    I live in a very small apartment, so my tip is that instead of creating more storage, get rid of all the extra stuff that you really don't need or like. without the excess stuff it's easy to keep you home clean and clutter free and you don't need to think about how to add storage space.

      Okay, but I reckon families will need their stuff if they are saving for a house. For example I have extra chairs right now and I will use them when I have more space - I won't waste money on a storage unit and it would cost me more to buy new ones when we move, so there's that.

      @@FurnitureFan if you know you will absolutely have use for something, then keep it! but for example, if you have 4 identical hammers you can get rid of few. if you have clothes that are broken or way too small. if you have a kitchen appliance that is broken or you just never use it. we all have stuff that is never going to get used and they just take space that could be used otherwise. I'm not saying that you should toss everything but 100 items or whatever. just the stuff that you genuinely won't have any use.

    I love these guys' idea that a small apt has room for stairs! What planet are they living on?? My apt has 3 rooms - that includes the bathroom - and NO built in storage (except some pokey kitchen cabinets). Minimalism is the only way to make a space like that work - I'm still chipping away at all my stuff. It's kinda good to live sml - it forces you to make tuff decisions about your stuff

      I feel you're getting hung up on a point that's not even relevant. Its like you're criticizing the clip art and not just reading the sentence that the words intend to teach you.The b roll/found/used photo/stock image/general material/power point presentation just provides a reference point for the points list being made, and gives a general visual aid. It's not the be all end all.

    I tried the camisole hanger. It doesn't work well, because the camisoles keep sliding to one side of the hanger, and then the hanger tips and sometimes falls right down. Instead, buy yourself a tie hanger. It works soooo well for this and they aren't that expensive.

Hes definitely lower than a couch. Im 60 n there is no way i could use it. That being said- for $240 i could not have found a better option.

    I live in an apartment building that is over 50 years old. I have about 800 sq feet divided into
    living room,bedroom, galley kitchen and bathroom with ample closets. I had closet doors removed (The facility stored them) and installed invisible shelving in all the rooms. But I went one further than the video and installed a tension rod over my bathtub for drip drying clothes since most things do not require a dryer. There are 2 entrances to the galley kitchen so I also installed a set of shelves in the smaller door. I am too short to reach higher than the bottom shelf of my kitchen cabinets so I keep a collapsable stool every where there are high shelves and store seldom used items out of reach.
    enjoyed your video mostly because it reinforces stuff I already knew.

    These are mainly good ideas as I rent a small apartment and have learnt over time what’s truly handy and what looked better in the shop! I noticed that the first tip about the glass bathroom shelf showed small metal piping around it. This is a very handy corral to stop items falling off. Mine is just flat, like the shelves shown in the very last tip. Things often fall onto the floor. IKEA makes a white wooden screw-in shelf designed to support pictures etc. I recommend one of those for anyone who wants a secure small barrier at the front of a storage shelf. They can be cut into smaller widths too.

Slide out cabinets can be too heavy to slide as my neighbor did with making the opposite side of his sliding pantry into his bathroom door (it supposedly slides but doesn’t).
