Storing things in a small apartment is a wholethe science. And today we have prepared another useful lesson for our readers. Its topic: 12 unexpected ways of storage that you might not know about It is quite difficult to organize convenient storage of things in a small apartment. Therefore, there are often cases when it turns out that people who complain about the lack of space simply did not know how to use it correctly. Today we will try to unleash the potential of small apartments by teaching you 12 organizational tricks. 1. Hang something large on the wall Walls can also be used for storage. And it's not just about bookshelves. Bulky items such as bicycles or musical instruments can be easily stored on the walls. It is only necessary 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 for storing anything. Moreover, 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, it is difficult to get items from the back rows (if the shelves are large). Optimize them with the help of impromptu dividers: boxes, trays or all the same wicker baskets. This way you can store more items on the shelves and make them much more convenient to use. 
4.Turn one wall into a bookcase Whether you have a large library or not. You can use bookshelves to store a wide variety of items. A rack with open shelves will "steal" much less space than closed cabinets and bedside tables and will look much more harmonious. Our opinion: - If you paint the rack in the color of the walls, it will look like a built-in module. This proven decorative technique will relieve you of the “headache” associated with the harmonious integration of furniture into the space of the room. 
five.Equip cabinet doors with shelves If your cabinets have unreasonably high or too deep shelves, you can optimize storage in them with additional shelves installed directly on the door. These ways of storing things in a small apartment will make the use of furniture more convenient and will not allow the space inside the lockers to "walk". 
6.Use hanging shoe pockets not only for their intended purpose Hanging shoe pockets are a real godsend for storing all sorts of little things. They can be hung on the inner cabinet door or simply on the bathroom wall. 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 small things. You can sew or knit a similar hanging organizer yourself. The main thing is to embody the very principle of storage. 
7.Install a rack with shelves in the shower A rack with shelves installed directly in the shower eliminates the need to place bottles of shampoos, rinses and gels in the only cabinet your bathroom is rich in. And you have more storage space for other accessories. 
eight.Get creative with your printed matter We all know the clutter of newspapers and magazines left carelessly on the coffee table, sofa, or bathroom floor. But all this printed matter can be conveniently stored, say, in a dish drainer. By the way, it will come in handy in the nursery, for storing thin books and puzzles. 
nine.Hang a perforated stove in the kitchen. Pans and other kitchen utensils, which should always be at hand, are best stored not in cupboards, but on the wall. A convenient vertical storage system is easy to arrange with a perforated plate, similar to those used in supermarkets. 
10.Use screw-top jars wisely Store dry food in the kitchen in screw-top jars. Why? They can not only be placed on the shelf, but also 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. 
eleven.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 overall organizational system. To avoid clutter, use boxes, plastic containers, or old suitcases for storage. They can be used to store bed linen, seasonal shoes and other treasures. 
12.Get used to being content with small things Properly storing things in a small apartment can unexpectedly reveal to you the potential of its modest space. Of course, you will always find something to fill wardrobes and bedside tables 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 your pet.
