No matter the size of your apartment, you’re going to start noticing clutter over time. When you live in a luxury apartment like the Park on Napoli, the house design has been created in a way to minimize wastage of space, allowing you to organize better. With a few simple hacks, you can make Marie Kondo proud.

The tips below can help you prevent the build-up of clutter over time. You can also find ways to store items for easy access in small spaces.

Create Drop-Off Stations

As soon as you step into your apartment, you need a spot to

• slip off or switch out your shoes
• disinfect and plug in your electronics
• drop off your mail for review

A trunk with a cushion in your foyer will give you a spot to sit and a place to store extra linens, bedding and sweaters. A pretty basket can hold your mail until you have time to go through it. As well as collecting mail in one spot, try to pick one day a week to go through your mail, pay your bills, and shred as necessary.

Raise Your Bed

If you have the budget for it, a captain’s bed can be a wonderful place to store casual clothing. Jeans, socks, and sweatshirts can all be folded and stored in drawers under your bed. You can DIY a captain’s bed with rolling bins that will hold these items.

For minimalists who have enough space in their closets for all their clothing, the space under the bed can be an ideal spot for stockpiling extra supplies. Inflation challenges may have you looking for spaces to store extra groceries. Invest in low or short bins that you can stack under your bed and set them on carpet glides for easy moving. A large bin full of canned goods will be impossible to slide; smaller bins on glides will be easier to maneuver.

If you’re storing food products in unique locations, make sure you put a date on the tubs so you don’t forget them. Add a string of battery-operated LED lights along the bottom of the bed frame that you can turn on when you’re “shopping” from your temporary pantry.

Use Folding Furniture

A folding murphy bed can turn a bedroom into an office or a lounge when you need one. To work well around a murphy bed, make sure that the rest of your furniture is quite mobile. For example, if you work from home, your rolling office chair will work well in the space when the bed is folded up. Lounge chairs that you have to slide around will not be convenient over time.

Another option is to leave your bed down and have a folding desk. When folded, a folding desk offers a very small shelf for storage. If you can’t manage with that small amount of storage, consider adding a hanging basket or lipped shelf beside your fold-up desk.

Invest in Movable Screens

Another tip for those working from home is to add a portable screen around your workspace. For those with roommates or families, putting up your screen means that you need quiet and to be allowed to work. Add a whiteboard and a bulletin board on your side of the screen where you can track work-related data and post a “back by” clock on the outside to let your children or your spouse know how long you’ll be unavailable.

When the workday is done, close your computer, fold up the desk and close your screen. If you have a work cell phone and a personal cell phone, mute the work phone and put it on the charger. Stop working at the end of your shift!

Decorate With Usable Items

If closet space is very tight, empty your extra bed and couch cushions and load them with down vests and jackets. The pillows will be puffy, and you’ll have more space to hang your shirts.

Put your prettiest bowl or a handled basket on the counter and load it with shiny apples and bright oranges. Having room temperature produce readily available will remind you to snack first on fruit before you reach for junk food.

A small or undersized apartment can be a lovely spot with just a bit of organization. Do be careful to check the weight tolerance on your storage tools; a storage ottoman can be a wonderful spot for towels and blankets, but if you load it with canned goods, the bottom may sag over time.
