How to organize a small space: three rules that work
Use vertical space first
Floor space is limited, wall and door space usually is not. Over-the-door racks, wall rails, tall shelving and stackable bins add storage without shrinking the room.
Give every item one home
Group things by how often you use them. Keep daily items at eye level, seasonal items high or low, and label containers so everyone can put things back.
Choose furniture that does two jobs
Benches with shoe storage, beds with drawers and ottomans with lids turn dead space into storage. See our hidden storage furniture picks to start.
