This moisture will destroy your walls after a while and there are only a handful of things you can do. Getting more windows is definitely one of them as it reduces humidity.

5. Add bigger closets and cabinets

Here is a tip that will help you save space.

When we shop for closets and cabinets, we usually go for the ones that look nice. We make a plan where they will be positioned etc. However, as the time goes by, we figure out that we need more space.

Whenever you shop (or build) such furniture, make sure to get the biggest possible option. Even if it’s too much at the given moment, you will fill it up sooner than later. This way, you can reserve part of your home for one furniture piece instead of constantly buying new, small pieces whenever you get overcrowded.
