On Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Darren Keefe works with the design team to helped families in cramped, dated quarters start fresh in new homes.

Many of these homes reflect tips and tricks that anyone living in small spaces can benefit from.

Darren is at the Salt Lake Home Show to share a few tips for small space living:

1. Built-ins. It's a great tip for adding storage space without losing space in the home. It also can be a fun DIY project, if you're capable and want to tackle something new.

2. Use Custom Room Dividers. Not only do dividers create a sense of separate spaces, but dividers can also provide more built-in storage. It's a great way to individualize space, especially if you have one room and you have two children or even two roommates.

3. Install Wall Desks. If you need a work-from-home office, simply use a blank wall and install a desk.
