Have you ever moved into an apartment that was just right, and six months later realized that you needed more space? This happens often with me. As soon as I move into a new home I have to get some new stuff to fill it up with. It seems that I like to do this so much that my home swiftly fills up.

Sadly, I find that for whatever reason, I’m stuck in the new place for a while. On the plus side, this has made me an excellent organizer. With frequent practice and a lot of well laid plans, I’ve been able to store loads of stuff in even the smallest of places. Using a good shoe cubby, lots of shelving and a few other items, I can basically double my amount of storage space.

In this article, I’ll give you a few ideas you can use to get the most out of the space you currently have. Within this article you’ll learn about the shoe cubby and the different variations of it. In addition to this, you’ll learn about some other useful storage items you can use today.

One thing that has always plagued me is shoes. I’ve found that I end up having a whole army of them sitting near my front door. To combat this, I bought a bench shoe cubby. This item is essentially a bench that has compartments under it to store a whole lot of shoes. It is great because it tucks all of my shoes away and gives me something to sit on while I take them off.

A drawer cubby or a hanging cubby can also be used to store shoes nicely. The drawer cubby stores your shoes in slots contained within a drawer. This protects them from dirt and dust and is great for shoes that aren’t worn very often. When you want to make use of your closet, you can buy a cubby that hangs from your hanger rod.

Another great item to add to your storage items is the under the bed drawer. Wooden ones can be specially made for under the bed or you can simply buy plastic ones at your local Wally World. A nice bed skirt will hide the drawers so you can hide things in them too if you like.

Investing in some good shelves is a great way to turn your walls into storage containers. Place shelves in all of your rooms and you’ll find that you have all sorts of storage that you never thought you had.
