35+ Smart People That Put Every Inch Of Their Apartments To Use
After rummaging through the cabinet for 10 minutes, you still can’t find the top you’re looking for. You can blame your lack of organizational skills because you don’t know how to organize your belongings. Apartments and houses are becoming smaller in size as time passes. Too many items and not enough room. Fortunately, these people made sure to put every inch of their apartment to use.
Roll With the Punches
In this world, there are two kinds of people. Some people fold and store their clothes neatly, while others — the “smarter” ones — understand the advantages of rolling clothes. The same is true for towels.
Roll With The Punches
Rolling up clothes and towels is a great way to save space while also keeping things neat for whatever reason. Everything will no longer have to be piled up. What’s the best part? You can finally say goodbye to folding! After all, folding is one of the world’s most despised duties.
Spice Up Your Life
This appears to be a professional chef’s kitchen — or, at the very least, a budding one. Take a look at the spices and herbs that adorn the shelves. A big difficulty with having so many similar-sized bottles and containers in the pantry is the hassle and clutter connected with it.
Spice Up Your Life
It will take a long time to find the oregano unless you know exactly where you put it among the 100 other bottles. So, like this OP, consider investing in some pull-out organizers. It’s definitely a clever solution!
Transformative Makeover
Makeup is all fun and games until your countertop becomes cluttered, and you want to chuck everything on the floor. We understand! You want to powder your nose and walk out the door in the morning.
Transformative Makeover
On the other hand, keeping things organized saves time in the long run. You know where everything is, so you can find what you’re looking for in less than two seconds. There’s also the issue of hygiene to consider. This wall makeup organizer is super practical!
Dividing the Clutter
This is the ideal solution for folks who don’t have enough closet space. Too much clothing for your taste? Or do you have a large family? These closet shelf dividers are revolutionary. The heaped garments on the top shelf looked disorganized before they were added.
Dividing the Clutter
Despite being folded nicely, they lean on each other due to a lack of support. Thanks to the dividers, you can now separate your jeans, sweaters, shirts, towels, and other items.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
You don’t always need to rush out to IKEA or Costco to acquire organizing supplies. Plenty of things around the house can be repurposed or recycled if you’re crafty enough. Some people have already figured out how to use old biscuit cans and tins to store sewing supplies and other items.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
I bet you never considered using plastic containers in this manner! Originally, this small bottle held razor blades. It turns out to be an ideal storage container because it can accommodate micro compacts and/or single eyeshadows. Try this if you don’t have much makeup.
Maximize the Space
After you’ve used up all of the cabinet space, you can move on to the interior of the doors. Most people keep their measuring spoons and cups in kitchen cabinet drawers, but this clever solution will make you reconsider.
Maximize the Space
You can save an extra drawer for other purposes if you try this. All of your measurement cups can be accommodated by little hooks and clamps on either side of the doors. You could probably do the same with spatulas, whisks, and ladles.
A Game Changer
Remember those small PVC bags that many of us used as pencil cases when we were younger? They can, however, be used to arrange things about the house. We probably wouldn’t have considered this one. Puzzles and indoor games are essential for families with children or those who enjoy game nights.
A Game Changer
With this method, you’ll never have to look for a Monopoly piece again. Label many PVC bags and place the parts inside before storing them in a drawer or box.
Bottle it Up
This is a common issue for families and couples: there isn’t enough storage space in the bathroom, so everything becomes cluttered. It’s not easy to share a bathroom. Everyone appears to have a favorite product, and the top of the sink can only hold so much. Tired of unending columns of bottles strewn across the countertop?
Bottle it Up
You should give these freestanding countertop shelves a shot. You may save a lot of room by stacking your toiletries. If you keep makeup in there, a few plastic containers with separators could help you organize even more.
A Brush With Science
One Redditor and Snapchat user, a science enthusiast with exceptional makeup abilities, decided to take their organization to the next level. They say goodbye to basic makeup storage boxes and containers in favor of creating an “extremely distinctive” collection.
A Brush With Science
They’ve converted their makeup room into a mini-laboratory by using vintage beakers and conical flasks. Makeup, if you think about it, is a type of science. You combine elements (colors, hues, and textures) to create the ideal solution. Furthermore, this is a far more environmentally friendly strategy.
Cubic Gold
Do you have a laundry room that you treat like a hoarding room? There’s no shame in acknowledging that even the most organized people can’t always maintain things perfectly ordered. If Monica Geller can make a mistake, so can you.
Cubic Gold
One internet user commented on how cluttered the shelves above her washer/dryer appeared to be. She was able to organize all she desired with a single internet search and an Amazon order. All of the household objects now have a home, and it’s much easier to keep track of them. These cubes are quite durable and can be obtained all over the internet.
Cuterus Solution
This is something that every woman who menstruates should attempt. When Flo pays you a surprise visit, and you don’t have your menstruation products on hand, tragedy is too close for comfort. It feels good to know that all of your belongings are in one location, especially at a time when extreme mood swings make even the most ordinary actions unpleasant.
Cuterus Solution
This Snapchat user neatly stored all of the menstrual supplies in the house in a huge container. This is more practical and convenient for daily reference than distributing them across a few drawers. Even toothpaste has a place!
Small Space Rolling Cart
YouTube beauty gurus have entire rooms and enormous cupboards dedicated to makeup. Nonetheless, all of their belongings appear to be in perfect order all of the time. Apart from the fact that they receive expert assistance in obtaining such perfection, it can be rather frustrating to see your table piled high with beauty supplies.
Small Space Rolling Cart
We like this compact rolling cart since it can fit in even the smallest of areas, as shown in the picture. It’s large enough to hold all your belongings without taking up too much room. This a fantastic solution for individuals who despise clutter!
Hats Off to You!
Hats, hats, and even more hats! You don’t have to be a hipster teen to appreciate a decent snapback. Hats, on the other hand, aren’t the easiest objects to keep due to their shape and size. If you wear them daily, keep them nearby in your closet, possibly piled.
Hats Off to You!
Although this is a good way to store hats, we prefer this method of utilizing a hanger and some plastic rings. These rings are used to secure the headwear before placing the hanger neatly inside the closet or cabinet.
Magnetic Power
Wireless technology is extremely significant. It demonstrates that technology has advanced beyond our wildest dreams and serves as a reminder of why wireless devices were so popular in the first place. Wires aren’t inherently terrible, but they are notorious for becoming twisted and tangled with one another.
Magnetic Power
Imagine how much time you spend untangling your wired headphones. A magnetic cable organizer would be ideal for houses and offices with many cables to sort through. It cuts the hassle in half! Furthermore, these can store backup CDs.
Ex-straw Organized
Bracelets and necklaces, like wires, can become tangled from time to time. The thinner the chain, the more difficult it is to unravel from the confines of knots. We would like a set of metal straws that are more environmentally friendly, but this is an excellent method to reuse the plastic straws that are laying around the house.
Ex-straw Organized
Before shutting the locks, weave your bracelets and necklaces through straws. These straws may be stored on a shelf or a counter and are also portable.
For the Singles
Consider the most embarrassing times in your life. Some of these terrible memories are associated with the bathroom for many people. You, too, would be irritated if you couldn’t find the toilet paper after finishing your business.
For the Singles
If you live with your family, partner, or roommate, they may be able to assist you by offering you a roll. This suggestion, on the other hand, is ideal for singles. If you don’t have a lot of room in your bathroom, keep your toilet paper in a basket close to the toilet.
Toad-ally Perfect
Before we begin, we must state that this cookie jar is absolutely (ha, get it?) lovely. Who would have thought of designing a frog-shaped biscuit tin? It’s even got a bow on its neck! This Snapchat user was stumped about what to do with this adorable frog cookie container.
Toad-ally Perfect
There was no conventional use for it because she had no biscuits. Her lover, on the other hand, did not have a bathroom. She transformed it into a holder for all her period products, being the astute cookie that she is.
Pin it Down
According to reports, women lose over two billion bobby pins each year. You’re not the only one who has been wondering where the bobby pins you bought three weeks ago have gone. These handy hair clips are diabolical little wonders that seem to disappear after only one use.
Pin it Down
This tip from a Redditor’s wife could help you save money on bobby pins. She adheres the pins to the magnets on the side of the paper towel holder. That way, she’ll be able to find one anytime she needs one.
The Drawer of Your Dreams
Moving to a new location can be a difficult experience. The most difficult part will be getting everything set up. After unboxing your belongings, arranging them may take an eternity. In fact, many people procrastinate on this task for weeks.
The Drawer of Your Dreams
To be honest, it’s understandable. It can be difficult to achieve the same degree of organization that you had in your previous home. When she moved into a new place, a woman began by organizing her bathroom drawer. Menstrual products were placed in a few places, while scrunchies took the other slots.
Think Outside the Box
Homemakers, this is your time to shine! A Cricut, which is essentially a cutting machine that can cut paper, cloth, felt, and other materials, has become a popular household item. It greatly simplifies the organizing procedure. The process becomes considerably easier when you can print labels for your containers.
Think Outside the Box
Not to mention that creating and printing labels may be rather relaxing. This OP’s mother came over with her Cricut machine and cut labels for their craft boxes. We’re actually a little envious of the arrangement.
A Painter’s Den
A creative mind can make amazing things out of the most ordinary circumstances. This is another instance of this. A painter’s studio isn’t likely to be the most spick and span, but this Redditor’s might be one of the coolest.
A Painter’s Den
They hung small racks on their studio walls to hold paint bottles. They reasoned that hooks and clamps would suffice for the tubes. Tubes of paint are so hung on the walls in various layers. Unsurprisingly, the paints are organized by color shades.
Trolley Awesome
Utility closets are often small in size. Unless you live in a large house, your utility closet will most likely be large enough to contain a few boxes of toilet paper, a vacuum cleaner, and other household items. But have you considered adding a trolley?
Trolley Awesome
This Redditor tested it, and it significantly boosted their storage space. The trolley’s numerous layers allowed them to store everything from laundry soap to disinfecting spray – a neat freak’s dream!
Willing & (C)able
Your job may demand you to work with cables and cords constantly. Or perhaps you’re a natural handyman who enjoys having these items around. A single broken line may derail a game you were on the verge of winning, an important meeting, or worse.
Willing & (C)able
You are not required to keep them in drawers. A cord and cable cache, such as the one shown, could be ideal for storing them. Everything is tightly packed and organized.
Before and After
We can see what the linen closet looked like before this Snapchat user worked on it on the left side of this split. Despite being folded, all of the towels are strewn about within. It distorts the space and makes it appear smaller than it is.
Before and After
When you use space effectively, you can make it appear larger. After a few containers and cartons, the linen closet is picture-perfect. On the top level, all of the garments are folded or rolled up, while the bottom shelves have various labeled accessory sections.
Happy Camper
A pegboard is an organizational tool you’ve been yearning for. These useful boards would look excellent in your garage, cellar, or studio. This Redditor has wanderlust and enjoys camping vacations. With all of the heavy equipment required to execute a good camping trip, they needed to devise an effective manner to keep their belongings.
Happy Camper
Sleeping bags, water bottles, canisters, and other items are strewn across the floor. This is enough to fill the entire garage.
Snack Packs
We all enjoy a nibble now and then. Let’s face it: you want to abandon your diet and eat a bag of Doritos at 12 a.m. Aside from eating, we’re enamored with those TikTok food organization videos, and this appears to be a variant of that.
Snack Packs
This user stored many types of snacks in multiple OXO containers. There are biscuits, chips, sweets, and other goodies. And now they have plenty of room for other things. Who wouldn’t want such a drawer in their home?
De(pen)dable
This image has given us major pen envy. The person in this photo is an active journaler who also owns a small-lettering design firm, which explains why they have/need so many pens. However, efficiently storing pens is difficult.
De(pen)dable
Th
ese containers were purchased at The Container Store, according to the OP. They aren’t particularly deep, but they adequately contain most of their pens. Longer ones that don’t fit are stored on top in a separate bin.
iDesign
There’s an entire area on Reddit dedicated to folks who live for an organization. There are tips and strategies to keep everything in order. These iDesigner containers are easy and spacious, making them ideal for storage in the pantry.
iDesign
As we can see, the fridge is packed with vegetables, eggs, fruits, butter, and other items. The author of this post stated that they purchased these from Costco in a set of four. Without these boxes, you wouldn’t be able to store as much.
Dollar Tree Finds
Your neighborhood Dollar Tree has a plethora of gems that might really up your interior game. If you saw these teal and gray bins at Dollar Tree, they probably wouldn’t be the most tempting finds for you. This demonstrates that you only need a little imagination to make the most of any situation.
Dollar Tree Finds
The color scheme is gorgeous and works well with a neutral background. Furthermore, the Redditor took the trouble to precisely organize the bins so that the highlights are more noticeable.
How Crafty!
Pegboards are useful and practical, despite their unattractive appearance. Many individuals enjoy installing one in their garage to store tools and equipment. This is a smaller version that is ideal for homes and offices.
How Crafty!
Attach a pegboard to the side of one cabinet if you don’t have enough space in your cabinet to keep the scissors, scalpels, or scrapers. It saves a lot of room and allows you to keep your tools separate from one another. You may also use these to display art supplies in the craft area.
A Satisfying Fit
IKEA is a pioneer in the realm of organization. They make drawers, cabinets, and almost anything else you may think of to spruce up your home. The KALLAX collection of storage shelving is simple and attractive, with an emphasis on ease and functionality. Someone purchased several enormous IKEA KALLAX cubes and containers.
A Satisfying Fit
Fortunately, the canisters fit well inside the cubes. There’s also one cube with numerous smaller containers! The top shelf appears to be filled with notepads. The remaining containers contain pens, tapes, cords, and wires.
Costco Never Misses
You must adore Costco! These establishments, which are literally everywhere, sell a wide range of necessities for daily life at extremely low costs. Consider this lovely basket storage container. The top serves as a cabinet, and the Redditor who purchased it displayed cups and mugs on it.
Costco Never Misses
However, there is a small opening in the bottom layer. They keep plates there. We think the OP got it at a steal because it’s Costco. A few of them could really help your cabinet space.
Prim and Proper
Your laundry room contains far more than meets the eye. Sure, with the washer and dryer taking up 90% of the space, it’s difficult to see doing much more with it. Many people have shelves above their devices but rarely know how to use them to their full potential.
Prim and Proper
Replace those flimsy small shelves with these sturdy oak cabinets. Everything from cleaning supplies to towels, soaps, and toiletries may be stored inside. Furthermore, the tops of the cabinets can be used to store items.
Alternative Vintage Luggage
Don’t be deceived by the few garments hanging inside this closet — this Redditor has a plethora of more clothing in their seasonal closet. This, on the other hand, is the master closet. They noticed it was wasting space and decided to freshen things up.
Alternative Vintage Luggage
Instead of baskets and containers, they stored their belongings in old vintage bags and suitcases. To be honest, we think that’s an excellent choice. The vintage accents light up the room, adding much-needed warmth and elegance.
Seasoned Chef’s Pantry
All you need is a Cricut and a trip to the Dollar Tree to make your cupboard as beautiful as this one. The ingredients must be purchased individually, but that’s another tale. It’s easy to assume that this Snapchatter enjoys cooking.
Seasoned Chef’s Pantry
They feature a vast selection of spices, herbs, blends, and components. All of the glass containers, as well as the bigger plastic ones, have labels. The setup appears quite stylish thanks to the built-in light settings within.
The Crafty Nook
Is it just us, or did the Groot planter catch your eye first? Right present, antique furniture is highly popular. Everyone is obsessed with the old, rustic aesthetic. A Redditor saw an opening and took advantage of it.
The Crafty Nook
This originally antique cabinet is currently used as a crafts cabinet, with multiple shelves stuffed inside. Flat surfaces are required to store items that bend readily, which is an excellent solution. We also like the decorating concepts.
Adorable Sock Drawer
We had to perform a double take when we saw this picture. The likeness to tennis balls is uncanny. Some individuals prefer to fold their socks, while others tie the ends of the pair together and store them in a drawer.
Adorable Sock Drawer
Sock drawers aren’t often orderly, at least not for most people. Socks take up less room and are easier to discover when folded into small balls and stored in a single box. You’ll never lose another sock again.
Unique Tampon Holder
Barbicide has been the disinfection solution every barber and cosmetologist has used since 1947. Even if they don’t utilize it, they know its existence. Who knew old Barbicide jars could be used to store tampons? It’s amazing how people can come up with the most creative ideas when forced to.
Unique Tampon Holder
Due to a lack of toilet space, one Redditor devised a clever solution to keep their menstrual supplies. Tampons are often easier to keep, but this is still an excellent method. Consider what a fantastic addition this could be to public restrooms!
When You’re Tall
Sorry, short people: this trick will only work if you’re tall! This internet user opted to modify their attitude after they ran out of cabinet space to solve their problems. This elegant zig-zag cubical spice rack is wall-mounted and can store many spice containers.
When You’re Tall
They labeled the tops of the containers to keep track of all the spices. They claimed that this is five racks stacked on top of each other, three of which they bought on eBay.
Let This One Sink In…
Consider yourself really fortunate if you have a lot of space under the sink in your home or apartment. Because of the overpopulation of wires and pipes under the sink, there is rarely any space to store anything, but there will always be inventive people who find a way to make the few inches of space available work for them.
Let This One Sink In…
Cleaning materials are stored in this home using Lazy Susans, hooks, and plastic containers. Other goods shown include disinfectant spray, wipes, dishwashing liquid, and more.
Double Up
Have you ever wondered how you could literally quadruple your closet storage capacity by stacking items? When storing clothes or makeup, we always utilize this strategy. However, it can also be used for other purposes. Here’s something you could attempt if you don’t have cabinets.
Double Up
These plastic stacking drawers can help you maximize any storage space. Take a look at how many items this user has been able to store using this method, not to mention how well it keeps everything ordered! The wicker baskets include toilet paper, paper towels, and bathroom cleanser, while the plastic containers contain medicine, travel supplies, grooming items, and other stuff.
Pen Pals
Today’s technology is advanced enough to capture an image that depicts what dreams are made of – in this case, for a stationery enthusiast. Pens of various sizes, shapes, colors, and flows. However, keeping track of everything might be difficult with so many pens. Have you ever thought about reusing the boxes that your phones and other technology equipment came in?
Pen Pals
Instead of throwing those boxes away, utilize them to organize your desk drawers, as this OP did. They’ll never have to look for a highlighter or Sharpie again because everything has a place!
