"Home life can be a challenge if your dwelling is lacking on square footage. Sure, you love your urban apartment or sweet starter home, but cramped quarters and a lack of storage space can leave your living area feeling stressful and unorganized. No matter how small your home or apartment is, a bit of resourcefulness can easily help you kick the clutter while making your humble abode look bigger, brighter, and more welcoming."
"Sometimes a book can end up damaged, loved to pieces, or end up taking up space in your home. If you don't feel like donating the books to a library or the like, another possible use is making a customized knife caddy. Follow the instructions from Town & Country Living to turn your old copy of Anna Karenina into a home for your knives in the kitchen."
"2. Office Paper Holder From Cereal Boxes Surprisingly, most large cereal boxes are the perfect size for storing paperwork or folders in the office. Follow the instructions from Rustric Crafts to turn your cereal boxes into a decorative paper holder for the office. Get organized by reusing your breakfast packaging. 3. Sew and Rope Delivery Box With a little elbow grease, the packaging from your mail can be remade into a homey storage box."
Small homes benefit from creative DIY storage made from reused materials to reduce clutter and increase perceived space and light. Projects include turning damaged books into a knife caddy, converting cereal boxes into decorative paper holders, sewing hemp rope-covered delivery boxes from mail packaging to store cards and toiletries, and transforming broken acoustic guitars into wall shelves. Old plastic bottles can be cut and hung for versatile storage. Simple tools and common household recyclables—books, cereal cartons, shipping boxes, rope, fabric, and bottles—can be repurposed into attractive, functional organizers that maximize storage in tight living spaces.
