Small Space Storage

Home Organization Tips for Small Spaces

A systems-first approach to organizing any small home or apartment.

Systems beat stuff

Most organization fails because people buy containers before they have a system. Start with the behavior you want, then find the container that supports it.

Vertical thinking

In small spaces, floor space is precious and wall space is free. Floating shelves, pegboards, over-door organizers add storage without shrinking your room.

Under-bed storage

Sealed bins on wheels keep out dust and make access easy. Off-season clothes, extra linens, and shoes all fit.

Keep one bag in your closet at all times. When something no longer fits or gets used, drop it in. When full, it goes straight to donation. Steady outflow beats big cleanout days.
