Living in London can be expensive. Those who move to the city often choose to live in the tiniest of spaces to cut down costs. However, just because your space is small, doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of it. Often people in London find they have no space to store their belongings, however, you can still have a well organised place to live. With Store That’s Storage East London and other methods, you can optimise the space you have available.

Clear Any Unwanted Items

The first step to enhancing your space is to get rid of anything you no longer need. When it comes to small spaces, you can’t use the age-old excuse of ‘I’ll use this at some point’ and then put it in the misc drawer. Every inch of space in your London flat is precious and you should get rid of anything that is going to hinder this. If you can’t bear to part with these belongings, hiring a unit at Store That Storage East London might be the solution!

Utilise Your Vertical Space

Many London flats have little surface area to work with. First and foremost, make the most of your doors and walls. Doors can hold hooks which can be great for coats, bags, and other hanging items. Walls can be a great help if you’re allowed to put up shelves, if not, any shelving units you buy should have more height than depth. 

Never Underestimate a Basket 

Shoe racks and other smaller units often take up too much space in small rooms. To solve this issue, buy large baskets to place shoes in, or other items such as blankets. Keep the basket by your door out of the way but easily accessible. Baskets can be utilised for a whole range of things; from storing towels to handbags, they are extremely versatile, and can often fit in small nooks or underneath larger items of furniture.

Hide Your Storage 

There are lots of ways to get even more creative with your storage. One of the best locations to hide your storage is often under your bed. When purchasing a new bed for your home, choose an option with room underneath it, or buy a bed that lifts up and has built in storage. 

Top tip – Measure the space between the floor and bed frame before purchasing your storage boxes, wheeled boxes work best for this kind of hidden storage.
