Storage space in an apartment is not always adequate for each individual tenant's needs. Many homes are built with ample basements and attic space which can often help in your storage situation, but most apartments do not have those conveniences. By creating space-efficient storage areas in your apartment, your storage problem can be eliminated.
Start by walking through your apartment and eliminating any items that you do not need or use. Keep the storage areas most accessible open for storing those items most frequently needed. In your clothes closets follow the golden closet rule "if you haven't worn something in the last two years now is the time to get rid of it."
Many apartments will not permit you to install anything into the walls of your apartment. You may think that your storage space has ended there. Free-standing units can easily be installed into any existing closet without touching the walls. Your storage space can be endless with custom-designed freestanding units. When you move, these can go with you. Hanging areas, drawer space, shelf space, and enclosed storage spaces are only a few examples of the space that can be achieved.
Organizing your kitchen and bathroom cabinets with pull-out cabinet organizers is another space-efficient idea. These storage racks utilize all of the space in ll of your cabinets.
If toys are overwhelming your apartment, design a special toy storage area in your child's closet so that everything has a place of its own. If you have a separate storage area, utilize that space as well. Bicycles, skis, and other sports equipment can be stored in specially designed storage racks.
