When decorating and designing a compact dwelling, it is crucial you think about the furniture and storage that will accompany your home. Storage is an oft-neglected necessity within an apartment or small abode, but it contributes hugely to the overall functionality of the property. Without adequate storage space, individuals often find their homes filled with clutter, mess and in a chaotic state. Luckily, this can easily be mitigated through the use of clever and innovative storage.

To provide you with a few ideas, inspirational examples and stylish options, we’ve gathered 8 different demonstrations of clever interior storage to suit a range of small homes. Check them out below to ensure your property is highly functional, sophisticated, and of course, clutter free!

1. The bedroom closet

The bedroom closet is essential for holding all of your intimates, your clothing items and apparel, and often some of your bedroom linen too. 

However, in a small home, it can be extremely difficult to find a suitable space for a closet or robe. Often the largest piece of furniture, second only to the bed, a wardrobe takes a huge amount of room away from the sleeping quarters. 

In this example we see that the built-in robe works in conjunction with the bed, instead of on its own. Additionally, extra space has been placed underneath the bed, perfect for holding linen and sheets. 

2. Handy under-dining room table storage

Similar to the aforementioned under-bed storage, the designers of this space have opted for a dining platform. This platform offers a traditional eating area, while the area underneath can be used to store domestic miscellany. 

In this instance, the space under the dining area has been built to accommodate the owners camping goods, which would normally be a bulky household item to store..

3. Taking advantage of space

Here designers have maximised every inch of wall space to create a room that looks and feels great. In this compact home, storage space was limited, and so the wall areas were employed to house modular cabinetry. 

Inclusive in this design, we see a neat workspace, and plenty of cube-like sections that offer an area to hold ornaments, accessories, and other household bits and pieces. 

4. Adding storage to the bathroom

When designing a bathroom, it is common to leave the toilet on its own wall, and away from the other utilities. However in this instance, designers have maximised space by working around the toilet to add plenty of shelving, and even a place for the washing machine. 

5. A harmonious television cabinet

Within the living room, we often see a reduction in storage options. This commonly means that one of the largest rooms in the home is limited in terms of its ability to provide handy and usable spaces to store items.  

In this living space, wall-mounted shelves have been added to provide a neat and use-friendly way to store media, books and other ornaments. This works brilliantly, and can be adjusted thanks to the movable shelving system. 

6. Making the most of under-stair space

Under-stair space is one of the most commonly neglected areas in the home. If you have a space underneath your staircase, consider rectifying your storage issue, but employing some neat, handy and totally usable shelves. In this example, the stair space leaves an area for the entertainment unit and television, as well as toys, books and games. 

7. Embracing the corners of a room

The corners, much like the under-stair space, are another disused area in the home. If your dwelling is compact, and you need to implement some innovative storage systems, look to the corners of your room to add a stylish and sophisticated alternative to traditional cupboards. 

8. Cafe-style living
