Owners of small apartments are forced to save living space. But it should be noted that savings are not always effective. To make more efficient use of the available space, you need to think through everything down to the smallest detail. If your imagination and design skills are not very developed, then our article will be especially useful for you - in it we will tell you how to save room space and not miss anything.
Space under window sills
As a rule, the space under the window sills is often empty - haven’t you thought of using it wisely yet? On the balcony you can build a mini sliding wardrobe and store all sorts of small things and tools in it. Such “cabinets” are good because you can hide things in them that you don’t want to show to others, as well as anything piercing and cutting - the child is unlikely to guess what is hidden behind the facade.

Mirror with a secret
You've probably seen more than once in films how heroes open a mirror, and behind it a cabinet with pills. You can build one too! The design, of course, requires professionalism - call the repairmen, they will know what to do. Outwardly, it will seem that there is nothing behind the mirror, although in fact it will hide a secret. In a niche you can store household chemicals, tablets, books - whatever your heart desires!
Storing things under the sink
If there is empty space on the sides of your sink, it’s time to fill it urgently! Place racks on the sides - here you have a storage system for towels and other bath accessories. Extra cabinets in the bathroom are not always a smart idea as they can clutter up the space. But if you make a storage system at the sink, it’s unlikely to bother anyone.

Staircase library
If a person loves books and has hundreds of them in his collection, then he definitely needs to think about where to store them. A small closet or pantry is perfect.
In addition to the fact that shelves with books can be placed right up to the ceiling, you need to construct a staircase, between the steps of which books will also be located. All the free space of a small closet will be filled with literature, which you can choose for evening leisure without any difficulty.
Laptop shelf
If you don’t have the opportunity to install a large computer desk in your apartment, replace it with a minimalist folding table. Outwardly, it looks like a shelf, but when you unfold it, it turns into a mini-table. It, of course, will not replace a full-fledged table, but for a while this option will do. By the way, on this table you can not only work on your laptop, but also have a snack.
If there is absolutely not enough space in the room
Often the main reason for a small room is problems with organizing space. Just imagine a family with children; a stroller in a small hallway comes to mind, because it won’t be possible to leave it in an unguarded entrance. In addition to the stroller comes a large number of toys and other things that are necessary for the child. Such things make the room cluttered and create a feeling of cramping. It will be difficult without such things, but it will also be difficult to live with them. The answer is simple: no need to be upset, you need to try to make your apartment spacious.
There are several options that will help organize rational use of space in a small room:
- master the space in height - make a second tier;
- use transformable furniture;
- use as many angles as possible.

It is difficult to create all the conditions for comfortable living in a small house. It is hardly possible to imagine any living space without the following zones: sleeping area, bathroom, office, kitchen-dining room. However, even in the most compact apartment you can stylishly place all your essentials.
Secret shelving
If you are unlucky with the size of your kitchen and you don’t plan to move, it’s time to do something. Stop putting things on top of each other - in this chaos you simply won’t be able to find the things you need in a short time. There is a solution - a retractable rack on wheels. If you have a gap between the refrigerator and the wall (it can be created), make or buy a ready-made shelving unit on wheels. You can store products in it that do not spoil and take up space in cabinets: coffee, tea, sugar, etc.

Studio apartment
This option has been very popular among Khrushchev owners for a dozen years. This option is very convenient for a young couple or a bachelor/bachelorette. At the same time, it is possible to get a kitchen with a bar counter where you can turn around, and a spacious living room. At the same time, the bathroom is being expanded. The only “but”: this option requires official permission for redevelopment from the BTI.
Plastic containers
Owners of small-sized apartments have to make the most of the space. Haven't used the space under your bed yet? Be sure to do this! Containers are suitable not only for food - on Aliexpress you can buy plastic sets for storing small items, linen, clothes and more. This is especially true if you have a lot of things and your closet is literally bursting.
For reference: every year, conduct an audit of things to determine what is necessary/unnecessary. You will be surprised how much of what you have stored, you no longer need at all.
Roman curtains
Fans of classic curtains are unlikely to appreciate this idea, but those who support innovation definitely will! Roman blinds allow you to place a sofa right next to the window - this is difficult to do with ordinary curtains. In addition, such curtains visually make the room more spacious and voluminous. But you should also be aware of the disadvantages: Roman blinds do not provide complete blackout and accumulate dust, which is especially unpleasant in the kitchen. Curtains will have to be washed constantly. Are you ready for this? Then go for it!
