Small
houses or apartments are often associated with lack of storage spaces. The good
news is that this challenge can easily be solved with proper storage planning
and space-saving household items. Speaking of space-saving, these collapsible
household items will be your new best friends as they can definitely help you
maximize the storage spaces in your home. Most of these items are made from
food-grade silicone which is a flexible and heat-resistant material. The thing
I like the most about collapsible household items is that they can easily be stored
when they are not in use, making your entire home clutter-free and minimalist
in look.
1. Funnel

This
might look like a menstrual cup but it’s actually a collapsible funnel that you
can fold flat when not in use. It even has a tiny hole so you can hang it up on
your kitchen cupboard.

2. Measuring Cups and Spoons

This
multi-colored silicone collapsible measuring cup and spoon set is an ultimate
kitchen drawer space saver. There is no need to worry about shallow kitchen
drawer not closing due to measuring cups unable to stack together.

3. Colander

If
you often make pasta at home, then colander is a must-have kitchen item.
However, I don’t like that it takes a large space in my kitchen cupboard. When
I found out about collapsible colander, I didn’t think twice to buy it because
it will really save me a lot of space.

I’m
not a big fan of storing basin, bucket and bath dipper (a.k.a. tabo in Tagalog) in our bathroom when
they’re not in use. Since I just normally take them out when I’m cleaning the
toilet, the collapsible version of these items is perfect for me.

5. Desk Lamp

This
collapsible lamp is one of my favorite purchases of all time as I’m the type of
person who wants my working desk to be completely clutter-free after I’m done
with my work. It’s so compact in size when collapsed that it can easily fit in
my desk cabinet. Since it’s rechargeable, it can also function as emergency
light and power bank during power outage.

This
desk fan is not only collapsible, it is also extendable so it can also function
as a stand fan. It is USB rechargeable so you can also use it during power
outage (runs up to 12 hours of operation when fully charged at the lowest fan
speed).

7. Food Storage

These
collapsible food containers are available in various colors and sizes to suit
your needs. Because they are foldable, you can easily stack as many of them in
your kitchen pantry or bring them with you at work as lunch boxes. They are
also heat-resistant so you can use them in microwave oven.

8. Pet Food & Water Bowl

If
you have several pet dogs and cats at your home, then chances are you have dedicated
pet bowls for each one of them. These collapsible pet bowls are not only
space-saver, they are also portable so you can bring them with you when taking
your pets outside. They can also double as Frisbee for your dogs when these pet
bowls are in collapsed form.

This
collapsible bath tub is a must-have item for mommies. It can be expanded in 3
different ways depending on the age of your child (e.g. infant, toddler, kid up
to 6 years of age). It also comes with an infant bath cushion and a detachable
tray to hold bathroom essentials (e.g. shampoo, soap, etc.).

I
give two thumbs up to the inventor of collapsible electric kettle. It fits
effortlessly inside the most challenging pantry storage. Not to mention, its
foldable design enables you to carry this kettle wherever you go.
