Home organization is quite the cathartic exercise. You give everything a place to belong to, its own designated space that has optional functionality and doesn’t create clutter. Sounds like a dream, but it can also become your reality with these simple space-saving ideas.

#Custom Pull-Outs

Convenience is key in a small space. That’s why many designers recommend adding some custom pull-outs around the home, especially in the kitchen. This way hard to reach items are still put away, yet accessible. You can add some pull-outs as replacements for kitchen shelving, but you can also add pull-outs in the wardrobe, as well as the bathroom.

#The Back of Doors

Most spaces, small or big, have plenty of doors. So, take advantage of that space. Utilize the backsides of doors to help you organize your space. You can hand organizers there and use them for extra shoe space, spice storage, and even for vertical gardening. You can also use the backside of cabinets, both in the kitchen and bathroom.

#Shelves

We know you are probably sick of hearing about shelves for small spaces, but they truly are a great way to utilize the vertical space and add some storage for your little trinkets. You can put shelves in pretty much any room in the home and place whatever you like – from books to toilet paper. There are many shelf designs which means they can easily fit in with any home aesthetic.

#Under The Bed

If you are tight on bedroom space, don’t let all that unused space under the bed go to waste! Take some shallow bins, baskets, or boxes that can easily slide under your bed frame. You can store books, socks, shoes, out-of-season clothes, and in general, whatever your heart desires. Just make sure to utilize this hidden space. You can also switch to a storage bed.

#Vertical Shelving

While horizontal shelving is more commonly used on walls, cabinets, and drawers, there are some instances in which vertical division through shelving will make much better use of the space. This is especially true for spaces like hall closets, linen closets, utility closets, and so on. Through vertical shelving, you can store tall items such as ironing boards, mops, vacuums, and brooms all behind closed doors. They won’t fall into each other, tangle, or get in your way.

#Storage Decor

Decorate smart and use decor items that can double as storage. Nowadays, there are plenty of storage items on the market that aren’t just gray, beige, and black plastic containers. You can find beautiful woven baskets, and containers in fun colors, and patterns that can easily fit in with your home’s aesthetic.

#Declutter Often

Too many items create clutter. This means that in order for your small space to have as much room as possible, you need to stay on top of your decluttering. Make sure you make at least a monthly decluttering plan and get rid of items you don’t need. This doesn’t mean throwing away your whole closet, but more like expired products, overlapping items, broken utensils, and so on.
