![]() ![]() Maximizing your storage space by using smart, well-measured organizers can help you to double your existing storage space without having to buy more units or expand your storage into another room. When working with a small space, decluttering will only go so far in helping you sort your stuff. FAQs How do I maximize storage in a small space? More often than not, I already have exactly what I need at home already. Not only does it help to keep clutter to a minimum, but helps me to respect what I do own a little more, and make do with what I already have in my storage spaces – whether it be my closet storage or small living room storage. My favorite tip is to take the 'less is more' approach. My Dad’s four simple storage rules for small spaces are the perfect steps to keeping even the smallest of cabinets neat, organized, and consistently functional – and, even though they are a little strict, they certainly make a lot more sense to me now living in a small rented house than they did when I was a child. It is a great decluttering tip to stay focused and organized at home – no matter its size. It may be that I give myself a larger treat, like treating myself to a nice day out if I successfully keep my storage system neat and functional for a few weeks without having to do a mass clean and reorganize. I like to use this throughout the week when it comes to keeping my small storage tidy. The trick is to put the good thing off just long enough to get the task at hand done. Now it is more along the lines of giving myself a reward when I have finished putting things away – even if that reward is just a chocolate bar I had been planning to eat anyway. This small rule of creating discipline has followed me into my adulthood. Many of us will have been familiar with a reward system when we were children – ‘if you finish your chores, then you can go and play,’ my dad would remind me every time I decided to put off tidying my room on a Saturday morning. ![]()
