Cozy Quarters: Tips for Sharing a Small Place with Kids in Alaska

Here in the wild and wonderful world of Alaska adventure awaits around every corner. It doesn’t matter if you’re nestled in a cabin in the woods or enjoying the urban bustle of Anchorage, one thing is certain: space can be a premium commodity, especially when you’re sharing it with little adventurers. Fear not, though, because with a few tricks up your sleeve, you can turn your compact abode into a haven for both you and your kids.

Invest in tall bookshelves, wall-mounted storage bins, and hanging organizers to make the most of your vertical space. Not only does this free up valuable floor space for playtime, but it also keeps clutter at bay.

Dual-Purpose Furniture: When every square foot counts, dual-purpose furniture is your best friend.

These pieces not only save space but also add functionality to your home.
