Continued from The Top 10 Organizers of Apartment Space

6. Stackable Plastic Drawers – look for drawers that can be customized. If you would only have space for a couple of drawers per room or corner, you wouldn’t have to worry of where to place that huge chest of drawers. Plastic drawers are cheap and can be stacked according to the kind of space that can accommodate it.

7. Hooks – hooks are very helpful especially when placed in the strategic places of your house. Use hooks for your coats, hats, umbrellas and bags. You can also use hooks for your keys, mobile phone, and ID card.

8. Shoe organizer – shoe racks are bulky and won’t even hold all of your countless pairs, while cabinets don’t have proper ventilation and would be more useful holding other stuff. Opt for the hanging shoe organizer, one that can go over your door or wall.

9. TV Shelf – the television is an essential home appliance and even houses with the smallest spaces give room for one. use the opportunity to buy a shelved TV rack, one that can hold not only your TV but as well a books, DVDs, magazines and the like.

10. Bed frame with drawers – this works like that of under-the-bed storage and it won’t collect too much dust.

1. Wall shelves – great for maximizing vertical space. Use your wall space from the floor to the ceiling.

2. Door storage – there is a variety to choose from: whether shelves or racks, don’t hesitate to hook space savers at the back of your doors.

3. Trunks – Trunks are big and they’re spacious inside: perfect for storing linen or old books and toys. You don’t have to worry about the space it occupies for it can double as a coffee table or as a mini bench.

4. Ottomans – are very much like trunks, only the other way around. They’re initially made for seating or as foot rests but they do have space inside that can hold stuff as well.

5. Under-the-Bed storage – go for the clear plastic ones that are especially made to be put beneath the bed. Store bed sheets, seasonal clothing and apparel and even tools that you don’t use often.

Some say that our homes reflect our personality. But what about busy buddies who work almost all day and have no time to fix their houses? I don’t agree that it reflects who you really are but rather what kin of lifestyle you have. But still, we need to fix our homes to make it more inviting for visitors that we can invite them for dinner or parties.
The very thing about house makeover is that you must know what you want it to look like. The themes of houses range from cultural, foreign, modern and a whole lot more. It is up to you what you want and what relaxes you. After all, houses are decorated to give comfort to the owner. Read more »

When you are having your house renovated, you will eventually find things that you would want to dispose of but before doing that think if they can still be utilized in one way or another.

Appliances. If they are still working then you might consider moving them to another place where they can be of use. If you are planning to buy new appliances, move them to the basement or garage.

Cabinets. They may be moved to another part of the house which requires space for storage. You can also store tools and other supplies to sturdy cabinets and place them in the garage.

The best way to go is that when household items are damaged or broken already beyond repair, throw them immediately to avoid clutter. You can also put up a garage sale. You’ll never know that what may be of no use to you, might be a treasure to other people.

Flexible Love

A single chair – that can seat up to 16 people? As hilarious as it sounds, the Flexible Love is indeed flexible to giving some love to standing people. Amazing how it can extend to accommodate 16 people, without having to worry later on if it will fit back to its normal place inside the house. Of course, it’s not everyday that you’d be having such number of people over but you just might, once they find out what an amazing furniture you have in your house. (They would love to check it out!)

Tagei

A graduate of Industrial Design, Akemi Tanaka came up with truly innovative convertible furniture. The Tagei is meant to be a regular coffee table on regular days but it can also be a special bench for special occasions. Bored with conversations over coffee? Extend the Tagei and punch up a party!

Mongga

Now that everyone’s seated, a table is in order. The Mongga, initially a solo elegant chair, can be transformed into a table. If all the munchies are gone, the Mongga can convert back into a chair for one more tired (and maybe tipsy) guest.
