apartment organization tips

Ever tried to organize a small apartment, only to find that your space is too small? And no matter how much you try to make it work, it seems like you can’t get anything done. We’ve all been there! But don’t worry—we’re here to help with our list of apartment organization tips:

1. Maximize your space.

If you want to get more organized, it’s important to figure out how much space you have and how many things you will be storing. The more space there is, the more likely you’ll be able to find a spot for everything.

So let’s start from the top down:

Your bedroom should be your last stop when organizing your apartment because it can be overwhelming if you don’t organize other areas first (and even then). Start with smaller spaces such as closets, cabinets and drawers so that by the time you tackle your bedroom, it won’t seem like too much work!
You may not realize this but there’s plenty of room under your bed — use it! If there isn’t enough space under your bed for all of those boxes or bookshelves full of old junk then consider buying something like these underbed storage containers ($19) which will save tons of space while also keeping things tidy and easy-to-reach when needed again later down the line someday soon maybe hopefully please god help me survive living here until graduation day please oh please god help me survive living here until graduation day

2. Clean out your closet.

Another way to make your apartment feel more organized is to get rid of clothing you don’t wear. If you have a whole closet full of clothes, but they’re all stained or out of style, it’s time to let them go. Closets can be messy when they’re overflowing with old boxes and bags containing items that are no longer in use. Start by organizing the clothes that you do wear into sections (e.g., dresses, shirts) and keep only those items neatly folded up on shelves or in drawers so that everything has its own place. You should also consider donating any damaged pieces instead of holding onto them just because they still technically fit or are otherwise wearable—you won’t feel like wearing them if they look terrible!

If you find that there’s too much space between each item in your closet—for example, there may be an empty row between two pairs of shoes—then try adding another shelf above both footwear so they’re stacked vertically instead of side-by-side horizontally! Vertical storage saves space while keeping everything within easy reach when needed; this method also allows for easy access during emergency situations such as power outages where lights go out unexpectedly (or even during other times when electricity goes down).

3. Install inexpensive wall hooks.

Wall hooks are one of the best ways to store items out of the way. They’re inexpensive, simple to install and can be used for anything from hanging towels or robes in your bathroom, to hanging up coats and hats in your entryway. You can buy hooks at any hardware store or home improvement store, but if you have a little time on your hands, try making some yourself using scrap wood that you probably have lying around. All you need is a drill press (for boring holes into the wood) and some screws with wall anchors that have been pre-drilled into them. Hooks come in many shapes and sizes—you can even make them yourself by cutting dowels down to size with tin snips!

Here are some tips when installing hooks:

Decide where on each wall you want them installed before marking where they should go; this will prevent mistakes later on because it gives room for error between cabinets/doors/windows etc that may be in front of where we plan on putting our new storage space.* Make sure whatever surface material is being worked with has not been painted over recently! If so – remove all paint residue before beginning installation.* Always use a level when hanging items vertically (such as shelves) because uneven surfaces cause everything else attached below them – including floors – to become unbalanced too!

4. Clear out your fridge and cabinets.

You can’t organize your pantry and fridge if it’s full of expired food. Take some time to remove all of the old items, then organize what you have left.

Organizing your refrigerator is fairly easy. You’ll want to make sure that any perishable items are stored at the correct temperature, but beyond that you just have to toss out anything that’s expired or no longer needed. Make sure there’s plenty of room for new groceries by throwing away old containers and excess foodstuff—but don’t go overboard! If something doesn’t fit in a cabinet or shelf anymore, toss it out! The goal here is having enough space for everything so that nothing gets lost or forgotten about. You wouldn’t want an extra bag of potatoes taking up valuable real estate where another loaf could live instead!

Pantry organization is similar in concept: clear out anything expired or unnecessary; arrange everything else so everything has its own space; and keep only as much on hand as will fit comfortably in the available area (or less).

5. Use under-the-bed storage for extra clothes, bedding, and more.

If you have extra clothes, bedding, toys or other items that don’t fit in your drawers, don’t worry: Under-the-bed storage can help. You can use it to store blankets and pillows as well as clothing and shoes.

If you have the space under the bed, consider getting some containers to make sure everything is clean and organized. These containers are typically made of plastic with a lid—you simply pull them out when you need something at the bottom of your bed. They’re also easy to stack so they take up less room than regular boxes would.

6. Rearrange the furniture in your room to give it a new look and feel.

7. Place a small bookcase at the end of your sofa or other furniture to store books and magazines, flowers, or a TV remote control caddy where it’s handy yet out of the way.

Place a small bookcase at the end of your sofa or other furniture to store books and magazines, flowers, or a TV remote control caddy where it’s handy yet out of the way.

Use this trick to help keep things organized in your living room. The shelf can be used to store books, magazines and anything else that you want close by but doesn’t need an entire cabinet for storage purposes. If you have an open area for seating in your living room then consider using it as a place to store your flower vase so that it’s still accessible when people visit but also out of sight when not needed. A small bookcase is also great at storing any other items like batteries or remotes that don’t fit into any other part of their home because they’re too big or bulky than most common storage devices allow them too be stored inside them without causing damage such as getting crushed under other heavier items like books or DVDs stacked up against one another which could cause cracks on both sides if both are pressed together tightly enough over time.”

8. Install shelves at the top of your closet for seasonal clothing, luggage, or whatever else you need to store but rarely use.

9. Keep fresh flowers around in a vase on the table or windowsill, or even in a glass jar by your bedside table or kitchen countertop. You can also add flower vases filled with colorful artificial stems if you don’t want to keep buying fresh flowers every week or so!
