Turn to flexiblefurniture with built-in storageto hide bulk items.
However, in small spaces, it can sometimes be necessary.
Bring in a floor-to-ceiling bookcase orhang floating shelvesto store books, bathroom products, or barware.
Or turn a slim shelving unit on wheels into a perfectly organized pantry.
For a small office, choose a wall-mounted desk alongside a file cabinet that doubles as a bench.
This allows small items to be hidden away until needed.
I’ve seen it all too often, so I highly recommend that you be intentional about your purchases.
That said, organizing products can greatly improve the amount of space in your cabinets and closets.
Additionally, mastering the art of file-folding your clothing in drawers or baskets will also maximize space.
Get into the habit of regularlydecluttering your things.
Block off a half hour on your calendar once per season to go through skincare and makeup.
