I live in a very small apartment, so my tip is that instead of creating more storage, get rid of all the extra stuff that you really don't need or like. without the excess stuff it's easy to keep you home clean and clutter free and you don't need to think about how to add storage space.

[@ajb5114]

Yeah, I found the ideas cluttered the house. I cannot get rid of the staff I will use the garden shed to store them.

[@Pattylo09]

Great advice

[@kristineengren1997]

I would like to see these in a catalogue or book. I need certain pictures.

[@FurnitureFan]

Okay, but I reckon families will need their stuff if they are saving for a house. For example I have extra chairs right now and I will use them when I have more space - I won't waste money on a storage unit and it would cost me more to buy new ones when we move, so there's that.

[@elinao]

@@FurnitureFan if you know you will absolutely have use for something, then keep it! but for example, if you have 4 identical hammers you can get rid of few. if you have clothes that are broken or way too small. if you have a kitchen appliance that is broken or you just never use it. we all have stuff that is never going to get used and they just take space that could be used otherwise. I'm not saying that you should toss everything but 100 items or whatever. just the stuff that you genuinely won't have any use.

[@lisamorand9607]

Love it, great ideas. Floating shelves in bathroom. Sliding doors, pocket doors, accordion doors, curtains for dividing space, beautiful.

[@1951kvk]

I've recently moved into bachelor suite and have learned to repurpose everything. It's quite satisfying.

[@jill8777]

I’m downsizing so things fit in the space I have, but for sure I’ll be adding a corner shel for a mini nightstand and shelves above the doors in both bathrooms!! I’d love to see how to create storage spots inside the wall. That’s ingenious! 💡😀

[@10-OSwords]

This is an old hack but extremely useful: I have a lot of bathroom/vanity products & I hang a cloth shoe rack over the bathroom door to keep them organized. Simple & keeps all the things I need together in one place.

[@1sthawkfeathers547]

I am going to use one in my cabin for odds and ends of things until better ideas...Blessings !

[@faithm9284]

I created a tilt out trash can in my sink cabinet 30+ years ago. It seems to be the thing these days. Who knew! So convenient. Love lots of these! Have a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house with no storage. These are great ideas.

[@susie9893]

I love these guys' idea that a small apt has room for stairs! What planet are they living on?? My apt has 3 rooms - that includes the bathroom - and NO built in storage (except some pokey kitchen cabinets). Minimalism is the only way to make a space like that work - I'm still chipping away at all my stuff. It's kinda good to live sml - it forces you to make tuff decisions about your stuff

[@samanthavanscoder9536]

Oh well if you dont have it then nobody does why didnt they ask you first

[@louisejones3907]

I feel you're getting hung up on a point that's not even relevant. Its like you're criticizing the clip art and not just reading the sentence that the words intend to teach you.The b roll/found/used photo/stock image/general material/power point presentation just provides a reference point for the points list being made, and gives a general visual aid. It's not the be all end all.

[@nancylevine2776]

Same here.

[@gloriagehring8676]

Where I'm living now I have one room...I'm thinking maybe someday gratitude will find it's way to you. Blessings everyone oh and no stairs 🙏

[@beekind6267]

I was just thinking the same thing. Wth? 🤔

[@kritikitti3868]

Actually, if you rent, you could ask landlord if you could do something that might add value to the apt. Who knows? Might say "yes".🎀👀😻

[@mweinstein1542]

The ideas were really brilliant. Even if you employ a few of them it could really solve some organizational problems. Minimalism and editing your stuff is crucial in a small space.

[@SierraSadie1]

Love the corner space idea and the thin sofa table!

[@FurnitureFan]

I don't see the point of that - it's a shelf with legs.

[@michellechouinard4958]

I tried the camisole hanger. It doesn't work well, because the camisoles keep sliding to one side of the hanger, and then the hanger tips and sometimes falls right down. Instead, buy yourself a tie hanger. It works soooo well for this and they aren't that expensive.

Im 60 n there is no way i could use it. That being said- for $240 i could not have found a better option.

I love the solution under the staires and the extra furniture for the visitors.

[@shirleyhirschfeld3735]

I live in an apartment building that is over 50 years old. I have about 800 sq feet divided into living room,bedroom, galley kitchen and bathroom with ample closets. I had closet doors removed (The facility stored them) and installed invisible shelving in all the rooms. But I went one further than the video and installed a tension rod over my bathtub for drip drying clothes since most things do not require a dryer. There are 2 entrances to the galley kitchen so I also installed a set of shelves in the smaller door. I am too short to reach higher than the bottom shelf of my kitchen cabinets so I keep a collapsable stool every where there are high shelves and store seldom used items out of reach. enjoyed your video mostly because it reinforces stuff I already knew. 0

[@Imanimal-lover]

The best thing Ive done is DONATE 😊 gently worn clothes, shoes & so much more. It works fine for me to make my living space easy to clean.

[@lataunyapatterson9236]

I love the very doable solutions to common small space problems. This video has given me some great ideas I can work with & personalize. Thanks for sharing.

[@hissonggirlmoni5706]

I’m speaking for the vertically challenged. Sometimes using high spaces just makes it more difficult when you finally do need to use what you stored. Then you have to call others to help lower it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@meganhamblin418]

I agree. Storing towels above the door, is just a great way to see to it that from now on I will be drip drying. I conceived putting something up there that is not used all the time, but I used towels everyday.

[@katelynj6110]

@@meganhamblin418 It's not meant for a daily use item. Something like extra toilet paper rolls would be good for that.

[@MeritaKing1]

I have a bed that lifts up and there’s storage beneath the mattress. It’s awesome.

[@zackcarty4790]

All those shelves look great until your cat decides they need that space and clear them of all your stuff.

I stay with my sister and my bedroom is extremely small my furniture takes up room. Shelving is what I'm considering, you gave Great ideas esp. Corner floating shelves oh and the shelves over the doors !

[@lynnecarnivale5085]

When you remove the closet doors, cut them into shelves and put them up! RIGHT? God bless you all! Peace, Lynne 🍃🌷🍃🌷🍃

[@Bobrogers99]

Sliding "barn doors" limit the use of three feet of adjacent wall space. If you are building/remodeling your house, pocket doors (that slide into the wall) avoid this problem.

[@BlondeQtie]

aren’t they hard to clean or maintain?

[@donnajohnson6227]

Downside--they are really expensive

[@samsmith5370]

Love these ideas! I utilize a lot of them already, especially in the kitchen. I love clean countertops, so I have hanging baskets and shelves on the inside doors of my pantry, and lower cabinets. I love that tilt out garbage can!

[@nazrolnizam5046]

Maybe..This is planet of the Ape

[@lesleymcneill1403]

I live in a relatively small home. Best tips I’ve gleaned are from the comments. Don’t have so much stuff. Otherwise, 1) I don’t have stairs, so I can’t make shelves under them. My sofa back is too high to place a narrow table behind it. Next time I go out buy a $5000 lounge suite I’ll get a lower one. In my open plan living-dining room there isn’t a single space to place a large mirror. We have a small one facing the front door. My kitchen has literally no space for a shelf. One wall is cupboards, refrigerator and oven and stove top. Then a door way, then sink and island bench, the the remaining wall isn’t, it is the entry into open plan kitchen and family room. Most of these ideas only fit a house or unit with small rooms each with four walls and small windows and doorways. No houses like this have been built in the last 40-50 years where I live.

[@r.fairlie7186]

These are mainly good ideas as I rent a small apartment and have learnt over time what’s truly handy and what looked better in the shop! I noticed that the first tip about the glass bathroom shelf showed small metal piping around it. This is a very handy corral to stop items falling off. Mine is just flat, like the shelves shown in the very last tip. Things often fall onto the floor. IKEA makes a white wooden screw-in shelf designed to support pictures etc. I recommend one of those for anyone who wants a secure small barrier at the front of a storage shelf. They can be cut into smaller widths too.

Please consider weight too. For example, I had to donate > 3k books when moving into an 8x 26 tiny house on wheels. I still have over 200 books but my house is over weight. Slide out cabinets can be too heavy to slide as my neighbor did with making the opposite side of his sliding pantry into his bathroom door (it supposedly slides but doesn’t).

[@gazellerichardson9135]

Shelves and baskets, including hanging baskets, and door hangers have been a lifesaver. Also trunks which can double as coffee table or bedside table turned on it's side vertically to make a cupboard for bedsheets or others. It doesn't have to cost a lot to get creative. Wide window sills are great for plants and other items that sunlight won't bleach out.
