We built an 8’x20′ tiny home – we got creative with the staircase for extra storage, even the fridge fits in there
A BUILDER has gotten creative with the space in his tiny home, using the staircase in the home for storage.
There’s so much room, he was able to fit a refrigerator under the stairs.
TikToker Austin (@bluekangacrew) said he built a tiny home on top of an eight-by-20-foot trailer.
He created two TikTok videos where he highlighted the stairs.
The first step was used as a cubby hole for shoes.
“When you walk in the door you can go ahead and take your shoes off … and hide your shoes away,” he said. “Perfect for that.”
Austin then showed two more open cubby holes, located on the side of the staircase in the tiny home.
“It’s great for storing anything that you may please,” he said.
Next, there was a “pantry for all your cooking needs.”
In the taller part of the staircase, which is highlighted in the second video, was a seven-and-a-half cubic foot refrigerator with a freezer.
It’s a “good size for a tiny house,” Austin explained.
Austin said there is space at the top and bottom of the refrigerator because he took “into account all the recommended spacing.”
“We have airflow back here so that way this isn’t getting too hot,” Austin explained. “Underneath, we have a nice little storage center.”
In the largest part of the staircase was “a closet that is big enough to hang jackets, suits and dresses.”
Underneath, Austin added a cubby hole with a “convenient” laundry basket.
On his YouTube channel, Austin described himself as a “guy who just learned DIY.”
“I love working with my hands,” he added.
Austin said he spends most of his time doing “handyman projects and remodels.”
