Probably only a very pedantic person, for whom everything in life has its own place, can boast in perfect order in the closet. For most people, the issue of storing things is not so significant; many do not ask themselves how to properly put things in the closet, they store them haphazardly.
It seems simple enough, but sometimes, due to improper storage, there is not enough space even in a large closet.
Meanwhile, things are a powerful carrier of energetic information about their owner, and by keeping them in an orderly manner, you can significantly change your life, get rid of the turmoil and adversity in it. Therefore, it is imperative to organize the storage of things in the closet and maintain order in it at all times.
So that all things are in in perfect order, and the space was not overloaded, it’s worth knowing a few simple but effective secrets.
Man is a very thrifty creature by nature, everyone is taught this from childhood, so in adult life everyone is very sorry to part with their favorite and not so favorite things. Having stored them for years on the shelves of a wardrobe, a person constantly convinces himself that maybe someday he will wear an old dress or lose weight to “fit into” his favorite jeans.
First of all, you need to conduct a global audit and go through absolutely all things.
But often, this is also confirmed by psychologists: “An item that has been gathering dust on a shelf for several years is unlikely to be worn in the future,” so after auditing your own wardrobe, it is worth getting rid of things that have not been worn for several years, forever.
It will take some time, but the result will pleasantly please you.
Important! Psychics vying with each other to repeat that it is absolutely forbidden to store broken, torn, worn-out things! You should part with them immediately, so as not to attract negativity, quarrels and financial difficulties.
If it’s simply a shame to throw away items from your wardrobe, you can always take them to a thrift store, and you can also earn extra money for new clothes.
It is better to immediately take dilapidated and old wardrobe items to a landfill or burn them.
Important! Each item stores energy information about the owner; loved ones, which they wear with joy, attract positive energy Those who are unloved or “forgotten” take away this energy.
Getting rid of unnecessary things, or organizing an audit of things in the closet
To begin with, you need to take out all the things without exception from the closet, both seasonal and not, then you need to:
- Carefully check for wear, stains, holes and other damage;
- Set aside items that are worn constantly, separately those that have been worn several times or are inappropriate in size, and, of course, those that have not been worn for a very long time (1-2 years);
- It’s much easier with children’s things; those that the child has grown up need to be distributed to families with children or sent to the attic if more children are planned.
Those things that still cannot be thrown away must be placed in a separate box, and if after a while you don’t remember about it, then you can safely get rid of them.

Useful little things and accessories
There are many devices that can make your life easier and distribute things around the apartment. Hinged pockets can be placed on the inside door of the cabinet and even on the wall. They seem funny and cute, but are actually very roomy. This accessory will help you clean up your home, because you will always know where combs, creams or playing cards are.
They can be used to store cleaning supplies and even shoes. It is ergonomic and very comfortable.
A perforated stove in the kitchen will allow you to do without spacious cabinets. Pans and pots will always be at hand. And the railing located above work surface, will become great place for storing spices, cutlery and other important small items.
Pay attention to medium-sized wicker baskets. They will look great both on the floor and on shelves. You can put any little thing in such a basket: from lipstick to a children's toy forgotten on the sofa. The apartment is tidy, and you know exactly where to look for a lost item.
The main rule for the entire apartment is not to forget about such rarely used places as corners, the space under the ceiling and above the door, as well as places under the bed and under kitchen cabinets. How to store things in a small apartment? Use multi-functional folding furniture and things like banquettes, ottomans, lift-up beds, furniture and storage units on wheels. Wherever possible, store items vertically so they take up less space.
Ideas for small apartments: kitchen
This is where soft hanging sections come in handy, which can be found in abundance in stores and can even be sewn yourself. For example, this one is for a small tabletop dishwasher. 
Storing spices in the refrigerator is very convenient. Firstly, you don’t need to look into drawers or reach for lockers; you can immediately see what you have and what you’re running out of. Well, the main problem is solved - the space on the shelves is still free!
Look how much you can fit on just one refrigerator wall!
If there is a small space between the refrigerator and the wall (15 cm is enough), you can build a retractable rack by screwing it to narrow shelves furniture wheels and attaching a handle to one of the sides.
You can also arrange a cabinet for kitchen sink. Hang two rods on lightweight curtain brackets, which are sold in hardware supermarkets, to place spare garbage bags, and if necessary, spare ones paper towels.
Paper holders made of metal mesh are a convenient replacement for large vegetable baskets.
Another option is to store vegetables in hanging laundry bags, which can be placed in any suitable place simply by hanging it on a hook.
If you have very little table space in your kitchen, don’t forget that there are options for folding tables. And the most compact ones are those that are attached to the wall. They do not take up space on the floor either unfolded or folded.
When there is little space, you need to use any suitable surface. Is there a free wall of the cabinet? Great! Screw a light rail to it, buy a few S-shaped hooks and store kitchen utensils.
And, of course, a small kitchen cannot do without a magnetic strip. And you can place not only knives on it, but also any other metal kitchen utensils. The meaning is very simple - there will be more free space on the countertop.
Always try to buy items that are more compact and also ones that can be folded. For example, such a folding grater is just a godsend for a miniature kitchen.
And one more great example. Is the cupboard too narrow to fit everything? Screw a few hooks to the shelf and you will have another row of dishes for mugs.
Ideas for a bathroom in a small apartment
Remember multifunctional furniture? It is needed in almost any bathroom. Flipped over bar stool, for example, turns into a shelf for cosmetics and a heated towel rail. 
Each room has free space above the door. It must be used for shelves (open or closed). But don't forget that open shelves should look neat, and if they are filled with too many things, it will feel cluttered. To hide such clutter, place several closed boxes on the shelves and store everything in them. Little advice: When you buy towels for the bathroom, you don’t need to choose all the colors that you like. Stop at a certain range and one or two colors and always stick to them. This will make the room look tidier.
And again we use hooks and rails. Photo on the left: With one hook on the wall you can build an entire hanging shelving unit. We use several IKEA buckets held together with clothesline. A great place for makeup brushes, combs, curling irons or curlers. Photo on the right: no place for towels? Attach them to the bathroom door. Moreover, you can use not only the upper part door leaf, but also the bottom!
Small bedroom ideas
What if the room is so small that there is only room for a bed? We take the idea from the kitchen and place a hanging table next to the bed. We get: a shelf for things you need at hand, a desktop for your computer and coffee table for breakfast in bed! 
Instead of bedside table, for which there is no room, you can use hanging sections, securing them to the base of the mattress using adhesive tape.
