Maximizing storage in an ADU requires clever design hacks that make the most of every available space. Incorporating built-in benches, stair storage, and overhead storage for pitched roofs are just a few ways to optimize functionality without sacrificing style. Laundry areas can be seamlessly integrated into closets or tucked away behind doors, while built-in bookshelves and TV units keep essentials organized and accessible. By thoughtfully utilizing these storage solutions, your ADU can remain clutter-free and efficiently designed, making even the smallest spaces feel open and inviting.
