Getting the Most of our Square Footage

We all wish we have all the money to buy a home here in the city that have enough living space. However we have to pay for square footage and it is not cheap! For people on a budget like me, we now have a choice of having enough space by living in the suburbs or staying in a smaller place in the city. If you want to enjoy the amenities and have less travel time, living in the city is the choice. If you are living in a studio or using or living room as a guest room, or a guest room doubles as your study, you don't have to live in a cramp space, the answer is multifunctional furniture and clever storage solutions.

Ironing board

To use a room in various ways, everything that is not being used at the moment should be hidden in storage but is easily accessible. Items you used once a week such as an ironing board need to be put away taking less space as possible. One solution to that is having an Household Essentials 144211 Over-the-Door Ironing Board with Steel Mesh Top. It mounts over the top of a door which is convenient in both use and  storage. When stored, it folds flat against the door. The board features a built-in iron holder. No assembly is required and no tools are required for mounting because it comes with two thicknesses of hooks to fit either a residential door or a thicker commercial door so .

If you don't want your guests to see your ironing board hanging in the inside of one of your door which might likely be your bedroom door or closet door provided you don't have the slider doors or the bi-fold closet doors, then another option is a hide away ironing board. The Hide-Away Ironing Center, White is scratch resistant, recessed, with swivel ironing board. It has raised panel door finished in white. It also has a shelf and heat shield for safe iron storage.

If you want more storage and is willing to spend more money then the Iron A Way Inc E421A Electric Built-In Ironing Center is another option. It comes with a 42'' ventilated, steel ironing board with cover and pad, hot iron storage compartment, storage shelf, garment hook, and electrical system that includes appliance outlet, On/Off indicator light and safety door switch.

If don't want to mount it in your wall and rather sacrifice one of your closet drawer instead then the Rev-A-Shelf VIB-20CR Vanity Fold-Out Ironing Boards - Wire-Chrome might better suit you.


You can also have a Fold Down Ironing Board - Pressing Perfection (Silver/Gray) (38 which mounts to wall and folds easily. It also fully extends, and swivels 90 degrees when in the open position. When stored, the space saving fold out ironing board fits into slim spaces.
 There sure are a number of ways to put your ironing board away. Gone are the days when you just .old then dump your ironing board on the bottom of your closet or lean it against the side of the cabinet, these days you can hide it in style.
