small living room area - Apartment living

Having an organized home not only reduces stress but also improves the quality of our lives. If your home is a small apartment like the one I'm sharing with you today, then, having it organized is even more important!

Last year I went on a few trips to our closest Ikea and I finally got to upload the pictures I took of the little apartment they designed within the store. I found it so beautifully designed and decorated, and I especially liked the many ways in which storage was added to this tiny space. I have to say, it's storage that looks good!
For this post, and looking at the wonderful job the designers did with this space, I came up with a list of 30 clever and beautiful ways to bring organization to a small apartment or home!
