By living in an apartment, you can use your space more efficiently and learn to keep only what you need. While this can seem challenging, there are some simple hacks you can use to keep your apartment tidy despite its size. From studios to two-bedroom apartments, these organizational tricks can make your space can feel larger. 

Have an Apartment? Ways to Optimize Storage

Find Double Function

By buying furniture that functions in two ways, you can save a significant amount of space. For example, ottomans that double as storage are a terrific addition to smaller living rooms. Nightstands with shelving and benches that open can also boost your organization. You can even repurpose existing aspects of your space, like using an old fireplace as a bookshelf. While two-bedroom apartments offer more floor space than studios, these tricks can still open up the rooms.

Use the Walls

Vertical storage is key to smaller spaces. Install shelves wherever you can to get items off the floor and onto the walls. Hang your pots and pans if possible and add an extra cabinet to your bathroom. Use a shelving unit behind your bed instead of a headboard and optimize the space on top of your fridge. These changes can make your space seem larger and less cluttered. 

Add Baskets to The Bathroom

Small bathrooms can be challenging to keep tidy, and it may seem like toiletries and makeup are always cluttering the space. This can be especially true in a two-bedroom apartment that you share with a roommate. Baskets can be a simple, overlooked solution to this problem. Instead of keeping hair products and other items on an open shelf, place them in baskets. These neat containers will add style to the shelf and make the space more organized.
