Ways to Solve Storage Problems for Small Space

Storage Solution Ideas

Living in a small space can make storage difficult, but with A-1 Hauling's pro storage tips, you can make the most of your small space! Here are some ways you can utilize various storage solutions to create a decluttered and organized space. 


Get Things Off the Floor


In a small space, clutter is the ultimate enemy, but using the right storage solutions can help you beat clutter! We recommend using the strategy where you can get valuable spots within the home to store your essentials. 


For example, you can mount rectangular shelves or small cubes to the wall for storage. You can also use wall-mounted light fixtures also help to open up tabletop space for storing items. 


Use Storage Out in the Open


Keep an open mind when it comes to storage. Not everything needs to be shoved into closets or drawers; instead can be stored out in the open with various solutions to help you get the most out of a smaller space. 


For example, you can group items roughly the same sizes, such as tools of aluminum foil, parchment paper, and wax paper, and place them in a decorative metal file basket that can be mounted to a cabinet or the side of a countertop. 


Use Furniture That Doubles as Storage


To help you boost your storage space without taking away from your available space, consider furniture that doubles as storage. You can utilize storage ottomans that provide you with a place to store items and put your feet up. Another example would be to opt for a desk with built-in shelving to store all of your office essentials without the need for extra containers or bins that could clutter the floor.


Utilize Vertical Space


You have ample verticle space in your home that can be used for storing a variety of items. For example, you can purchase shoe racks or coat hooks that can be hung over the door for storage, allowing you to expand your closet space. 


You can also purchase slim wire baskets that can be hung over the door to hold cleaning supplies, kitchen essentials, wrapping paper, gift bags, and so much more. 


Get Rid of Items You Don't Need


Another great way to battle clutter in a small space is to get rid of unnecessary items and bare down your clutter to the essentials. When you have fewer items to store, it will allow you to use your space effectively. 


We recommend only keeping what is necessary for your family. For example, pare down your bath towels to one or two sets, and then you can replace them as they wear out. 


Take a look at all your items, including furniture, and determine what you really need and what you could clear out to make room and declutter. Whether you decide to get rid of your old furniture, or anything in between, A-1 Hauling can help!
