By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Arizona Resource Realty BR518926000

Ingenious space-saving interior design, such as modern shelving, is all the rage right now, but we've compiled a list of space-saving ideas that won't require you to build or renovate your home!

 

Why not try something different instead of the usual yearly planner to get that sense of organization? With our space-saving ideas for you, you can break free from conventional notions of what it means to be organized. We promise to keep this lengthy list as creative and innovative as possible. Continue reading to begin your organizing journey!



  1. Multifunctional desk organizer

Desk organizer for pens? Desk folder organizer? Put them all together, and you have a multifunctional desk organizer! Say goodbye to cluttered desks that make it difficult to focus on work or school.



2. S-shaped hanger

 

Should I fold or hang my clothes? That is the problem. If you choose the former, you will have wrinkled tops. If you choose the latter, you will lose space. S-shape hangers are the ideal compromise because they maximize closet space like never before!



  1. Under-bed storage bin

Check for monsters under your bed—and make the most of that underutilized space while you're at it! Under-bed storage bins are ideal for storing winter coats and other out-of-season clothing that you will not be using at home.



  1. Ottoman storage box 

The best thing about ottoman storage boxes is that they have the appearance of a modern box chair. This is especially useful when unexpected guests arrive, as you can simply dump all the mess in the room inside this handy storage box!



  1. Collapsible bucket

Large water buckets are inconvenient to own. It is not only extremely bulky, but it is also nearly impossible to stack on top of each other. Fortunately, collapsible buckets can come to the rescue.

 

  1. Roll up sink drying rack

When not in use, simply roll the dishwasher up like a carpet! Its stainless steel can also be used as a fruit and vegetable drainer, making it both practical and convenient.



  1. Pocketed shower curtain

Modern shelving works well in the shower, but it often looks crowded because it takes up the entire corner space of the bathroom. Shower curtains with transparent or mesh pockets would be an alternative solution.



  1. Under-shelf hanging rack

If you can't afford to build modern shelving, make the most of the space above your shelves instead, especially if you have a high roof! To store extra toiletries and supplies, invest in an under-shelf hanging rack for kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

 

  1. Couch armrest tray

Living room tables are massive, taking up nearly half of the space. With a couch armrest tray, you can keep things like coffee table books and television remotes out of the way while watching Netflix.



There is never enough space—get organized today!

 

To summarize, there is never enough space. If you've been looking for a sign to buy a product that piqued your interest above, this is it! You continued reading because you are invested enough to take compartmentalization seriously. Get organized with our space-saving tips—and thank you in advance!
