Mobile homes are ideal if you're looking for affordable housing options. However, they're often compact, without a lot of excess storage space. As such, you'll need to get creative if you want to maintain organized and tidy living areas. Here's how you can make the most of the available space while keeping your belongings in order.

How to Organize Your Mobile Home

1. Under-Bed Storage

Beds take up quite a bit of floor space, but each one provides about six inches beneath it to store items you don't use frequently. You can buy flat plastic storage boxes at any home goods store. 

These containers slide in and out easily from under the bed frame and let you organize clothes, linens, and additional belongings that don't have other dedicated storage spaces. Choose boxes with transparent lids that let you see what's inside so that you don't have to open multiple ones to find what you need.

2. Closet Organizers

These features have numerous compartments with shelves, drawers, and hanger bars for storing clothes, shoes, jackets, and other items. They utilize nearly every inch of horizontal and vertical space so that you can fit several belongings inside the closet without having to stack items precariously on top of each other. Some are freestanding, while others hang from a mounted clothing or tension bar. 

3. Slimline Pantry

Many kitchens have space beside the refrigerator to install a slimline pantry. This shallow, fridge-high shelving unit is deep enough to hold canned goods, coffee cans, and cereal boxes. That way, these items don't take up scarce cabinet space. Some people mount their narrow pantry on wheels so that it can slide in and out for easier access.
