I spent two nights in a 212-square-foot tiny home at WeeCasa, a tiny-house resort in Lyons, Colorado.
I was impressed by how WeeCasa made the most of its space throughout the tiny home.

I recently packed my bags and spent two nights at WeeCasa Tiny House Resort, which offers short-term stays in 22 tiny houses on its property in Lyons, Colorado.

I saw storage hacks left and right in my 212-square-foot rental, and by the end of my stay, I wanted to take some of these ideas home with me.

My basement at home could use some more storage, and I think underneath the staircase would be ideal for adding some custom-built cubbies.

My staircase is narrow, so a handrail that won't take up much space would be ideal.

Inside the tiny house bathroom, a wire allowed the designer to curve the curtain around the inside of the shower, adding just a bit of extra space.

My roommate and I want to add a shower rod that creates more space inside the shower, and a metal wire could do just that.

A pocket door to the bathroom took up no space when it was open but created a sense of privacy when it was closed.

My bedroom doesn't have much space for a dresser, so a slim shoe cabinet would create storage without taking up too much space
