Today's article is dedicated to those who have at least oncefaced the problem of limited storage space. After all, ideally it should be not only convenient, but also attractive. For those who do not know where to start, we have prepared 10 creative solutions: both simple and quite unexpected.
1. Shelves on the stairs
There are several original ideas forusing the stairs as storage space. If the stairs are wide enough, you can use the edge of the steps for small shelves where you can place shoes, accessories, or even books and photo albums.
2. Open shelves with identical containers.
This solution not only looks fantastic,but also allows the rack to be as capacious as possible if its height is from the floor to the ceiling, and the containers are selected exactly according to the size of the shelves. Details play an important role in this case. Considering the fact that all the boxes are the same, it is important to take care of their marking and sequence in advance. For example, you can mark their contents by sticking small photographs, labels or pieces of paper with inscriptions on each.
3. Mini-library

However, a cabinet correctly selected in size and appearance can accommodate everything you need: from dishes to textiles, unlike, for example, a table - when placing it in this area.
