5 super simple storage ideas for small apartments you knew but forgot

Storage to the ceiling
In this studio with an area of 25 square meters, there is a lot of simple and therefore genius solutions. For example, the refrigerator is separated from the main kitchen front and built into a large cabinet with common storage to the ceiling. This way, it was not necessary to "spread" small cabinets across the kitchen and create visual noise. And everything is in one place.

Put a transformer bed
Despite the modest area—just 32 square meters—it was possible to fit two sleeping places, a table-transformer, a full kitchen and even a sauna for two. Usually in small apartments under 35 square meters, the sleeping area takes up a lot of space. The client of this single-room apartment decided to sacrifice the double bed and placed a sofa-transformer instead. This made it possible to find space for a sauna—though only a compact 110×120 cm one.

Make a partition shelf
Despite limited square meters, this single-room apartment is equipped with sufficient storage systems. For example, the function of an open shelf was taken over by a partition made from gypsum board. Sports equipment is stored in a special loft in the corridor. The loft is another excellent solution when there's not enough space for storage.

Do away with the dining area if it suits you better
In this 33 square meter apartment, a bedroom, workspace, living room, kitchen, bathroom and wardrobe were all accommodated. A lot of space was saved by masking the dining table as a storage system in the living room. And they did away with the dining area.

Make a ‘loft’
