Any home can easily be overrun by clutter, and all the more those with smaller spaces.
But don't fret, because there are ingenious ways to carve out nooks and crannies to place your stuff and keep them out of sight. Here are 5 sneaky places to hide ugly but necessary stuff according to Trulia:
Artwork on hinges
Do you have awkwardly located cable outlets, thermostats, or circuit breakers? Those eyesores could totally kill the vibe of your space. Hide those ugly sights with the help of an oversized painting on hinges that doubles like a medicine cabinet.
Stowaway laundry drawer
Is your space too small to fit a closet? Designer Jeremy Levine has found a solution for this with his storage units that are built on the floor. Sounds cool, right? You will create space for your stow supplies and spare equipment without taking up any square inch of your already limited floor space. You will literally make those eyesores invisible and nobody would even know they are there.
Over-the-door organizer
Space above doors is usually abandoned and left useless. But with over-the-door organizers, that abundant space can be used to house your shoe collection or if in the bathroom where there is usually little to no space for a cabinet, the space can be used to store hair tools, cleaning supplies, or beauty products.
Platform storage bed
The bed is one of the biggest pieces in any bedroom and it is obviously taking up a significant number of square feet. To make the most of this eaten up space, installing built-in drawers will make the bed multifunctional as it will not only serve as your place for respite, but also a functional tool to tuck away knick knacks that could easily overrun your small bedroom space.
Hanging files
Hands up if your countertop is covered with unopened mails, Home Depot catalogues, and magazines. With a limited space, every square inch is important, and your countertop should always be free to use. A hanging file organizer to place your mails, magazines, and papers will deal with your piles of printouts from getting out of control.
