Making space in the home is always difficult, unless you know how! Popular Mechanics have put together seven great tips than can help you with this and other complicated jobs, check them out you wont be disappointed.

1. Be Ruthless
First, move everything that’s cluttering a room into another area. Organize it into three piles: everyday must-haves, items for long-term storage and stuff you can give away.

2. Get Creative
Now, take a fresh look around. In a typical house, there’s space waiting to be tapped behind knee walls where a roof cuts through a room, above appliances and underneath cathedral ceilings.

3. Avoid Wiring and Pipes
Before opening any walls, inspect the house from the attic to the basement to see where electrical wiring, phone and data cables, air-conditioning ducts, and water and waste piping may be hiding.
