Kitchen
Can organizers have been a lifesaver for me in small apartments since I can stack up. I've struggled with having super tall shelves with tons of airspace, so this helps make use of that.
Can Organizer
These shelves really just help you make use of empty air space. I unfortunately can't use them where I currently am, but I had them in the past and used it for seasonings and other commonly reached for items like olive oil so that I could keep it off...
HuggieGems 4 Pack Magnetic Spice Rack Organizer
Laundry & Cleaning
I like to have my cleaning supplies easily organized and grabbable. I store it all under the kitchen sink, so this can be carried to the bathroom or wherever when needed which makes everything so much easier.
Cleaning Supplies Organizer
I love my collapsible basket for laundry, but more so for groceries. I have always lived in apartments as an adult and only recently got a place with an elevator. I still only want to do 1 trip though, so having a bin to carry everything has been so ...
Collapsible Laundry Baskets
I don't always have a ton of laundry since I've just one person, so having something that I can bundle up and hide is so much nicer in a small space. I cannot stand clutter! :(
Collapsible Pop Up Laundry Basket with Handles
Bedroom & Closet
I love my storage ottoman, it can be used in the living room but I have mine at the foot of my bed. It's perfect for storing towels, bedding, and any other things I need a place for.
Huatean Storage Ottoman Bench with Seating
Having matching hangers is such a small but effective way to make even the most cramped closets feel more put together. This pack is a great value and comes in several colors - mine are in black.
Utopia Home Plastic Hangers 50 Pack Black
Stacked hangers are a huge space saver! I knocked my pants down from 10 hangers to 2 and was able to condense my closet similarly.
Closet Organizers 3-Pack Velvet Hangers
This shoe rack is very basic, no frills. I personally like that I can make it into 2 separate racks and have one in the coat closet for easy access as well. The hooks are super helpful for bags, so I don't need to find separate storage for them.
LANTEFUL 10-Tier Shoe Rack 20-25 Pairs Black
Under the bed storage can be great when used correctly, and it can always be covered up with a pretty bedskirt. I use mine for off-season clothing storage to avoid having to put heavy bins up high or paying for additional storage.
Budding Joy 90L Foldable Under Bed Storage
I love having a few cute, aesthetic bins for my closet. I have 1 designated for cold weather accessories and 1 for bikinis and cover-ups so I can store the off-season bin up high when I won't really be reaching for it and keep the other close.
StorageWorks Large Foldable Fabric Baskets, 3-Pack
Bathroom
These shelves are great for some additional bathroom storage. In my smallest apartment there was so little bathroom storage even for 1 person and this was a lifesaver!
GloTika 3-Tier Over Toilet Storage Shelf
So many apartments nowadays don't even have a soap shelf in the shower which is crazy, especially if you're sharing a space and you both have your own products. These shelves were a lifesaver to keep everything organized and off the tub so it stayed ...
EUDELE 5 Pack Rustproof Stainless Steel Shower Caddy
Etc.
A small home doesn't mean we have less electronics, but does typically mean fewer outlets so any power strips are super helpful and can also help save on your electric bill!
