5 Tips To Maximise Apartment Storage

Apartment living is a rising trend in the city region, providing a prestigious CBD location and stunning views in every corner. The lifestyle is one of a kind and apartments require extra attention when designing the space including the amount of storage needed which is different for each home. Learn how to declutter and maximise apartment storage with our top 5 tips on creating a seamless home with storing and organising items.

01. Go Vertical

When there is not enough room on the same level as you, why not go up? Vertical wall storage is the perfect solution to storage issues in a small space. A vertical cabinet or bookshelf can store several home accessories including plants, lamps, books, electronics and more. There are many ways to enhance the style factor by adding elements like ivy vines and fairy lights intertwined along these vertical units. This vertical solution not only helps declutter a living room or bedroom but also adds a nice feature to the wall space across the entire apartment.

02. Functional Aesthetics

Accessories that provide a great visual aesthetic and are functional at the same time are a major advantage to apartment styling. It would be beneficial to search for furniture and decorative items that assist with building the storage capacity in a space and not require extra room for it to be placed in the apartment. Utilising wall space to store items is a functional method as you can hang pieces such as your coats, bags, umbrellas all across a wall hook unit, keeping it immaculate. Another practical method would be using collapsible cubes and rattan baskets which are trendy and can be easily tucked away when not in use regularly.

03. Doors To The Rescue

Once we have utilised all walls, we can make use of the doors! Hanging your essential items on door hooks or compartments is a smart way of decluttering the floor space in a bedroom or bathroom. You can place your clothes, bags, shoes and other accessories on your over the door unit, whilst being able to hide the items when it is not required. It proves to be helpful even inside kitchen cabinets or bedroom cupboards, becoming the ultimate hack as they create more storage within a storage unit itself.

04. Let’s Go Under

Every little space in an apartment is worth something and can be utilised to the max. Underbed storage is the ultimate way to pack large sheets and bulky bedding linen along with personal belongings being neatly tucked away and easily accessible. Another option is sourcing collapsible cubes for underbed storage, if there are no storage units built in below your bed frames. This can also be used for couches in the living room, creating extra storage space for cushions and throws to be brought out when needed for extra comfort.

05. Customise Your Furniture

If you want to get more creative with your furniture, customising pieces for your apartment is the way to go. Built in storage solutions will prove to be a life saver in the long run as you won’t have to buy extra units just for the purpose of storing items. The types of custom furniture can include study desks with drawers and shelves on the side, long mirrors with cabinets, built in shelves for bedframes or drawers under the bed as well as coffee tables that have drawers. There is a vast array of styling methods to make the most of your apartment while keeping all the essentials neat and tidy within storage units, all you have to do is become innovative.
