6 Designer Tips for Narrow Space Organization
6 Designer Tips for Narrow Space Organization
Storage may be the most inconspicuous yet practical area in the home. The goal isn’t just to keep things tidy but to make items easily accessible when you need them. Beyond the usual storage spots, are there other areas in the house that can be utilized without wasting space? Here’s what designers suggest:
1 Housekeeping Space
A slim cabinet beside the entryway, especially if it faces the dining area, is perfect for storing cleaning supplies. It keeps essentials within reach for tidying up both the entryway and the dining space. Additionally, it can double as storage for small items.
2 Open Bathroom Vanity
In smaller homes, installing an open storage shelf beside the bathroom vanity can optimize space, making it a convenient spot for toilet paper and cleaning supplies.
3 Refrigerator Side Cabinet
Use the narrow gap next to the fridge for a storage unit to hold snacks. It’s convenient for grabbing a bite after reaching for a drink. Just ensure it’s placed away from the refrigerator’s heat. Alternatively, opt for a drawer cabinet that’s affordable, easy to adjust, and simple to clean.
4 Bedside Table
Traditional bedside tables take up floor space without offering much practicality. Replace them with slim cabinets that save room while still providing space for essentials like glasses, cups, and lamps.
5 Island Storage
Kitchen islands already offer functionality, but adding storage on the sides can make them even more practical. Use this space for storing books, dishes, or miscellaneous items.
6 Narrow Corridor Cabinet
Long corridors can feel like wasted space if used only for passage. Install a cabinet at the end to store items inside while using the top as a display area for vases or decorative objects, enhancing the home's aesthetic appeal.
