How to organise storage in the flat: useful tips
Organising storage is an important part of a comfortable life. To avoid clutter, you should use modern systems that allow you to rationally distribute things and optimise space. Properly designed storage areas will help to create a cosy and functional atmosphere in the house.
Space zoning
The first step in organising storage is zoning. Divide the space into functional zones: for clothes, household appliances, accessories, books and other things. This will avoid chaos and make it easy to find the items you need. Optimal solutions will be wardrobes with sliding doors, mezzanines and built-in dressing rooms. They will help to rationally use the height of the room and hide seasonal or rarely used things.
In the living room it is convenient to place an open or closed storage system, using shelves, chests of drawers and hanging shelves. In the hallway, built-in wardrobes with shoe storage, hooks for clothes and drawers for accessories are relevant. In the bedroom and children’s room, drawers under the bed or beds with lifting mechanism will help to use the space efficiently.
Functional storage solutions
Modern furniture solutions can make storing things more convenient and efficient. Pull-out drawers with organisers and dividers help to keep things tidy and quickly find what you need. In the kitchen you can use sections with BLUM guides, and in the bedroom you can use cabinets with vertical shelves and pull-out baskets.
Sectional systems with coat racks, drawers and mesh baskets are perfect for storing clothes. Open shelves help to create a light interior, and glass cabinet doors visually lighten the space. Built-in lighting will not only make storage more convenient, but will also add a cosy touch to the interior.
Optimising storage in the kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most difficult spaces to organise. It is important to utilise every centimetre of space here. Suspended rails for kitchen utensils, cargo systems for storing spices and bottles, pull-out corner drawers – all these help to optimise space.
Cabinets with push-to-open systems eliminate the need for handles, and built-in organisers inside the drawers help to conveniently arrange dishes, utensils and small accessories. If your kitchen is small, we recommend using ceiling-high cabinets for extra storage space.
The secrets of perfect order
- Regular revision – get rid of unnecessary things, making room for important items.
- Ergonomic storage – place more frequently used items at eye level, less frequently used items above or below.
- Compact systems – vacuum bags and organisers help save space.
- Flexible solutions – modular shelving and storage systems can be adapted to meet changing needs.
- Utilise vertical space – hanging systems and tall cabinets help to maximise the height of the room.
Well-organised storage is the key to a cosy and tidy home. Use modern storage systems, thoughtful furniture solutions and practical accessories to create a comfortable and functional space. Regardless of the size of the flat, the right storage organisation will help to make the interior stylish, practical and comfortable.
