Has spring cleaning left you with items you aren’t sure what to do with? Step one to organizing your home is deciding what you want versus what you no longer need. The second step is to use these small space storage tips to find your items a home within your home.
Take advantage of wall space.
Do you have items you want to show off? Need somewhere to store your book collection? Say goodbye to cluttering your floor, and don’t look to tables—capitalize on your wall space.
Wall-mounted shelves are an effective way to add storage space and let your items be easily seen. Shelves come in various sizes and colors to accommodate your needs and style.
Hang hooks.
Hooks or coat racks are a quick and functional fix for everyday storage, from coats and backpacks to purses and keys. They also help keep items such as umbrellas and dog leashes off the floor and out of a corner.
Find alternatives to closet space.
Sometimes there isn’t enough closet storage in small spaces. One of the easiest small space storage tips is to add a clothing rack or a small dresser for additional storage for your clothing or other items.
Incorporate hidden storage.
Need to store items such as shoes out of the way? Keep your space tidy with furniture featuring hidden storage, such as benches and ottomans. Not only does this add storage for specific items attractively, but it also doubles as functional furniture.
Consider movable furniture.
When it comes to small spaces, moveable furniture is a good option. For example, if you need more space for prep in your kitchen, add a moving cart or island for extra counter space and storage space for your cookware and more.
Use open storage.
Incorporate decorative boxes, baskets, jars or trays into your home décor for extra storage for small items. It adds depth to your décor and is pleasing to the eye.
Think inside the box.
Now that your everyday items and décor are covered, we ask: How should I store all my bathroom extras, cleaning supplies and other miscellaneous items? Use stackable boxes or shelves in your cabinets or under your counters to maximize your space.
