Saving on your budget means saving on space too, and with careful planning and clever storage hacks, you’ll be studio-apartment living like a pro! Take note of these storage tips for living in a studio apartment…

1. Be like Marie Kondo and discard everything that doesn’t spark joy
Before you move to a studio apartment, go through your belongings meticulously and throw out and donate anything that doesn’t spark joy for you. Be ruthless!

2. Minimize clutter in your entryway
Make use of studio apartment wall space and create a zone for your keys, bag and other drop-off items with a few simple hooks and a small shelf.

3. Be clever with the space behind the door
Maximize your bathroom and cupboard doors by adding a rack or hooks for compact storage of your jackets, accessories and towels.

4. Use wall space for hats and scarves
Using your accessories as decor is a nifty and cheap storage solution for studio apartments. Simply add hooks to your walls and hang your favourite hats, necklaces, and scarves. 

5 Make the most of vertical space
Creative storage ideas for small spaces can be as simple as expanding up! Install shelving in your kitchen and bathroom, and keep your most-used items at eye level.
