Need a little extra space in your home? A few strategies and tricks can help you out, and you can learn them in just a minute.
-
When you don’t have a lot of space to work with, use Command hooks to stick stuff on the walls — like backpacks. You can also repurpose planters for holding office supplies!
-
If you run out of wall space, use your doors. You can pick up door hangers at many department stores to hold anything from purses to dog leashes to shoes.
-
When you can’t build up, build down. You can fit a lot under your bed. If your bed touches the floor, buy bed risers to lift it up.
-
You can probably fit a lot more in your closet than you think. If you have a lot of clothes, try rolling them. Then you can save shelf space for more important things and prevent wrinkles.
-
Build things into your furniture or choose furniture with storage in it. I have an arcade in my coffee table and a bench that stores pet supplies.
