Making the Best of A Small Space

[Nada.Leona]

Hello sisters!

I'm living in a bachlor apartment, and don't exactly have a lot of room for stockpiling. Does anyone have any suggestions for making the best of my small spaces, in case I come across something on super sale?

Bright Blessings!

A few places for storage are:

~behind a couch. There is usually a bit of space between the couch and a wall.
~under your bed is another great place for storage.
~if you have end tables with doors, you can store inside the tables
~think up, meaning if you have any type of room for a shelf, you can store it there.
~I've found that I can store towels on top of a few rolls of tp when the need has arisen.
~decluttering helps the most though because when something goes out of your living space, it gives you room to store stockpile items.

We also live in a small place and have used the following for storage:
~under the beds
~converted the coat closet into a pantry
~use an old antique tool chest for a side table and store stuff inside of it
~under the couch (ours has some room under it)
~toilet paper can be stored beside the toilet
~hang shelves on the wall of a basket to store towels in your bathroom

When my kids were young and we lived in a small space, my favorite space for stockpiling canned goods was under the beds. I just bought underbed storage containers and put my canned goods in them, I then put a strip of masking tape on the top of each can with the date bought and what was in the can (it made it much easier when looking at them than trying to pick up each can)

I use my endtables, my linen closet. You can do the above, make sure that any endtables or coffee table or footstool you own and use pops open in some way for storage.

Decorative baskets, put a long shelf near ceiling height and put stuff up there.

I've kept stuff above my kitchen cupboards too.

Entry closets are another good spot for paper and cleaners. I use chests of drawers (strip down your wardrobe and use that space in drawers and closets) or closets.
