Tips to Remove Clutter to Create a Healthier Home

With today’s real estate prices, more and more people are choosing to downsize or stick to small apartments. This cost-saving measure brings other benefits, too, such as minimizing cleaning and maintenance and forcing you to ask yourself if you really want that object before you buy it. It also means you need to get creative to maximize the space you have available! This can be important to help you maximize wellness.

Luckily, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel or go minimalist to live in a home with limited square footage. These types of housing have been around for centuries, and the tricks that worked, such as swapping permanently placed beds for hideaway Murphy beds for sale, then can still work for you now!

Follow these 10 small apartment hacks, and enjoy the advantages of cost-efficient spaces without the downsides of cramped living.

1. Murphy Beds

These tried-and-true marvels of space-saving technology have gone through significant evolutions since their early beginnings. The first “wall bed” is attributed to a man named William Lawrency Murphy. Back in the very early 1900s, Murphy wanted to woo a young lady, but the customs of the time forbit courting in a bedroom,and he lived in a one-room apartment. He created a way to house his bed in his closet, turning the rest of the room into an acceptable parlo, and the Murphy Bed was born!

But far from the uncomfortable and narrow beds of that time, today’s Murphy beds are stylish, comfortable, and easy to seamlessly integrate into tight spaces.

2. Door Hangers

Vertical space is often the most-wasted room in our homes, but hanging shelves isn’t always an option if you’re renting. However, you can easily make use of the vertical space on every entryway with over-the-door hanging organizers. Just be sure to see how tight the space is between the top of the door and the molding, and use hangers that are slim-fitting enough for it to open and close.

3. Ottomans

Ottomans, also called poufs or footstools, are a versatile way to add extra seating without taking up a lot of room. Look for ottomans that match your living room furniture and decor and have removable tops for hidden storage. Use yours as a footstool when you’re watching TV or a surface to work and eat when you’re in between guests!

4. Storage Containers

Instead of piling up linens, spices, and other items that get bulky, use baskets, storage containers, or bins to combine like products into one confined area. Using stackable containers maximizes vertical space, too!

5. Foldaway Kitchen Tables

The bedroom isn’t the only place where your furniture can be tucked out of sight until you’re ready to use it! Foldaway kitchen tables are trending as a stylish way to have seating and space to enjoy meals with friends and family without a large, permanent fixture taking up much of your dining room or kitchen.

6. Decorative Storage

Decorative bins and baskets can be left on surfaces to corral clutter without looking like they’re storage catchers. Rather than keeping your remotes, chargers, spices, or kitchen gadgets on the counter, house them in decorative containers.

7. Corner Storage

As you look around your room, you may notice that you’ve maximized much of your wall space — that is, all except those pesky corners. Sliding furniture against the edges of a room can only go so far. For those corners that resist use, look for storage solutions designed to slide into tight edges.

8. Under-the-Counter Solutions

What’s under the sink is another often overlooked (or underlooked) space. Since the plumbing can disturb regular storage bins and the moist, dark environment is a deterrent to storing sensitive items, you may leave this area empty. However, if you make use of the space with products designed especially for these tighter nooks and crannies, it could be the ideal place for cleaning solutions, toilet paper, and other objects that are better off tucked away.

9. Furniture with Exposed Legs

Let’s face it. Your couch, dresser, and bed (unless you have a Murphy bed) take up substantial real estate in your home. But there’s nothing you can do about it, right? Well, maybe there is! If you look for raised furniture with exposed (higher) legs, you can use that extra space underneath to store more of your belongings.

10. Extend-a-Coffee-Table

In addition to the other space-friendly furniture on our list, it’s exciting to add the newer trend of extended coffee tables. These handy accessories look like regular coffee tables, but they can be raised to access levels of interior storage! It’s a “sneaky” way to hide clutter and keep your living room clean.
