Organization of space in the apartment: ideas for competent storage

Regardless of the area of ​​the apartment, you can fill it with various things very quickly. In order not to create inconvenience to yourself, you need to properly organize storage. In small-sized housing, this problem is even more urgent. Experts are ready to suggest how to solve it.

Harmonization means abandoning a large cabinet, especially an open shelf or hanger, as they lead to chaos. Much more appropriate are built-in solutions that match the color of the finish, or tall cabinets of moderate length and width, equipped with mirrored facades.

Optimization of the use of small spaces is achieved through transforming furniture of various types. Multifunctional items should be preferred over ordinary items. If there seems to be no more space left to use, just take a closer look.

The vertical distribution of the stored items is much more economical than the horizontal one. Select a piece of furniture that will act as an organizer of the surrounding space, and arrange everything else so that it is completely accessible and clearly visible.

It is advisable to use styles such as minimalism and hi-tech, which are different:

• maximum release of space;
• the predominance of functional and compact items;
• the ability to use even visually incongruous elements.

An original move is the use of furniture with a glossy or mirrored facade, as well as products based on plastic and transparent glass. Such objects visually take up very little space and remain almost invisible. Areas under the stairs allow you to create storage systems or work corners. The space under the bed, if occupied with large pull-out drawers, can hold more things than you might think!

In a small apartment, it makes sense to store children's toys under specially equipped floors. This will avoid chaos and help keep children interested in an unusual approach. The design is simple - a platform or cellar is built, the depth of which should be 35-40 cm, and a lifting cover is made to facilitate access. Creative space savings are also achieved through the use of pieces of furniture that combine the properties of a bed, a wardrobe and a bookcase.

The plywood cube can be placed around the window by placing a comfortable bed inside. A built-in wardrobe is placed to the right, the drawers of which are made pull-out. To the left and above are the parts of the bookcase in the shape of the letter "L". To the bottom of the bed, there are several more boxes that allow you to store bed linen.

To clear the rooms of everything superfluous, without throwing away a lot of things, the storage places disguised in the walls will help. The choice of their appearance is almost unlimited. Some designers resort to such original solutions as imitation of mollusk shells or bird nests.

If there is a large library in the house, it can be placed in the very middle of the apartment and supplemented with a staircase, along which it will be possible to enter the office. As a rule, it is not delimited from other rooms, but is placed on an open balcony, which allows you to view the first floor. The library is made in two tiers, its shelves and stairs should be made of wood of neutral shades.

Expanding the available space will work creatively even with less significant alterations.

In the kitchen you can use:

• a reclining ironing board, which is usually found in the closet;
• lifting shelf;
• slide-out section for pots, pans and lids.

There is room for foil and parchment in the magazine stand, and bread and most vegetables will fit in the headset's roll-out drawers. Do not give up using the inside of the cabinet doors - it is easy to install hooks there that will hold measuring spoons or pot lids. An additional cabinet with drawers for spices allows you to separate them from other products and still have them close at hand.

When there is not enough space in the bathroom, you need to increase the use of the available part of it by using curtains with pockets and attaching a magnetic tape to the wall that can hold small metal objects. Wall recessed cabinetry, drawers with roll-out basket holders are two more examples of creative use of space. The free space under the bathroom, fenced off with a special screen, can easily accommodate household chemicals and rarely used things. The main locker can only be filled with cosmetics.

According to experts, small apartments will only benefit from partial demolition of walls and installation of sliding doors. The podium will help to abandon the classic wardrobe and hide the sleeping place (if there is no need for it). The original version is a lightweight table, which, when assembled, is hung on the wall and acts as a mirror.

The ergonomics of any room will be improved by using small baskets for storing various items. It is advisable to add bright accents to make the room more beautiful. It is more correct to replace traditional flower pots with a phytowall, since it is also easier to care for it. A properly selected corner rack or shelf can look very good.

Competent kitchen design concepts often include the use of dishes displayed on open shelves. It is needed as an additional decor. You can visually expand the window and increase the passage of light through it by attaching the cornice closer to the ceiling. Retro-style items often help to save space. At the same time, they significantly improve the perception of the style and image of the rooms.

Dividing studios into parts with the help of large furniture is sometimes more aesthetically pleasing than due to partitions that carry a purely decorative function. In an insufficiently high room, it is appropriate to use low furniture, and best of all - slightly raised above the floor. Embedding a chest of drawers in an alcove will be aesthetically appropriate if they are made of the same type of material. The shelves of a fancy configuration, complemented by curtains with bright prints, look very original.
