When you move into a smaller space, it can be challenging to fit in the furniture and accessories you need. But living in small units does not mean you need to sacrifice organization and convenience or reduce your quality of life. Here are some ways you can increase storage in your apartment and use every space more efficiently.

3 Items that Help Increase Storage in Your Apartment

1. Kitchen Pegboards

There are endless ways to use a pegboard to organize your kitchen. You can attach one on the wall and use it to hang pots and pans. You can even hang colorful baskets and use these to store small tools. You can also use the pegboards in your drawers to keep your plates and bowls in neat piles. 

2. Floor-to-Ceiling Shelves

You can upgrade dull or blank walls in your apartments by installing floor-to-ceiling shelves. Apart from enhancing your space, they also provide ample storage for your prized possessions. Display your artwork, sculptures, books, photos, awards, and travel memorabilia. Add a bit more personal touch by painting it with your favorite color. 

3. Packing Cubes

You may be using packing cubes during your trips to keep your clothes and accessories compact and organized. But you can also use these at home. Put your spare sheets, seasonal clothes, and rarely-used accessories in packing cubes and slide these under your bed. When storing clothes, consider rolling instead of folding these to minimize creases. Also, keep them smelling fresh by putting a fabric softener sheet in each cube.
