Clever Storage Ideas for Small Living Quarters

(Part Two)

Yesterday, I shared five creative ways to live more organized and comfortably in a small space, and today I'm sharing five more. Here goes...

6. Think Double Duty: We all know that in small living quarters, space is a precious commodity. That's why, when we shop, it's great to look for items that do double-duty at minimum...or triple duty or more.

For instance, instead of a coffee table, consider an ottoman that has storage for blankets and quilts. Ottomans also double as extra guest seating when needed.

Instead of a bedside table, get a beside cabinet with storage.

Instead of a bed for your guest room, consider a sofa with a pull-out bed option (a sleeper sofa) for those rare occasions when you have overnight company.

Instead of a simple bench used as a helper that you sit on when putting on or taking off shoes, get a bench with storage inside for your shoes.

7. Mount It: Television sets take up a lot of room. Consider mounting your flat screen TV to the wall.

You can also install shelving around the television to hold components and to store other items.

8. Hooked on Hooks: Hooks are very functional for storage and can be used in any room.

You can use them in the kitchen, either by themselves or in combination with a peg board, to hold everything from utensils to cookware.

They can be used in the bathroom for hanging towels or robes.

You can use hooks in the entryway to hang jackets, tote bags, umbrellas, and hats.

By the way, Command Strip hooks are preferred in apartments and dorm rooms because they don't leave a hole behind when you want to remove them.

9. Bathroom Storage: In small homes, storage space in the bathroom may seem non-existent. But you can often "make space."

A free-standing shelf that fits over your toilet may add just the storage space you need.

A hanging shoe organizer. can be hung over your bathroom door to hold shampoos, body wash, shaving supplies, and so on.

A narrow cabinet may be just what you need to store extra toilet paper, towels, and cleaning supplies.

10. No Linen Closet? No problem! Almost everyone uses a traditional mattress and box spring for sleeping. Under that bed is some great storage space.

You can purchase bed risers to add additional inches of height under your bed.

Use under-bed storage containers to hold linens, towels, and out-of-season clothing.

Bulky comforters can be placed in vacuum bags to reduce the bulk and put in a storage container under the bed also.

"My wife recommended your newsletter to me, and I'm so glad she did. Since I began reading your ezine only two months ago, I've organized my office space and the garage. I'm moving on to the basement next...a huge undertaking. Thank you for your help!"
