Small-Apartment Organization Finds That Solve Real Problems

For a small apartment, a useful organizer should either recover wasted space, hide visual clutter or make moving easier. If it does none of those, it is probably just another object to store.
Hide wall cables instead of decorating around them
A raceway can make a mounted screen look finished without opening the wall. Plan the route first and keep future cable access in mind.
Use door backs as shallow storage
Doors are especially useful for items that can tolerate vertical pockets and do not need deep shelving.
Add temporary closet shelves
Hanging fabric shelves can make a rental closet more useful without adding furniture.
Choose reversible upgrades
Clamp-on, hang-on and freestanding systems are easier to take with you when you move.
Buying rule: measure the actual space and check the current Amazon listing before ordering. Small-space products fail most often because the dimensions or mounting surface were assumed rather than checked.
