5 Tips for Transforming Your Space from the Experts in Netflix’s ‘Hack My Home’

Netflix’s new show Hack My Home features four design experts who bring jaw-dropping, space-saving solutions to cluttered family homes. Season one dropped last week, and it did not disappoint: From a secret trap door hidden inside a dining room table to a bed that lowers smoothly out of the ceiling, this team’s hacks are one of a kind.
If you’re fawning over the show’s transformations like us and want to channel its creativity, you’re in luck. Just in case you don’t have four design experts knocking on your door, we talked to all four Hack My Home hosts and compiled a list of their top tips for ways you can start hacking your own space.
Some of the show’s most impressive hacks utilized multifunctional furniture—think bathroom mirrors that spin to reveal extra shelf storage, or ottomans that store four dining chairs each. Mikel Welch, the show’s design expert, says that finding furniture with two to three additional uses can help homeowners maximize space and minimize clutter.
“Take a look at furniture that has multiple purposes,” says Welch. “Can that dining table or can that ottoman also convert into additional storage, where maybe you hide all the kids’ board games, and the things that you don't want your neighbors to see when they walk into your house?”
If the furniture items you want aren’t ideal for storage, it’s also smart to look for items that can fold or even recess into larger pieces, says Welch. Watch episode four for a genius homeschool hack, where the team fashions wooden chairs to slide into desks and become practically invisible—or episode eight, where a hidden, 13-square-foot island is miraculously pulled from a kitchen counter.
