Fitting your life into a tiny house is a challenge, but how about fitting an entire house of furniture into less than 100 square feet? Alaska Premier Closets in Anchorage, Alaska decided to take on the challenge after Tiny House, Big Living aired on HGTV. Their closet and storage products and services have been used for small space conversions regularly, so they took on the 96 square foot challenge and made it a part of their showroom.
“We chose 96 square feet because that’s the space we had to work with in our showroom,” Angela Pekich of Alaska Premier Closets said. “The size of the space really illustrates that you may not have the square footage, but you can still live comfortably and beautifully if you think about space in the right way.”
The tiny space contains a sleeping area with plenty of storage, a dining and work table, and a full kitchen with a dorm fridge and sink. Alaska Premier Closets uses a sustainable product for all of their storage solutions. The material is an industrial grade particleboard, finished in melamine and part of EcoElements, a collection of environmentally friendly components. The core is made of 100 percent recycled and/or recovered wood fiber. All of the material is made in Holland, Mich. one 200,000 square foot facility.
“When customers visit our showroom, whether they’re interested in a solution for a tiny space or not, we always give them a tour of our “Living Big in a Small Space”,” Angela added. “The reaction is amazing! No one can believe the size of the space and the amount of functional storage we incorporated into this small space without making it look any smaller than it is. You can see the wheels turning in their head.”
