fold them into a flat disk and store them in a tiny nook in your tiny home.

14. Use Vacuum Bags to Save Space

A vacuum bag is another magical idea that literally sucks up wasted space. Pack away bulky items like towels, blankets, throws, linen, and seasonal clothing into vacuum bags.

Once the air is removed, the sealed packs become compact, dust-free, and damp-proof, keeping your belongings safe until needed.

15. Hide the Ironing Board Behind the Door

The trick about finding space in tiny homes is to think outside the box – or in this case – behind the door!

If you are tired of tripping over your ironing board, hide it behind the door until the wrinkles strike. It will be out of sight and out of mind until laundry day.

16. Use the Vertical Storage Space Above the Doors

I am blown away by the innovative ideas of tiny homeowners. Who would have thought that there is valuable storage space above a door?

Install a DIY shelf or a floating shelf and you instantly have a place for bins, baskets, boxes, books, and other space-consuming items.

Stylish black and white striped bins like these not only offer storage space but also add a cool retro feel to your tiny home.

17. Place Storage Boxes Above your Closet

After ‘Above the Doors’, I got inspired to find another ‘Above’ storage idea, and here it is! Place storage boxes above your closet to utilize the unused space.

Choose bins, baskets, or boxes that enhance the theme of your tiny home, be it mod, retro, vintage, cottage, or minimalist chic.

18. Use the Windowsills

Windowsills are prime real estate in a tiny home, perfect for displaying plants, books, or decorative pieces. Make the most of this often-overlooked space to add a touch of charm and functionality.

I am obsessed with the gorgeous bowl in this image! Here is a similar copper bowl I found on Amazon.

19. Utilize the Under Sofa Storage

Here is another innovative organizing hack for tiny homes.

Pack your items into large bags and stash them under the sofa. They will be safe, out of sight, dust-free, and ready to grab when you need them.

If you are considering setting up a tiny home and don’t yet have a sofa, be sure to look for a model that has built-in storage compartments.

20. Utilize Hooks by the Front Door

Don’t you love that feeling of arriving home and simply dumping your coat, keys, bags, scarves, and jackets? Sadly, tiny homes don’t offer this luxury!

Choose fun wall hooks and install them by the front door. You can then hang everything up before kicking off your shoes and settling down after a busy day.

How cute are these trendy ‘chair’ wall hooks? I found these cool ‘climbing the walls hooks’ and these awesome tribal Boho hooks that will enhance different decor themes.

21. Choose Bedside Tables with Storage Units

My last organizing hack for tiny homes is this – make your bedside tables work for you.

Find a design with built-in storage and clear up the clutter in your bedroom for a relaxed sleep and sweet dreams.
