How to Furnish Your Accessory Dwelling Unit

If you have a large property, then you most likely have an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Homeowners tend to build ADUs since they can be used an additional source of income through rental without having to sacrifice any of the rooms in their home. It’s also a great way to accommodate aging parents if ever they fall ill or if they still want to remain with their adult children. Basically, an ADU is a great option if you want your extended family to stay with you. 

Here’s how you can furnish your ADU.

Focus on Dual-Purpose Living

It’s important to focus on furniture or pieces that will help your ADU serve multiple functions. A few examples of these furniture include a bedside table that also features a bookcase or a bed frame with an extra storage space with drawers beneath it. The ability to maximize your ADU allows you to keep it clean and organized for as long as possible. It will also make it look bigger due to less clutter and floor area consumed. It’s also a great idea to get a table that folds out from the wall rather than a dining area since it could consume too much space.

Embrace Wall Space

When compared to larger homes, your ADUs walls are highly utilized. Your home remodeling contractors will tell you that mounting furniture to the wall can maximize space and reduce clutter. For instance, you can get a wall mount for your flat screen television rather than a traditional leg mount that can consume valuable floor space.

Pick Light Colors

Remember that light colors can help make rooms feel more spacious and less crowded. These subtle touches are even more important for smaller ADUs to make them feel and look as big as possible. You can use cream or pastel colors, and you can even use mirrors to your advantage.
