Clever Storage Ideas for Homes That Feel Too Small

By The Handy Tips and Tricks Team · in Home & Garden

Use the space you are ignoring

Go vertical: shelves up high, hooks on the backs of doors, and tall narrow units use the space above eye level that most rooms waste. Look for the dead zones, under the bed, the gap above cupboards, the back of a closet door, and put them to work.

Choose furniture that does two jobs: an ottoman that opens for storage, a bed with drawers underneath, a bench with shelves. And be ruthless about clear surfaces, since an uncluttered counter or table instantly makes the whole room breathe.
