Storing things in a small apartment is a wholescience. And today we have prepared another useful lesson for our readers. Its topic: 12 unexpected ways to store things that you might not know about. Organizing convenient storage of things in a small apartment is quite difficult. Therefore, it often turns out that people complaining about the lack of space simply did not manage to use it wisely. Today we will try to reveal the potential of small apartments by teaching you 12 organizational tricks. 1. Hang something large on the wall Walls can also be used for storing things. And we are not only talking about bookshelves. Large items such as bicycles or musical instruments can be stored on the walls. You just need to install a reliable fastening system.
2.Use baskets wherever possible Wicker baskets not only help organize things, they also look very stylish. They can be used anywhere and to store anything. Plus, unlike shelves and drawers, baskets are mobile.
3.Optimize Shelves Storing things on open shelves is not very convenient for three reasons: it is difficult to avoid clutter, the element of privacy disappears, and it is difficult to get items from the back rows (if the shelves are large). Optimize them with improvised dividers: boxes, trays, or the same wicker baskets. This way, you will be able to store more things on the shelves and they will become much more convenient to use.
4.Turn one of the walls into a bookshelf It doesn’t matter whether you have a large library or not. You can use bookshelves to store a variety of things. A shelving unit with open shelves will “steal” significantly less space than closed cabinets and nightstands and will look much more harmonious. Our opinion: - If you paint the shelving unit the same color as the walls, it will look like a built-in module. This proven decorative technique will eliminate the “headache” associated with the harmonious integration of furniture into the room’s space.
5.Equip cabinet doors with shelves If your cabinets have shelves that are unnecessarily high or too deep, you can optimize storage by installing additional shelves directly on the door. These methods of storing things in a small apartment will make using furniture items more convenient and will not allow the space inside the cabinets to “walk”.
6.Use hanging shoe pockets for more than just their intended purpose Hanging shoe pockets are a real find for storing all sorts of little things. They can be hung on the inside door of a closet or simply on the wall in the bathroom. These pockets are very convenient for storing household chemicals, socks and underwear, bathroom accessories, tools and much more. Our opinion: - It is not necessary to use special shoe pockets to organize little things. You can sew or knit a similar hanging organizer yourself. The main thing is to implement the storage principle itself.
7.Install a rack with shelves in the shower A rack with shelves installed directly in the shower will eliminate the need to place bottles of shampoos, rinses and gels in the only cabinet that your bathroom is “rich in”. And you will have more space to store other accessories.
8.Be creative in storing printed materials We all know what a mess newspapers and magazines create when carelessly left on a coffee table, a sofa, or the bathroom floor. But all these printed materials can be conveniently stored, say, in a dish drying rack. By the way, it will also come in handy in a child's room, for storing thin books and puzzles.
9.Hang a perforated plate in the kitchen Frying pans and other kitchen utensils that should always be at hand are best stored not in cabinets, but on the wall. A convenient vertical storage system is easy to arrange using a perforated plate, similar to those used in supermarkets.
10.Use screw-top jars wisely The best way to store dry food in the kitchen is in screw-top jars. Why? They can be placed on a shelf or hung from it. To do this, you just need to carefully screw the lids to the bottom of the kitchen cabinet, and then screw the filled jars into them.
11.Use containers, boxes or suitcases to store things under the bed If your sleeping place is not equipped with drawers, this is not a reason to exclude the space under the bed from the general organizational system. To avoid clutter, use boxes, plastic containers or old suitcases for storage. You can put bed linens, seasonal shoes and other "treasures" in them.
12.Get used to being content with little Proper storage of things in a small apartment can unexpectedly reveal the potential of its modest space. Of course, you will always find something to fill the cabinets and nightstands with, but if you sort things, get rid of unnecessary items and arrange them correctly, you may find that you have enough space to organize a workplace or a house for a pet.
