Built to Fit: Smart Storage for Small Spaces
MARCH 12, 2009
City dwellers get brilliant when it comes to fashioning cool, uncluttered spaces in less-than-palatial homes.
The crafty design minds at Apartment Therapy gather the best ideas in small space storage between two covers. Their book, Brilliant Solutions for Extremely Small Spaces showcases stellar storage maneuvers from the classic Murphy bed to a brilliant swinging wall between two rooms to shelves as far as the eye can see. For more inspiration, Unclutterer offers ideas like this space-saving folding kitchen island; Closets magazine may be your subscription to never having to live among chaos again. Looking for something more extreme? Like those funky, stretchy '80s separates, this 334-square foot Hong Kong apartment can be worn 24 ways.
If you're thinking locally, look for contractors who specialize in custom storage solutions. For some à-la-carte choices, Tiny Living is a tiny store with a big idea: Everything sold there lends itself to helping you feel at home in an itsy-bitsy space. And, of course, all roads lead to that get-your-stuff-under-control command center, IKEA—now a mere cab ride back home from their new Brooklyn digs.
