The apartment storage hack you need to use immediately

If your home is in a constant state of clutter, we may be able to help you get it under control with three simple words: wall mounted cabinets. These space-saving floating fixtures will help solve all your storage woes while leaving floor space for a roomier feel and easier cleanup. Plus, elevated storage will give you plenty of room to store even more miscellaneous items on a whim – such as stereo speakers under a TV shelf or house slippers under a cleverly-placed bedside cabinet.

Whether you’re trying to organize the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or your entire home, these uses for wall-mounted cabinets may help you find the inspiration you’ve been looking for.

Hang Them Where Life Happens

The best places to hang wall-mounted cabinets are in your most heavily trafficked spaces. Whether you spend the most time in your room, the living room, the home office or even the back porch, you’ll find that the extra storage space will help you keep everything picked up nice and neat.

 

Create a Functional Work of Art

By painting the cabinet doors with unique patterns and shapes, you can disguise them as art pieces and hang them as a focal point in your favorite room. In this photo, a small dining room gains extra space and added interest with artsy wall mounted storage unit.

 

Make a More Efficient Entryway

A high-mounted wall cabinet in the entrance of your home provides easy access to out-the-door necessities like keys and sunglasses. And on the way in the door, it can provide a convenient place to stash your mail and loose change. Let the cabinet blend into your interior design by surrounding with old photos, art, or decorative knick-knacks.

Recreate the Kitchen

You can use wall mounted cabinets to expand your kitchen in every direction. Hang them high for extra dish storage. Hang them wall-to-ceiling for an additional pantry. Or squeeze them in between, over, and under your appliances to fully optimize your space.

 

Expand the Bathroom

Wall mounted cabinets are particularly handy in the bathroom, where excess water has a habit of collecting on the floors and building up mold on lower cabinet shelves. By floating your bathroom cabinets off the ground, you can create an improved airflow that will help with your storage needs as well as keeping that pesky mold away. 

 

Levitate Your Home Office

Combining a mounted cabinet with a mounted shelf will allow you to squeeze your home office into just about any room. Keep it simple if you’re a minimalist, or add a variety of cabinets and shelving units across the wall to create an eclectic work hub.
