14 smart ways to organize yourself practically in a small apartment

When living in a small apartment, it is important to use every inch of space. Every piece of wall becomes paramount, and keeping things organized, neat and pleasing to the eye becomes a challenge when you have small surfaces.

Here are 14 wonderful, adorable and practical ways to organize your small apartment:

1. Use adhesive hooks to hang several objects used in the shower



It's a great idea that is perfect for roommates or couples who have the same shower. The edge of the tub can become crowded with shampoo and body wash bottles, and this is an easy way to solve the problem while taking advantage of the vertical space.

2. Install floating shelves in an unusable corner of the room



If you have a corner in any part of the apartment and it is too small for a piece of furniture, this wonderful idea could be the perfect option for additional storage. You can create some floating shelves for your apartment yourself and they will become a great way to store books, decorative objects or a houseplant.

3. Arrange a space on the wall for kitchen objects



Take advantage of the empty space on the wall in your kitchen and attach a panel for hanging pots, pans or other utensils. This frees up a lot of closet space or gives you storage space if you don't have closets at all.

4. Place a dish rack over the sink

Lots of small apartments do not have dishwashers. Save valuable space near the sink and purchase a drying rack that sits just above the sink. The water drains into the sink and, when you're done with the dishes, can be stored.

5. Use hooks and shelves to maximize closet space

This is an extremely effective way to maximize space in a coffee cabinet. Hang tiny hooks and place a small metal or wire shelf inside the cabinet and you will automatically increase the storage space.

6. Learn how to fold and keep your shirts upright




One way to save space in a small apartment is determined by the way you store and organize your clothes. Online you can find a lot of absolutely brilliant ways to fold t-shirts, shirts or other clothing items. These modes sometimes allow you to store almost triple the amount you would make with a traditional fold.

7. Save floor space with shoe pins



Usually, the entrance to an apartment or a house is crowded with shoes, slippers, etc. A smart way to save space there
it is by hanging small hangers on the bottom and actually placing the slippers one by one on them. You will save space at the entrance to the house.

8. Use an old chest as a coffee table



Find an old chest at an antique or used store and use it as a decorative coffee table. Not only does it look amazing, but it also works as a storage for pillows, bedding or anything else that needs to be stored. A smaller chest could be used a storage bench.

9. Opt for a bed with storage space



A bed with storage space is more practical than beautiful, but as more and more people move to smaller spaces, the versatility of the design of these types of beds has become quite impressive. There are dozens of beautiful and practical models.

10. Use hanging shoe organizers to keep household products organized

You can organize your utility closet using hanging organizers normally designed for shoes. One can be used to store cleaning products, towels and sandwich bags, and in another, you can store for toilet paper and paper towels.


11. Install a shelf in the lost space above the door



Empty space above doors and ceilings is often overlooked and unused. Why not take advantage of that wall space and hang a simple shelf? This is a great way to store and display books or decor pieces, while maximizing space.

12. Hide a sliding pantry near the refrigerator



For most people, the gap between the refrigerator and the wall is just a place where dust gathers and food crumbs disappear. However, you can come up with this beautiful idea to create a mini-camera that can go in and out easily depending on when it is needed. Here you can store spices, bottles of oil, vinegar, etc.

13. Hide wheelbarrows under the sofa or bed



Wheelbarrows that easily hide under a bed or sofa. They are perfect for storing bed linen or magazines and look absolutely amazing when stored. You can find them in many shapes and sizes.

14. Use the inside of the cabinet doors as well



Again, the inside of our closet doors is an untapped space and it is too often empty and alone. Whether or not you live in a small apartment, you must make full use of the space inside the closet doors for storage. You can follow the model in the picture and keep the lids for the pot or hide your trash.

In conclusion

However, a small well-organized space will look larger and will be much more comfortable to live in than one that is crowded.
Organizing a smaller space to meet all your needs can be difficult, but not impossible.
