To begin with, you should optimize the use of built-in wardrobes and mezzanines. They are often cluttered with unnecessary things that can be painlessly thrown away or recycled.

Shelves and drawers of closets should be filled with containers of identical items - for example, on one shelf store bed linen, on another - sweaters, etc.

It also makes sense to use organizers and dividers in closets. This will allow you to create perfect order and make it much easier to find the things you need.

Instead of keeping your shoes in a pile on the floor of your closet, it's better to buy special organizers and sort them by season, color or style.

To free up space in the rooms, it makes sense to use vertical space as much as possible. Shelves, racks, hanging structures are a great way to place decorative elements and necessary little things.

For example, in the hallway you can hang a structure for storing shoes on the wall. And above the door - shelves for keys, hats and other frequently used things.

In living rooms, it is worth giving up bulky furniture. For example, it is better to replace a classic set with a sofa bed and a couple of light chairs.

Bedside tables and nightstands can also be removed - their functions will be performed by hanging shelves. Mirrors in a thin minimalist frame will take up much less space than classic furniture mirrors.

The optimal solution for a small kitchen would be built-in cabinets and shelves instead of bulky kitchen furniture.

Built-in appliances also save space. If the layout allows, it is better to replace the kitchen set with an island solution - this will make the kitchen visually more spacious.

When it comes to storing things, vacuum bags for clothes, containers and boxes come to the rescue. Bulky seasonal items that you don’t use every day can be packed in bags and placed on the mezzanine or in the lower sections of closets.

Also very convenient are collapsible containers for linen, clothes, shoes and other small items.

They can be stacked on top of each other like cubes, which saves space.

Plastic jars and boxes with lids are ideal for storing seasonal items and decor - they protect from dust and take up little space.

In general, to save space in a two-room apartment, you need to get rid of unnecessary things, think through the optimal furniture and use all available methods of compact storage.

The main thing is to show a little creativity and choose solutions that best suit your layout and needs. This will allow you to create coziness and comfort even in a small apartment.
