Space Saving Ideas for your Long Beach Homes

Small Living Space Soutions for Long Beach Homes

Hidden Rooms

Space Savers or Hidden Secrets?

Down here at the beach we trade square footage for beach living and ocean breezes. But what do we do with all of our stuff? Lifetime collections of photos, books and other treasured belongings, that we are just not prepared to part with, need a place in our new homes as well.

Hidden Closet with Bookcase

Small spaces are a challenge when we downsize our lives. Creative use of our space without feeling cluttered and oppressive becomes a mission. Creative Home Engineering, a Tempe Arizona company specializing in hidden passageways may have solved some of these issues.

Under Staircase Storage

What a great way to expand space, furnish our homes and create hidden storage spaces! When your square footage is limited every found space becomes critical. Living in small spaces certainly has its challenges and rewards. A small mess in a large home is a huge mess in small space. One needs to be a neat freak in small spaces. Creative Home Engineering is providing several wonderful solutions.

Hall Closet Storage and Safe

Have you been wondering where to hide a safe in your home? Take an unsightly hall closet and convert it to a hidden safe and a wonderfully elegent storage cabinet.

Discrete Hiding Places

Looking for a safe and discrete hiding place for those things that should never be found by others? Lovely and elegant built in's hide your most private possessions very nicely.

While we have many larger homes in Long Beach, many of the homes here are of the smaller cottage genre. Small living space ideas are in demand, we are pleased to be able to provide some solutions.

Good Morning Laurie,
It has been a year since we met at the Del Mar event. Wanted to say hello and thank you for a marvelous article. With many overcoming a challenge for storage and making it's access unique, this post is a creative reminder that anything is possible. I love the ideas expressed and here and it adds that wonderful surprise element that any homeowner would love and Buyers would find as yet another reason to want to own it. I had seen an application like this used in an elaborate property recently where the wall with a bathroom door was concealed as part of the built in bookcase. What a delightful surprise to have a set of the 3 books on the shelf set as the mechanism for opening the door. Push the books back and the door opens.
Your article is an inspiration for that those that might consider such a wonderful feature in a home.

Hi William,

Nice to see you here, it has been a long time. We all should plan another Southern California get together, I really enjoyed our day at Del-Mar, it is such a nice place to spend an afternoon with great company.

I am enthralled with the ideas put forth by Creative Home Engineering and the varied applications for their ever so interesting product

Imagine a long, plain, boring hallway brought to life with great flooring, interesting color choices, the right lighting and bookcases and/or armoires instead of an endless row of doors; a great application for storage closet doors. Hallways are rarely thought of when homes are being remodeled or decorated. Some of the most interesting homes I have viewed were interesting because of the unique, appealing and original ideas put into them.

With a bit of creativity, these ideas can help make a plain home quite interesting. Would love to hear from anybody who has done something like this, would really love to see some pictures. If anybody has any please email them with permission to post them here, it's nice to share.

Laurie
