Debi53 on Sep 27, 2016First be really honest about your stuff. The more you have, the more storage you need. If you don't love something or use it regularly, let it go. This will really help. Even think about how many towels, washcloths, pairs of jeans, socks, glasses, plates,etc. do you really need and use. After really going through everything, look at your wall space. Shelves mounted above a doorway can hold extra blankets, books, out of season items like gloves & scarves. Use pretty baskets with labels to keep them neat. Bookcases can also be used this way. Buying coordinated baskets keeps things looking neat. Use risers on kitchen shelves, plate holders, cup hooks mounted underneath shelves, etc. Use large turntables (18inches or so) on bottom shelves and smaller turntables on upper shelves. Make sure each piece of furniture earns its keep. Instead of just a coffee table, use a trunk. If you have space, use chests beside your bed instead of little night stands. Look at your wall space and under bed space. If you can, put narrow shelves at each end of your closet to hold shoes and purses. Put square shelves in the corners of your rooms. These can hold pottery, books, photos. Put and extra shower rod next to your current one in the bath. Hang clear plastic shoe bags from it to hold your bath supplies: not just shampoo, but wash cloths, makeup, hairbrushes. Look at every space: walls, corners, cabinets, drawers and look for ways to use that space more efficiently.Helpful Reply

Julie Yeary on Sep 27, 2016Organizing has to your routine. The best I can suggest is either look at tiny houses on either you tube or pinterest. Most of it will be about how to build them but you should be able to find some ideas you can transfer to your apartment.Helpful Reply
