What are some storage solutions for small apartments?

- Utilize vertical space: Install shelves or floating shelves on walls to maximize storage capacity without taking up valuable floor space.
- Opt for multifunctional furniture: Look for furniture pieces that can serve multiple purposes, such as ottomans or coffee tables with built-in storage, beds with underneath storage drawers, or sofas with hidden compartments.
- Add storage under the stairs: If your apartment has stairs, utilize the space underneath by installing drawers, shelves, or cabinets.
- Use vacuum-sealed bags for seasonal clothing: Maximize closet space by storing seasonal clothing in vacuum-sealed bags, which compress items and reduce their size.
- Use storage ottomans and baskets: Use ottomans with hidden storage or decorative baskets to store items such as blankets, extra pillows, or magazines.
- Hang organizers on the back of doors: Install over-the-door hooks, racks, or organizers to store items like shoes, handbags, or cleaning supplies.
- Maximize closet space: Utilize closet organizers, hanging shelves, or shoe organizers to make the most of your small closet space.
- Utilize under-bed storage: Use under-bed storage containers or rolling drawers to store items like linens, off-season clothing, or shoes.
- Use transparent storage containers: Opt for transparent storage containers so you can easily see what's inside without the need to open each one.
- Consider investing in freestanding wardrobes or armoires if you lack closet space: Freestanding wardrobes and armoires can provide additional storage space for clothing, accessories, or household supplies.
