Living in a small space should not stop you from meticulously organizing your stuff. But what if there’s not enough storage space in your home? With the right strategies, you can surely make use of your unit’s every nook and corner by repurposing certain items as extra storage space! Here’s how:
-
Make use of your walls
Many units lack closet storage, and one way to address this issue is by using your walls as a substitute. Add a couple of hooks and open shelves as a storage space for your books, accessories, displays, and other miscellaneous items. You may also use bins and baskets on your shelves to compartmentalize your stuff.
Pegboard is another trendy storage hack people use nowadays. This technique allows you to hang your supplies like scissors, photos, kitchen utensils, etc.
-
Pull-out drawers
This technique is especially useful in the kitchen. Try to install pull-out drawers for your utensils, plates, knives, and cups. The wall storage technique also works well in this part of the house. Feel free to use hooks and shelves that you can use for all your kitchen needs! Your under-sink space could serve as extra storage space for your pans and kitchen supplies.
You can also attach pull-out drawers under your bed where you can store all your extra clothes or shoes. If that’s too much work for you, there are ready-made bed frames with pull-out drawers installed on them. This is a smart choice for those who want to save space in their bedroom and need some extra storage.
-
Clear off the floor
Clutter can be a constant battle for small spaces, but smart storage solutions are here to save the day! To create an illusion that your unit is more spacious than it is, you must keep your floor clutter-free. The technique is to use your nook and shelves instead of occupying your floor space. Gain more valuable storage space by mounting small cubes or rectangular brackets. A wall-mounted light fixture is also a more ideal choice than bulky floor lamps.
-
Create out-in-the-open storage
Aside from closed doors and drawers, you can also utilize out-in-the-open storage spaces in smaller nooks of your house. Consider grouping smaller items that blend with the style of your room and install hooks on your existing shelves that you can use for kitchen towels and other things.
-
Stack your items vertically
Utilizing vertical space, like the behind-the-door storage, is a smart choice for tight corners. Stacking items and racks vertically add height to a room, and it saves you a lot of space by occupying a smaller area than arranging your frames horizontally. A variety of slim wire baskets can do the trick and help you organize your belongings in a nook or a pegboard.
-
Loft your bed
Lastly, lofting your bed is a great way to have additional space in your unit. Use the space underneath your bed as your desk area or for your clothing racks.
Finding the perfect unit size and layout for you
Choosing the right size and layout for your unit is one of the most critical parts of the homebuying process. While you’re still at it, try to look for spacious yet affordable units to accommodate all your stuff.
You don’t have to compromise space and comfort even if you’re on a tight budget. Luckily, Empire East offers a selection of affordable units that are spacious enough to cater to all your lifestyle needs!
Available units range from executive studio, 1-Bedroom to 2-Bedroom Suites, and even Penthouse units with balconies. The good news is that choosing a bigger unit would not break the bank compared to other developments of the same size but are a bit on the pricier side.
