Organizational Tips for Efficient Apartment Living


 Apartment living can be difficult for anyone, especially if it’s a considerably smaller space than you’re used to living in. While some may embrace a more minimalist lifestyle, those of us unable to make a huge lifestyle change are left wondering how to keep our apartments as clean and decluttered as possible. Fortunately, with some extra tips, tricks, and investing in both functional and stylish furniture and tools, you can make your small apartment into the home of your dreams. Here are some tips on how to organize an apartment for small space living: 

  • Functional Storage. Finding storage solutions that double as everyday items and furniture in your apartment is one of the key ways you can keep your apartment clutter-free without sacrificing style or aesthetics. For example, buy a couch with storage underneath the seats to keep blankets or extra pillows, or bench ottomans in your entryway with storage inside for scarves, mittens, hats, or shoes. You can also get bed frames that lift to reveal more storage space or make use of the space underneath the bed to store suitcases and luggage. There are more functional and beautiful furniture pieces that contain storage options than you think!

  • Use Every Inch. Use every inch of your apartment to decorate and store. Install shelves above your doors to keep books, or buy corner shelves that fit into the corners of your room for extra space. Install a pegboard on a wall and keep pots, pans, and kitchen utensils if you don’t have the drawers or cabinets to house them. And see about different options to make use of the narrow space between appliances in your kitchen! You can find spice racks and pantry carts that are designed to fit in those thin spaces and will make a huge difference in the amount of space and storage you’re left with.

  • Declutter Your Entryway. Don’t overlook the importance of your entryway. Since it’s the first thing you and your guests will see, it’s important to keep it as decluttered as possible. Look into installing coat hooks, clothing rods, key hooks, and mail organizers on the walls near your entryway so that everything has its own place. 

  • Organizers. Investing in organizers for your drawers, cabinets, and closets is an amazing way to make the most of your space. You can find organizers for almost every room and/or item, from kitchen tools, shower curtain organizers, over the door shoe organizers, to clothing, closet, dresser, and hanger organizers, you can double, or even triple the amount of space in a given area just by using organizers. 

  • Cleaning Products. Decluttering your apartment is one thing, but actually keeping it clean is another. Your cleaning products are most likely housed underneath your bathroom or kitchen sink, with half-empty bottles of who knows what. Try to find cleaning products that you know work for you, and get rid of the other ones that you don’t need. Streamlining these products will make it easier and faster for you when you’re cleaning and will save you space for cleaning products you don’t need!
