7 ways to save space in small apartments.
In 2017, studio apartments and simply small apartments in new economy and comfort class residential complexes occupy up to 70% of all apartments. And in every third interior project, Mossebo designers work with a studio or room of 8-9 square meters. The secrets of the competent organization of the space of a small apartment lie not only in the visual expansion of space, but also in creating places for storing things and saving space even on minimal elements.
In the interior of small apartments, many features must be taken into account - the compactness of functional areas, low lighting, but one of the main problems will always be the lack of space and storage areas. In classic apartments, people are "rescued" by pantries, mezzanines or large wardrobes. In the case of a studio, you have to choose: store things at home, get rid of the “extra” or rent storage space. We will discuss how to find a compromise between these solutions and save space in the apartment as much as possible.
Transformer furniture
To save space, the first and obvious solution is transforming furniture. The simplest examples are a sofa bed, an extendable table and folding chairs, but there are more original options. This is a mirror-shelf with secret drawers for storing jewelry or cosmetics, and hidden consoles with folding furniture. The use of such solutions is always associated with a compromise - so you should not choose a convertible sofa as your main bed if you are not ready to fold it every day.
Matryoshka furniture
Another focus is matryoshka furniture. Several pieces of furniture are inserted into each other and take up 3-4 times less space. This avoids the effect of clutter, while not using flimsy folding furniture. There can be many examples; the most common - benches, stools, coffee tables inserted into each other, but there are also original solutions - chairs hidden in a rack.
Compact nursery
If you need to fit a children's room into a small apartment, you can put a bunk bed.
At the same time, ceilings are desirable from 3 meters, otherwise the upper tier will be too close to the ceiling. If one child lives in the room, then a study or play area can be placed in the lower part. And if there are two children in the family, then both tiers will be occupied by beds. To ensure that each child has a personal space for privacy, you can install curtains on the sleeping places. Usually, such a bulky piece of furniture as a bunk bed is installed close to the wall or in the corner of the room.
Hidden handles and little tricks in the kitchen
The real problem is to organize a complete kitchen on extreme 6 meters. Namely, this is how much the kitchen occupies both in the old Khrushchev houses and in the new studios. You can save space by increasing its comfort. Therefore, the handles on the doors should not eat up space, and they should be replaced with hidden hinges and a click-on system. These doors open with a light touch.
The hidden light in the cooking area and in the dining area will also save money, because in a fresh repair there is nothing worse than portable lamps with a mountain of wires.
Window sill countertop
Using window sill space for a work area or kitchen needs is an affordable solution in all apartments where the wet area and window are properly located. It is worth recalling that a standard plastic window sill is not suitable for the needs of the workspace. The expansion of the window sill occurs due to the countertop, which can be wooden, stone, quartz or artificial stone. It is worth processing the joints with high quality and calculating the window openings, considering ways to protect against moisture and temperature extremes.
The space under the windowsill can also be adapted. The simplest solution is to slide bar stools into this niche, but you can also place larger items, such as a washing machine or dishwasher. Some use a window sill to accommodate the kitchen area, install a stove and oven, in this case, you can do without the hood and open the window when cooking.
Ergonomic zoning
Partitions can be used furnished when zoning space - these are special racks that take on the storage function. Such racks, as a rule, do not have a back wall, which allows you to get the necessary thing from each side. Most often, the shelf space is used to place decor items (candles, books, vases), but if you place decorative boxes or baskets, you can also use the area for storing household items (linen, towels, cosmetics).
Room within a room
In studios where more than one person lives, there is often a need to hide the bedroom area from the main space in order to provide privacy for sleeping. When there is too little space for this, you have to literally build a separate room around the bed. The easiest thing is to enclose the bedroom area with a thick fabric. Often they install dark partitions or build a whole box, but in this case, you need to carefully consider ventilation.
In studios with high ceilings, it is possible to add a second floor for the sleeping area. Under it, many place the kitchen, but in this case, all kitchen smells will rise to the bed. It would be wiser to place a working area or living room on the ground floor. To save space, the stairs to the second floor can be converted into a storage area by converting the steps into drawers or the side into a cabinet.
14 simple tricks to save space in a small apartment / AdMe
Reasonable disposal of free space remains one of the main tasks both in a small apartment and in large houses. After all, you really want everything you need to fit in a cozy family nest, but at the same time cleanliness and order are observed, and the usable area is not littered. Fortunately, there would be a demand, and the offer will appear, and there are opportunities to solve this dilemma for a long time. It remains only to show a little imagination and ingenuity.
We at ADME love original solutions that make life easier and more enjoyable, and most importantly at no extra cost.

4. Converted clothes dryer

The fold out dryer is quite bulky and takes up too much space even in spacious rooms.
So that it no longer gets in the way under your feet, you can build such a structure on the balcony - it will look more elegant and compact, and at the same time solve the issue of storing it, since it will fold up to the wall with one movement.
5. Corner cutting board will increase the worktop surface

7. Mirror with a hidden cabinet

The mirror can be not only a decorative element, but also a transformer behind which a shallow cabinet for medicines or accessories is hidden.
8. Reasonable use of space under the sink as an alternative to hanging and soldier cabinets
© Vimdecor
Agree, hanging or placing additional cabinets in a small bathroom is inconvenient, as it clutters up an already modest space. But you also need to fold bath accessories, including towels, somewhere. Take a closer look at where you have free space that you ignored, and try to put shelving there.
9.2-in-1 work table and vanity table

To forget about the problem of storing seasonal tires forever, allocate a place on the balcony for such a hanging iron shelf.
11. Eliminate clutter under the sink with drawers and a telescoping rod
© Hometalk everything neatly on a single shelf in a locker, you will never achieve orderliness.
And in order to use the space to the fullest and not look for additional space for all kinds of sprays, you can install a bar and hang them on it.
12. Shoe pouf - another place to store shoes
© My List Of Lists
The ottoman is quite a necessary piece of furniture in the corridor, but its usefulness will be doubled if you purchase the opening version. A plastic or cardboard structure is inserted into it with many compartments in which it is convenient to place shoes.
13. A cute shelf that converts into a small desk
© Across The Fence
Another way to make sure that the workplace in the house does not take up too much space. Of course, it is not suitable for freelancers who spend the whole day at the computer at home, because it is not as convenient as a standard desk. But it is quite suitable for short-term work at the computer.
14. Hidden rack on wheels for storing butter, canned food and cans

stored in the refrigerator itself and occupy someone else's place on the shelves with dishes.
