Creative Storage Systems for House and Holiday Cottage

The mess in the closet does not always mean that the person is lazy. Often the reason lies in the initially incorrect organization of clothes storage.
Those things that do not fit into the closet are very convenient to store behind the head of the bed. It is quite possible to put cabinets or baskets there and attach small hangers: for example, for scarves, neckerchieves or belts. You can also keep shoes or hats behind the head of the bed.

Well, this is quite a paradise for bookworms!

This is going to fit in everything you need for laundry.

A truly timeless idea that deserves close attention! Wooden cabinets will help out in almost any situation.
Choose those with their panels fitting tightly together. Combine sizes that suit for both sneakers and boots. You can also store piles of socks in small wooden boxes.

Bathroom Storage Ideas

The bathroom is the smallest room in the apartment, but it has high expectations because of the need to fit in as many various goods as possible. Cosmetics, towels, bath accessories, soap, personal hygiene items — the list goes on.

Here are some more interesting ideas for the bathroom!

Such a convenient and functional one!

Do not neglect the space of the balcony. Stop treating it like another pantry or a winter refrigerator.
Having made additional cabinets and shelves, and possibly putting a table and a chair there, you can add a lot of additional storage space to your apartment or arrange your own study!

If we talk about reasonable arrangement of a holiday cottage, anything can come in handy. For example, an old ladder staircase can become a reliable and most importantly convenient storage place. Or an old bike can turn into a designer shelf!

Such appliances will help keep things tidy in the children’s room.

The staircase which leads to the second floor or the attic also has unlimited possibilities for storage.

These ideas will come in handy to anyone, because everyone can find a bit of room for functional furniture in the house. Such furniture will help you finally tidy up your things and rationally use apartment space.

Like many people nowadays, I love to explore new places. My favorite type is slow travelling, when you can really blend in with locals and learn about new cultures and languages. But I think there are also perfect times for enjoying freshly baked pastry, a cup of fragrant coffee, and a good movie in the comfort of your own home. I guess I'm kind of a cultural omnivore, and I watch different types of movies, but the ones about art and food inspire me the most!
