If you aren’t naturally inclined to think outside the box and you don't know where to begin, these are great tips for residents who live in Chico rental properties. ## More Space in the Kitchen It's so easy to run out of space in the [kitchen](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/5-ways-to-rescue-a-rental-property-kitchen). One of the easiest ways to make more room in your kitchen is to utilize the inside of the cabinets, cabinet doors, walls and so much more than you do right now. It may *seem* like you're using the space to its full potential, but take a look at [these ideas](http://www.buzzfeed.com/twopoodles/lifehacks-for-your-tiny-kitchen#.oud0V31M6) to see if there's something you haven’t thought of. ## More Space in the Closet Large closets can seem hard to come by in Chico rental properties, but most of the time the closets seem smaller than they really are because we just throw our shoes, clothes and other random items inside. To get a few ideas for inexpensive ways to utilize your close space better, [click here](http://www.buzzfeed.com/twopoodles/hacks-for-your-tiny-closet#.pfX1V60JL5). ## More Space in the Bedroom Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. If you have a roommate it may be the only space you actually have to yourself. If you share a bedroom, it can be even more difficult to try to create more space. But don't lose sleep over it! [Click here](http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/small-bedroom-ideas-the-5-smartest-ways-to-get-more-storage-in-your-sleep-space-207910) to get tips on creating more space in your bedroom. ## More Space in the Living Room The [living room](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/3-ways-to-rescue-a-rental-property-living-room) is a common place to relax and hangout with your friends and family. This means that it also requires more furniture (or at least comfortable seating arrangements) for visitors. One of the easiest ways to get more space out of this room is to purchase furniture that has multi-functionality. Or if you can’t afford to purchase new furniture, you can learn to [convert your current furniture](https://listotic.com/unusual-furniture-hacks/2/) to do the same thing.  [Click here](http://www.bhg.com/decorating/storage/organization-basics/living-room-storage-furniture/#page=1) to get a few ideas about how you can use furniture to also be storage.
