Nowadays, when young people buy a house, most of them will not consider that the floor area exceeds 140 square meters. Firstly, large apartments often have dozens of square meters more space, and daily cleaning takes twice as long. The purpose of returning home from get off work is to relax and not to spend too much energy on wiping cabinets and moving larger spaces. Secondly, the housing prices in core areas are now under pressure. Many people prefer to keep their budgets within a controllable range and choose a compact small apartment.

Many people who live at home will encounter the same situation after living there for one to two years. The number of scattered items in the home is increasing day by day. As long as you don't pay attention to sorting them out, the originally small space will be piled up to the point where it becomes difficult to turn around. In normal life, you often want to find something. It takes a long time to rummage for the items you use, and the experience of personal experience is greatly reduced. If you can master practical storage methods, you can definitely make more space for activities with small operations, and the speed of getting items will be significantly improved. Even the daily housework that needs to be done can be much easier.
Make a full-function storage cabinet at the entrance of your home
When many people are renovating, they always feel that the entrance hall is just a few square meters of transition area after opening the door. There is no need to spend too much effort on designing and utilizing it. In fact, it is a frequently used place for daily entry and exit. It is also the easiest area to show off the effect of large storage space design in small apartments.
Don't follow the trend and build those fancy half-height cabinets, but directly install a shoe cabinet with a large capacity that reaches the top. Leave a 15-centimeter suspended position at the bottom of the shoe cabinet, and stuff slippers and pumps that you often wear daily directly into it. When you need to change shoes when you go out, you can reach them with just one hand, so that there will be no messy piles of shoes scattered all over the floor.
Hole-free hooks should be installed on the side panels of the cabinet to hang canvas bags and access keys that you carry with you every day. A shoe-changing stool with storage space should be paired below. The drawers of the stool should be placed with umbrellas, slipper covers, disposable shoe wipes and other small items that are often needed when going out. This way, you can neatly organize all the odds and ends you carry with you at the first moment after entering the door, and you will not randomly put them on the coffee table in the living room, disrupting the tidy order of the home from the beginning.
Extra storage space behind kitchen, bathroom and bedroom doors
What most people do when dealing with the area behind the door is to simply attach a sticky hook and hang two coats that are only worn once or twice and do not need to be washed. In fact, the utilization potential of this vertical wall behind the door is far more than that, especially in girls’ homes. There are many small household appliances, such as commonly used curling irons, hair dryers, straight irons, plus hoarded cotton pads, and manicure tools. Items that are taken out and used every day are conspicuous and take up space when thrown on the dressing table. If they are spread around the sink, they will get water stains and need to be wiped off every day. In this case, you can use a punch-free door storage rack and stick it behind the bathroom or bedroom door. All these high-frequency small objects can be placed neatly, so that they do not occupy the effective use position on the desktop.
Several layered fabric hanging bags can be hung behind the kitchen door. These hanging bags can be used to store aprons, hand towels, insulated baking gloves and other odds and ends. They extend along the height of the door and are hidden behind people without blocking people from passing by. This simply creates an extra piece of storage space without having to demolish the wall, saving space and eliminating the need to worry about packing.
Kitchen drawer partitions store enough scattered kitchen utensils
When making kitchen cabinets, many people directly make them into large cabinets with double doors. After using them for a period of time, they realize that no matter how they stuff things deep into the cabinets and pile a bunch of pots and ingredients inside, every time they need to find scissors and stainless steel spatulas before cooking, they have to bend down and reach into the innermost part of the cabinet to find them, which wastes a lot of cooking time.
The space under the kitchen cabinets of a small apartment is very suitable to be transformed into many layered drawers; install matching drawer storage dividers and sealed storage jars for grains; arrange all small kitchen utensils, tableware, and baking molds neatly in different grid partitions; when standing next to the stove, pull the drawer at will, and the items you need will be clearly displayed in front of you, and you can get them in an instant, so that the cooking process will be much smoother.
Placed in sealed jars deep in the drawer are those kitchen dry goods and condiments that are rarely used. They will not fall into the dust, nor will their debris be scattered all over the floor and in the joints of the cabinets. In this way, the workload of subsequent cleaning of the cabinets is directly reduced by half.
Balcony custom cabinets store unused bulky items
When planning the balcony area, many people only think of placing a washing machine, drying clothes, or at most setting up a small tea table next to it, but ignore this relatively well-lit wall. If a full balcony custom storage cabinet is installed, the cost performance is extremely high. Thick quilts that are not often taken out on weekdays can be replaced when the seasons change. The floor fans that came from here, the children's unused camping equipment, and the small sun heaters used in winter. Most of these large items that are very large and have low utilization rates can be stuffed into the balcony cabinets for storage, instead of being piled in the corners of the living room or under the bed in the bedroom, covered with a thick layer of dust and taking up space for activities.
Close the cabinet door on the balcony and look across from the living room. The entire wall of the balcony is clean and looks particularly bright. The cramped feeling caused by the original small apartment has been relaxed a lot. The vacant space by the window can also be placed with flower pots and green plants, leaving a small corner for standing and relaxing.
It is not about buying a bunch of storage boxes and stuffing things into them, but by planning them reasonably along the four existing small areas in the home that are often ignored. Without smashing the walls and making large-scale renovations, you can easily free up a lot of space in the home. In this way, the time spent looking for things is shortened, and there are not so many clutter that needs to be moved back and forth when cleaning. People can live comfortably at home, and life in a small apartment can be open and worry-free.
