• Whether you are searching for a new apartment or
  downsizing from a larger space, one of the
  amenities you may be looking for is storage
  space. Even if your apartment options dont
  include a basement or designated storage area,
  you can still make the most of your space by
  utilizing what you have to the fullest.
• Here are five storage hacks that can help keep
  your belongings accessible and organized.

• Hack 1 Collapse, collapse, collapse
• You may not be willing to take up your living
  space with large, bulky furniture, and you dont
  have to. We encourage you to look at options that
  collapse. Table leaves that fold or can be
  removed, folding chairs and flexible room
  dividers are all great options for conserving
  space. For your kitchen items, consider
  collapsible food storage containers, measuring
  cups, mixing bowls and colanders. These are just
  some of the kitchen tools that can become smaller
  versions of themselves, allowing you to maximize
  your space.

• Hack 2 Use hooks and shelves
• Heavy coats and winter accessories are bulky and
  take up precious space in your closets. Consider
  adding a series of attractive hooks in your
  entryway to store these bigger items. Install a
  shelf above them where you can store bins or
  baskets of gloves, scarfs and hats. This hack can
  be used in your bathroom also to hang robes,
  towels and store beauty items.

• Hack 3 Use hidden storage spaces
• Storage furniture lets you hide away your items
  while still keeping them accessible. A storage
  bench can be used for blankets or books while
  also functioning as a coffee table. Some ottomans
  have storage space inside them, while cabinets or
  chests can be both decorative and practical.

• Hack4 Store up instead of across
• Many apartment renters make the mistake of
  storing everything at ground level. To avoid
  using that space too quickly, look at your walls
  as optimal storage options. Mount shelves that go
  up to the ceiling. Consider purchasing storage
  shelves or bookcases that are high instead of
  wide. Mount cubes or a wall-mounted light fixture
  beside your bed to replace a nightstand. When you
  work your way up and store what you can at higher
  levels, you can conserve your space on the ground.

• Hack 5 Think outside the box
• Need kitchen storage for your extra pans for
  cookie sheets? Why not use the oven to
  temporarily store those items? Or purchase a
  kitchen cart for the overflow that can be wheeled
  in and out of a closet or the laundry room when
  its needed.

• Hack 6 Store items under your bed
• Instead of putting your mattress directly on the
  floor, make use of that space by placing the
  mattress on a high bed frame. Not only will it be
  more comfortable for you to get in and out of, it
  will also give you priceless storage space for
  bins of non-seasonal clothes, books and other
  items.
