Renting small apartments presents unique storage challenges, often with limited options. Creative thinking can reveal unexpected storage spaces. Utilizing areas like under furniture is a key strategy for renters. Important items such as off-season clothing, bedding, and documents can be stored in those overlooked areas. Elevating nightstands and dressers with risers can further enhance storage capacity, encouraging renters to optimize their available space without making permanent changes to their rentals.
"When tight on space, you have to think vertically and creatively," says Jenny Dietsch, founder and CEO of Getting It Done Organizing. "Renters often overlook some of the easiest wins because they assume they can't change their spaces due to what's in their lease, but there are so many ways to optimize storage without making a single hole in the wall."
The space under furniture is gold," Dietsch says. "You can store everything from off-season clothing and extra bedding to important papers and documents - even board games and puzzles can be stored under your furniture."
Diving beneath beds and sofas is an obvious choice, but Dietsch recommends thinking beyond them. "Nightstands, dressers, and even benches can be raised with risers to create more storage options."
