Storage Ideas for Small Spaces
Category Advice
No space? No problem! What may feel to you like no more space left, is just room needing a bit of creative thinking and shuffling around.
How can I make the best of my limited space?
The secret to storage success is utilisation! We've come up with a couple of ways you can utilise the space you already have, to its full potential:
Shelf dividers
This is the perfect tip for studio-livers. Use this innovative solution to not only divide your bedroom from your living space, but gain a wall of storage! Stack crates, or even pop an open shelving unit in the middle of the room to give yourself a place to pack things away, while getting room division.
Kitchen island with storage space
Don't have much space to work in the kitchen, but also don't have anywhere to put the rest of your kitchen essentials? Invest in an island that doubles as storage space! Don't waste all that space on just a table when you can have all those extra built-in cupboards.
Convertible furniture
You can't afford single-use furniture when you're desperate to save space! Rather, opt for pieces that can be used in more than one way. One of the most useful kinds of convertible furniture are tables. A leaf drop table for instance, can be used as a desk or a dining room table, depending on how it's set up.
Use Vertical Space
Most people only make use of horizontal space, and forget to stack up! Pop some storage pockets behind your doors or use floating shelves to store small things that might otherwise just clutter floors and cupboards. Shoes can easily be stored vertically behind a door, or place your heels on a ladder if you're feeling creative with your space!
Hutch Bed
Your bed takes up a massive space in your bedroom, why not use the space underneath and behind it too? Either get a bed that comes with built-in drawers underneath it, or use neat storage-holders that can slide in and out for easy access. Instead of a simple headboard, get a furniture piece that can duo as a headboard with cupboards and shelves for your books and other bits and bobs.
