Does anybody have any organizational tips for living in a small home or apartment?

Question

me and my husband live in a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath duplex with very little storage space, no kids, 2 cats, any advice for organization?

Answer 1

My mom lives in a 2 bedroom apartment and she uses one for a bedroom and one for her "storage" room. She has lots of cardboard boxes wrapped in contact paper and stacked up on their sides and uses them for cubbie holes. She only keeps stuff sitting out like lamps, ashtrays,little flower arrangments,and stuff like that,so it doesnt look cluttered. She keeps all her stuff in her "storage room". She also only uses half her cabinet space in her kitchen for what few dishes she needs. a few plates, some silverware and about 4 glasses. That keeps down on dishwashing and she uses her cabinets and drawers for other things. Oh she uses alot of stackable bins in her bathroom too. hope I helped.

Get a rolling bakers cart for a pantry, about 6ft tall. Get a plastic truck box by Rubbermaid for the deck, and put things that can stand the heat and cold in it. Replace some of your cabinets with shelves. Use vacuum sealer bags for clothes and blankets that are not in season. Use a hanging rack for pots and pans. Install large medicine cabinets in the bathrooms.
