Professional organizers and interior designers share their best small-apartment ideas, from organizing the bedroom to the entryway, and even your closets..
“Starting at the front door, creating an entry is important. Having a couple of hooks or a coat rack is helpful for a few reasons. Even if you have a coat closet, most people (especially in the city), don’t have room in their closet for guest coats. And it’s great to have a spot to drop your coat and bag instead of tossing it on a chair.” .
“These are super cute. They’re these clear bins that stick on the wall, but you can take them off, so there’s no installation necessary. I’ll put those on the insides of cabinets so people don’t have too many packets of tea and spices lying around, whatever packets of food you have.” .
“These are little acrylic risers, which are like mini-shelves to stick in the medicine cabinet. You can stack them on top of each just to give you more shelf space. The six-by-three size fits in most medicine cabinets.” .
“This bookshelf is everything I could’ve wanted. It’s affordable and not too hard to assemble. For months, I’ve been using it for board games, vast amounts of books (as an English college student), and video games. My roommate and I have used it for proper storage as well as décor — it’s eye-catching more so than a more simple bookshelf — and its design also allows space for decorations like candles and picture frames.” .
