We’ve gathered here 16 easy storage ideas for small spaces that you can copy – whether that be in your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or any other space!
Finding enough place to put all your stuff when moving or living in a small home is always a challenge. You need to have your necessities but also still be able to move freely – meaning not crashing into things as you go about your way.
Fortunately, there are a few tricks that you can do to add more storage space without actually using any more space.
Back of Closet
In space-challenged bedrooms, every square inch counts. Backs of closet doors, for example, can provide a few precious inches that can be put to everyday use for wardrobe planning. Install one pole and one over-the-door hook to plan out outfits for a day or two. Oft-worn accessories or other dressing items can also be put in easy reach, thanks to narrow hooks and plastic holders.
Bathroom Sink Shelving
For those with tiny bathroom sinks but need extra storage for all their beauty essentials, adding shelves like these on the sides is the solution.
