Is Your Home Too Small? 5 Storage Tips, Use The Corners Of The Wall To Add 10 Square Meters

Many people always complain that their homes are too small and things are piling up more and more, making it difficult to even turn around.

In fact, it’s not that the house is not big enough, but that you haven’t found the right storage method.

I have been engaged in home tidying work for 5 years, and I have seen many situations where a 90-square-meter house feels as crowded as a 50-square-meter house. At the same time, I have also assisted in many cases, creating a transparent effect of 80 square meters for a small apartment of 60 square meters.

Today I want to share 5 gold storage techniques that have been tested by myself and are effective. You don’t need to smash the walls and renovate them. You can make your home 10 square meters extra by spending a few hundred yuan, as if “out of thin air”.

To get space upwards, the wall becomes a storage cabinet

90% of homes waste vertical space overhead and on walls.

The floor area is fixed, but the wall area is more than three times that of the ground.

Install a row of narrow-sided wall cabinets above the sofa in the living room, and control their depth within 30cm, so that books and ornaments can be placed without making the space look depressing.

The storage racks are installed on both sides of the bedside in the bedroom. They are punch-free and replace the bulky bedside tables. Mobile phones, glasses and bedtime reading materials can find places here.

Don’t leave it empty above the kitchen wall cabinet. Use storage boxes with lids to place pots and dry goods that are not often used. Once labeled, you can clearly understand them at a glance.

Items that can be placed on the wall must not be placed on the floor. The hair dryer and toothbrush holder in the bathroom, the keys and umbrellas at the entrance, and the cleaning tools on the balcony are all fixed on the wall with the help of hooks and hangers, leaving the floor empty and making the entire home feel refreshed in an instant.

The corners are transformed, and the blind corners become golden corners

Those neglected corners of your home are actually treasure areas for storage.

There is another little trick that many people don’t know: the space behind the door.

Install multi-layer racks behind the bedroom door to hang scarves, hats, and bags.

Hooks are installed on the back of the kitchen door to hang aprons and spatulas.

Hang a dirty clothes basket behind the bathroom door to keep it tidy without taking up floor space.

Furniture is multi-functional, one piece can be used for multiple purposes at most

The core of small apartment storage is "one thing for multiple uses".

Just choose the sofa With storage function Yes, the seat cushion can be opened to store seasonal quilts and thick clothes.

Choose when buying a bed high box bed , the space under the bed can hold 20 suitcases.

Choose a retractable dining table, which is usually used by two people. When guests come, it can be opened to seat 6 people.

Choose a coffee table with drawers and compartments to hide remote controls, snacks, and sundries.

What is particularly worth recommending to everyone is to buy a folding storage stool that can function as a stool in normal times. When the lid is opened, it can be used to place toys and various types of clothing. At the same time, it can also be used as a temporary seat when the number of guests increases. It only costs a few dozen yuan to deal with all kinds of big problems.

Classification storage method, everything has a home

The root cause of clutter is not that there are too many things, but that there is no fixed storage location.

Place them according to two different classification methods: "frequency of use" and "item category": items that are frequently used should be placed within easy reach, while items that are not often used should be placed in a higher or deeper position.

Items of the same category should be stored together, all skin care products should be placed in a drawer, and all socks should be placed in a storage box.

It is recommended that you use transparent storage boxes and partitions to divide the drawers into small grids, so that underwear can be placed in corresponding places, socks can be placed in designated places, and ties can be placed in appropriate grids. There is no need to rummage through boxes to find items in the future.

In the kitchen, drawer dividers are used to store tableware, knives, chopsticks and other items. In the bathroom, divided storage boxes are used to store cosmetics and toiletries, so they are neat, beautiful and easy to find.

Cut off items from the front and reduce items from the source

This is the most effective and difficult thing to do, but it is the foundation of storage.

Many people's homes are in a state of disarray. Ultimately, it is because they are reluctant to throw away items, and they always have the idea that "maybe they will come in handy in the future", so that it takes several years to put them away.

Please remember this simple and useful way to judge, that is, for those items that have not been used for more than a year, just choose to throw them away or donate them.

Organize your wardrobe regularly and remove clothes you no longer wear.

The kitchen throws away expired spices and broken utensils.

The study room throws away useless documents and old magazines.

There is a limit to the space in your home. Only keep those items that you really need and like, so that life can become easier.

In fact, storage is never simply about hiding things, but a way of life.

These five tips may seem simple, but as long as you persist in doing them, you will notice that not only will your home become more spacious, but your mood will also become more relaxed and joyful.

Don't pursue that kind of flawless perfection. Starting from now, start to organize a drawer, and then organize the entire room. Gradually, you will develop a love for this kind of orderly life.
