- We have six ideas for you.
In a small apartment, you have the advantage that you do less cleaning. At the same time, however, there is often no storage space where you can easily store your belongings that you do not use every day. This is often annoying, after all you have to pay extreme attention to the dimensions of each purchase and think about where there is still space for it. But don't forget: You can often easily create storage space.
Mucking out and weighing
Having to constantly think about whether there is still space can be exhausting, but it also has its advantage: it doesn't accumulate too much unnecessary ballast and you spend less money. It also makes it easier for you to separate yourself from things that have been done. Means: If objects have no more use but only take up space, it is time to throw them away.
Hanging options
If there is no more space in the cupboards, but there is still a stain-free wall, various hanging devices are available . For example, cups or oven gloves can easily be attached to a hook above the stove. But there is also a hairdryer holder that you can mount on the bathroom wall or towel holder * for the door.
Wall as storage space
You can of course expand the whole thing and attach more wall cupboards or shelves in the apartment. There are usually numerous free walls in the living room * or bedroom * that are suitable for this. You can then put books or everyday objects in them for which you no longer have space in chests of drawers or stand shelves.

Clothes rail instead of wardrobe
Of course everyone wants a closet as large as possible - or preferably two. But maybe with little storage space you should think about getting a clothes rail instead . They take up less space in the room, and some models also offer storage space on the feet. On top of that, you have the advantage that you don't mess up carefully folded clothing when looking for the desired top.
Furniture with storage space
If you move into a small apartment, you should have this in mind when choosing the furniture. For example, there are beds or sofas that offer storage space in the form of drawers . You can then put all sorts of odds and ends in it - and yet the room appears tidy.
Furniture with multiple functions
Is there no room for a desk in your apartment? Maybe it can be integrated into the closet. Would you like a small table in the kitchen? Perhaps a hinged table top can be attached. Often it only takes a little creativity - then you can also fulfill all your wishes in a small apartment.
