Here are five creative ways to beautify and make the most of small spaces inside your home.
Face The Monster In The Closet

Isn't it our first impulse to throw everything into the closet instead of going in for a deep cleaning? A separate place for everything will be your new motto once you invest in a proper closet storage.
Ikea, Bed Bath & Beyond or The Container Store are great places to get started. Don’t hesitate to get creative and fill your home with DIY goodness in place of what you can’t buy. I'snt it about time you found a safe place for the skeletons in your closet?
Don’t Cut Corners

Especially if you’re still a renter, it’s easy to lose useful storage space when your furniture doesn’t fit into smaller places when you move. Use floating shelves to make maximum use of all your free space.
Feng Shui Your Walls

Sometimes the key to making more space on horizontal surfaces is organizing the vertical ones. Use corkboards, tacks, blackboards, magnets, ribbons and folder hangers in a decorative manner, liberating them from conventional spaces. These key tools will help you create practical and attractive spaces to keep everything from bills to birthday cards and favorite memories secure in one place.
Hide Under The Bed

Using the space under your bed frame for storage seems practical until you have to get down on your hands and knees to root around among the dust bunnies for misplaced stuff.
Investing in a dual-purpose bed frame is a great idea for saving tons of space in your bedroom and for making clean-up time a breeze, especially if you have children.
De-Clutter The Cabinet

The next time you open your pantry to a cascade of pots and pans or find yourself unable to remember where you left the pepper shaker, you might want to think about sorting your kitchen cabinets.
Get creative by using a magnet strip on the wall to hang your knives and put a rack on the back of a door to organize your spices. Try hooks inside the cabinet to neatly organize pots and pans for easy access too.
Get prepped for the holidays with these shrewd clean-up fixes and give your home a whole new user friendly feel.
