Whether you’re in a spacious two-bedroom or a cozy studio, making the most of your apartment space is key to comfortable living. At The Gallina Companies, our thoughtfully designed floorplans are crafted for efficiency, but a few clever tricks can take your organization to the next level.
Here are some renter-friendly storage ideas to help you declutter:
Living Room
- Use Multi-Functional Furniture: Ottomans with storage, lift-top coffee tables, and couches with hidden compartments are smart choices for maximizing space.
- Vertical Storage: Add tall bookshelves or freestanding ladder shelves to store books, décor, and essentials without sacrificing floor space.
Kitchen
- Tension Rod Organizers: Place a tension rod under the sink to hang cleaning supplies or use it in a pantry to hang utensils or mugs.
- Magnetic Strips & Hooks: Stick-on magnetic strips can hold knives or spice containers. Adhesive hooks add storage without damage.
Bedroom
- Under-Bed Bins: Invest in rolling bins or vacuum-sealed bags to keep seasonal clothes, shoes, or linens tucked away.
- Over-the-Door Organizers: Great for shoes, accessories, or bathroom products, these help keep things off the floor and out of sight.
Bathroom
- Shower Caddies & Suction Shelves: Store your toiletries without drilling or cluttering your vanity.
- Slim Cabinets or Carts: A rolling cart fits perfectly between the toilet and vanity, offering extra space for towels, TP, and more.
Closets
- Double Rod Hangers: Turn one hanging space into two for shirts and pants.
- Shelf Dividers: Stack sweaters and bags more neatly and avoid avalanches every time you reach in.
At The Gallina Companies, we believe well-designed homes should work with your lifestyle—and your storage needs. Looking for a new place that fits just right? Explore our communities and find an apartment that’s as smart as it is stylish.
