Open shelving is great, but how about positioning it to a higher point? This way, you utilize your wall for storage while still giving yourself space for decor and art. You can even wrap the shelves around the walls—in your living room, kitchen, and areas that are smaller yet, like the laundry room. 

A corner shelf is not only a crafty storage option, but also helps to define a room while adding interest. It can go in the study as an organizer for arts and crafts tools, in the kitchen as a spice rack, or in the bedroom as an extended closet for go-to wardrobe pieces.

Take a break from custom carpentry and opt for reliable wall hooks. They’re a quick wall storage solution and especially perfect for areas that aren’t as suited for elaborate designs, like small entryways, awkward staircase corners, and narrow gaps in between walls. Did we mention they’re wall-friendly too?

A pegboard is a board with holes you can place pegs or hooks on which you can hang practically anything, making it an efficient storage method for a small wall. Try using one in a room that typically stores many items, like a kitchen. Cooking utensils, small dinnerware and cutlery, and pantry essentials are all easy to reach for on a pegboard and help declutter cabinets.

Running out of space for your wardrobe? You can opt for an open closet instead and swap the furniture out for a hanging rod mounted between two walls. Add a raised shelf for hats, bags, and other accessories to top it off.

An accordion wall hanger is not only functional, but it’s also adjustable depending on the wall space you have or want to use. You only need to hang the accordion wall hanger and it’s ready to accommodate several items at once.

The standard swinging door doesn’t often come to mind as something that takes up much space, but the smaller a room, the more apparent this is. Eliminate the restrictions of a door that swings open and close, and go for one that slides instead. Voila! An instant space saver. 

Do you have a kitchen that feels cramped? Or maybe you have a closet or dining room that feels a bit restricted. Something as straightforward as removing the whole door can be an immense improvement. Convert it into an archway, connect two rooms, and open up the small space.

There’s another way to use the door for organization besides changing it and removing it. The back of it is great additional space for the last wardrobe pieces you reach for as you head out, like a hat, purse, or sunglasses.

Often, it’s not so much that a small space becomes cluttered as it tends to become visually cluttered. While floating furniture, like this levitating desk, might fill up an area in a similar way something with legs does, it frees up the space significantly in the aesthetic sense.

If you’d like to decorate a space, but there’s no room outside of your cabinets and shelves, then how about a painted cabinet? Disguise a spice cabinet in the kitchen or a medicine cabinet in the bathroom by having it painted or covering it with a print or wallpaper, and no one would know better.

Up for one more elaborate project idea? A big television screen can take up a lot of wall space in a small living area, but what if you could hide it when it’s not in use? Custom-built cabinets inside the wall such as this one, which can be motorized to extend the TV, might be worth considering.

The solution to a tiny bathroom with limited space for bathroom essentials is a mirror and shelf in one. This also makes it easier to put little decorative accents and items in a room that’s usually an afterthought decor-wise.
