Living in a small space can feel a little…well tight. If you feel like you are in a constant state of “Where did I put that?”, you may be feeling frustrated with your space. When you have limited square footage to work with, it can be easy for clutter to creep in. Just because your space is cozy doesn’t mean it has to be cramped. Whether you are needing to maximize your closet space, find a way to store items or simply want a little more wiggle room, we’ve got you covered! Let’s dive into some space saving organizing strategies you can implement in your space.
Think Vertical
When it comes to organizing a small space, you have to think past the floor space. Look up and use that wall space to creatively store your items. This goes a long way in helping to keep the floors clear and your surfaces clutter free.
- Shelves can be installed above doors or above furniture that sits against the wall
- Hooks are perfect for hanging bags, utensils or towels
- Tall bookcases can work well to both display and store items
Double Duty Furniture
Furniture with built in storage gives you space to store with style! If you are working with less space, opt for multifunctional pieces that both serve its intended purpose and provide a secret spot to tuck things away.
- Storage ottomans for blankets, books and toys
- Beds with built-in drawers for stowing away seasonal clothing or extra bedding
- Coffee tables with compartments for magazines, remotes and other living room essentials
Hello Corners
Don’t let that valuable corner space sit empty. Let your corners shine and help you make the most of every inch of space. Corners are prime spots to help organize your small space.
- Corner shelves for displaying and storing your items
- Corner baskets for toys, blankets and other random items
- Corner desk can work great to maximize your workspace
Creative Storage
Some of the best storage solutions just need a little imagination. Think of spaces that, with the right storage solutions, can really help you take advantage of the otherwise unused space.
- Backs of doors using organizers or hooks for a variety of items
- Under the bed for linens, luggage or anything you need a little extra space for
- Decorative storage boxes can add to your decor while storing your stuff
A small space doesn’t mean you have to have clutter. All you need is a plan with a side of creativity to optimize your storage and create an organized space you will love to hang out in! Don’t forget to declutter regularly and only keep what you need and use to keep the amount of things you have to store and organize under control.
