Your vent hood

Naturally, this might not work in every kitchen setup, but it’s still worth checking. You can tuck your large kitchen bowls and supplies into the cavernous space above your range for out-of-sight storage.

Put a tablecloth over it.

Sometimes, simplicity is really the best. This hack isn’t the most sophisticated, but it’s still the most feasible in a pinch. Throw on a pretty tablecloth, and buf! The clutter underneath won’t be visible to your guests’s eyes. We all know you will take good care of it after the guests are gone.

Sliding door

Sliding doors will bring you a double win: you can install a door organizer on them, and it will also save you a ton of space for other items since they don’t swing out.

Build it in.

Instead of simply protruding into the living space, you can build cubbies into your walls and install additional peg boards to easily hang your items.

Layer it on shelves.

Instead of going for a console, buffet, or any other piece of furniture with one large cavern, you can opt for shelving to maximize the storage potential of the piece.

Not all smoke and mirrors

Every bathroom has a mirror, that’s for sure. You can increase your storage space by installing a cabinet built behind the glass.

Give yourself a raise.

Any time you want to get a bit more storage out of a closet, you should go for risers. This way, everything’s much more organized than piling everything in and hoping you could dig it out later.

Rethink your vanity.

You can always put your vanity to good use, and make sure you go for one that will give you a place to stash towels, cosmetics, extra toilet paper, and any other essentials.

Floating shelves

Not everything has to hang from a wall, really now. Floating shelves are definitely a great way to get the needed storage space and still keep the aesthetic light, all while doing some heavy lifting.
