Chains

Any vertical place is suitable for using this storage method:

  • the inside of a door,
  • a partition between windows,
  • an unused wall,
  • a hanging rod,
  • a mobile stand.

We attach a hook to the wall or door, and then you can hang a chain on it. You can buy a chain at any hardware store. This improvised hanger can accommodate a whole wardrobe on hangers.

Check out a selection of ideas for storage in a small apartment.

Organizers

It is better to use soft organizers – they are good for storing small items and knitwear. Small baskets of the same type, hung on hooks, are also suitable. If you can’t place it in a secluded place, you can make an original composition.

Be sure to look at a good selection of MK on creating storage boxes with your own hands.

Ladder

An excellent method that does not require additional investment. The ladder can be easily moved to another place. On the first tier you can store shoes and bags, and on the upper crossbars clothes and hats.

Check out the options for storing things at the dacha.

Mobile racks

Any free corner is suitable for placing such a mobile rack. There are ready-made designs on sale, but you can also make them yourself. You can make a rack with only a crossbar, or you can provide a couple of shelves and one or two poles for hangers.

Hanging rods

And don’t forget the ceiling. Attach long rods to the ceiling from any available means. Even a tree branch or a PVC pipe left over from a renovation will do. It all depends on your imagination and the volume of things. This method saves space well and does not clutter the space.

Take a look at a selection of projects in which a one-room apartment was converted into a two-room apartment.

Under the bed

We always forget about this place and it gathers dust in vain. But it can be fully used for storing out-of-season things. We distribute everything into vacuum bags and carefully place them. For bulky items, it is worth providing boxes.

Don’t forget to look at the best ways to hide a bed.

Inside a sofa or ottomans

There is almost always empty space inside. So take advantage of this and place the remains of things that you rarely use. The advantage of such an unusual storage place is that you don’t have to take up precious space.

Unused corners

There are nooks where you can’t really put anything except a vacuum cleaner or a mop. Here you can build in deep shelves or a sliding bar with hangers. The simplest and most capacious option would be to place textile storage systems at full height.

Unused niches

A place where a bed does not fit can become a great place for a spacious wardrobe. This will include modular structures, hangers, shelves – there are many options for styling a wardrobe. A small space should be freed up whenever possible.

The absence of a closet or space in it is not a problem when your imagination turns on. You just need to use any available space and approach the process creatively.
