There are numerous perks to living in an apartment. However, considerable space isn’t one of them. Living in a small space doesn’t imply that you have to settle for less.

Rather, you have to make smart choices when organizing your space. In turn, you’ll have as much functional storage area owing to efficient storage solutions.

You’ll discover that the storage of items such as clothes, bikes, and shoes can prove challenging in small living areas. Nevertheless, if you are seeking tips on how to maximize on space, check this out.

Bikes

For numerous people, a bike is a treasured possession. After using it, whether for work, daily exercise, or social outing, numerous cyclists keep them indoors for safekeeping.

Bike storage can be particularly tricky if you reside in a small apartment. When you lack space, even your bike can be an obstacle.

However, there are various spots for bike storage including the balcony, which is a perfect spot since it doesn’t interfere with your living space. However, this spot is favorable if the balcony’s covered.

Another option is the wall. You could get a unique mount that will get your bicycle off the floor. Ensure you follow the instructions and use a stud, so it can support your bike’s weight.

Pots and Pans

The storage of pans and pots can be especially challenging because of their bulk and size. A number of people have a difficult time finding the right pan or pot; this usually involves a lot of banging and clanging.

You should store them in a manner that permits easy accessibility. You should determine whether you want hidden or visible cookware.

You should consider a pot rack if you prefer visible cookware. You could suspend the pot rack over a peninsula or island.

Ensure the pot rack is at the appropriate level. Another option involves arranging the pans and pots on the wall.

Linear racks are ideal for this option; they enable easy accessibility. You could also hang these items on your kitchen window or pegboard.

Shoes

Shoes tend to be clunky besides having awkward shapes. While you could throw them under the bed or the closet, some organization would make things easier while de-cluttering your space.

Capitalize on the space you have by stacking storage boxes under your clothes, enabling shoe storage. Ensure the containers are clear, so you can spot your shoes easily.

Another option involves shoe racks that feature adjustable shelves. You can categorize your shoes according to height.

Another storage solution comprises a shallow cabinet in your entryway or bedroom. Alternatively, you could consider storage drawers underneath your bed.

Jewelry

Jewelry can turn into a big mess, especially when you don’t know how to handle them. One storage solution involves hanging your jewelry on the wall with thumbtacks.

Alternatively, you could place them on a bulletin board to prevent holes in your wall. Use wrapping paper or wallpaper to cover the board; this enhances its appearance.

You could also consider jewelry armoires, which are ideal for tight spaces. Select one that will mount on the wall or hang over your door.

These options are particularly beneficial in homes that lack additional floor space. This choice is great when you are seeking a dual-functioning storage solution that will function as a mirror and hide clutter.

If your collection doesn’t require a lot of room, you could opt for wall-mounted organizers.

Clothes

Organizing your closet can be challenging particularly when attempting to store many items. Nevertheless, certain strategies can facilitate streamlining.

These strategies include clothing racks, which offer a great means for displaying your clothes in an orderly manner.

You could also use baskets of varying sizes and shapes. They fit under beds or nightstands and are perfect storage spots for small spaces. They function as storage areas for socks, accessories, and other small items.
