SMART STORAGE FOR (VERY) SMALL SPACES

We all know that organizing large closets takes thought and creativity, but organizing a tiny closet (or a space that doesn’t even have one!) is basically an art form in itself! People out there rocking the studio apartment life may feel like they’re strapped for options when it comes to fitting their life into their home, but don’t start casting away your belongings just yet! Being short on room doesn’t mean you’re relegated to the world of under-bed storage and mile-high stacks of clothing. Whether you have a spacious walk-in or no more than a dresser, there’s no reason you can’t have a beautiful way to store and display your clothes. Trust me, there are elegant solutions for every problem! 

Here are my favorite tips for making the most out of every inch of space you have!

LOSE THE STACKS

It’s easy to lose track of your clothing when half of it is hidden at the bottom of a stack. Plus, the appearance of high stacks of clothing can make your space feel heavy and claustrophobic. Opting for storage that lets you hang your clothes at the same level will help you see all your options at once, and create an airy feel.

THINK BEYOND THE SHELVES

It’s no secret that I love a valet rod! They’re a subtle way to create more room for displaying your clothes, almost out of thin air. And you don’t even need a closet to make one work in your space! Check out my previous blog post on all things valet rods to explore the different options and see which is right for your needs!

GIVE EVERYTHING ITS PLACE

When you feel like you don’t have enough room, it’s easy to fall into the habit of throwing things into whatever storage you can find. Cluttered drawers will quickly put your things out of sight and out of mind, and are a waste of the precious space you do have. Drawer inserts are the perfect solution for staying organized and keeping your accessories and cosmetics streamlined and ready to use!
