Does anyone else take a look at the real estate prices and drown your sorrows in a big ol’ glass of chocolate milk? Okay, maybe not chocolate milk, but you get my point.

I’m basically stuck with a tiny apartment for life, and I’ve mostly gotten over it at this point. But when you’ve got a tiny home, you’ve got to be strategic with storage and saving space. It ain’t easy, my friends!

18 Sneaky Hiding Spots People Found In Real Life

1. Attach Magnets To The Top Of Your Fridge

Image credit: The Awesomer
The Awesomer

No one uses the space on the top of the fridge! This is actually one of the most genius space-saving hacks I’ve ever seen. You could either buy something like this or DIY it.

2. Use Over-The-Door Storage To Organize Bathroom Products

Image credit: Delicious Spaces
Delicious Spaces

Over-the-door storage might usually be meant for shoes, but you can really organize and store anything in there! This could be used for toys in the kids’ room, too.

3. Use CD Racks To Store Tupperware Lids

Image credit: Guff
Guff

Who uses CD racks anymore anyway? Might as well pick some up at the thrift store for $0.50 and use them to your advantage. Tupperware is so hard to organize and store efficiently!

4. Use Bamboo Sticks In A Jar To Hold Knives

Image credit: Felicia KRamer
Felicia KRamer

Hey, not everyone can have some fancy-shmancy knife holder with every knife under the rainbow. Some people have to go the broke route, okay?

5. Cut Notches In Your Shelves For Toothbrushes

Image credit: Family Handyman
Family Handyman

Did you know that your toothbrushes should be kept in a drawer or cabinet? There’s a heck of a lot of germs floating around a bathroom.

6. Get Your Tools Off The Garage Floor With PVC Pipe

Image credit: Ash Bee Design
Ash Bee Design

If your garage looks more like a garbage dump than you want it to, start by getting everything off the floor and onto the walls to optimize storage space.

7. Add Velcro Tape To Controllers So You Never Lose Them

Image credit: Pinterest

I’m constantly losing our remote control within the seats of the couch. Sometimes the dog even buries it there (she’s also chewed up a PS4 controller).

8. Make More Closet Space With Soda Tabs

Image credit: RMH Charleston
RMH Charleston

This is another hack that is tried and true! I’ve been doing this with my clothes hangers for a few months now and it definitely helps with closet space!

9. Hide Your Jewelry Behind A Mirror

Image credit: Dreaming In DIY
Dreaming In DIY

Medicine cabinets have been a thing for years as a great way to hide less desirable items behind a mirror. This hack is basically the same thing, just much more glam!

10. Use A Carabiner To Hold Your Hair Elastics

Image credit: The Middle Flipper
The Middle Flipper

I can NEVER seem to find a hair elastic when I need one the most. Using a carabiner is not only genius, but it’s pretty cheap, too. I need to stock up on these guys!

11. Use Chicken Wire To Make A Jewelry Display

Image credit: Hometalk
Hometalk

Cutting chicken wire is definitely not the most fun project. It sucks, but it’s worth it! Use the wire and an old frame to display your jewelry.

12. Use Adhesive Hooks Everywhere

Image credit: Pinterest

Whether you’re organizing your quilting supplies or making space in your kitchen, adhesive hooks are a godsend! I’m stocking up on these. Grandma would be so proud.

13. Use Jars Underneath Your Shelves

Image credit: Pinterest

Whenever I have to break out the hammer and nails, I groan a bit. But for this DIY, even though it’s kind of annoying, it’s kind of amazing too!

14. Use An Accessory Hook To Hold Your Camisoles

Image credit: Hometalk
Hometalk

Who else needs a better way to organize their closet space so their bedroom is less messy? With hacks like these, my room’s going to be a palace!

15. Use A Magnetic Strip To Hold Bobby Pins

Image credit: Decor Notes
Decor Notes

This is a hack that I use in my home, and for the most part it definitely works. I just have to remember to put the bobby pins away when I’ve used them!

16. Get A Box Spring With Drawers

Image credit: Amazon
Amazon

This is a great way to store bedding – or anything else that can’t fit in your closet anymore – and it gives your bed a new, more streamlined look.

17. Use Hanging Baskets To Store Your Fruit And Vegetables

Image credit: Amazon
Amazon

Small kitchens often come with small refrigerators. Why not use hanging baskets for your produce instead? Plus, your fruit and veg will taste better when it’s room temperature.

18. Install Shelves Above Your Door

Image credit: The 2 Seasons
The 2 Seasons

Look up. See all that unused space? Put it to good use. Try installing shelves above your door frame and turning all that air into storage space. Just maybe don’t put any everyday items in there.

19. Put A Storage Ottoman To Good Use

Image credit: Target
Target

A storage ottoman is a great place to store remotes and blankets. And, of course, a great place to rest your feet while watching TV.

20. Use Bead Organizers To Store Makeup

Image credit: Makeup and Beauty Blog

This will surely clear up counter space in your bathroom and they stack easily under the sink.

21. Add Risers To Your Bed

Image credit: Bed Bath and Beyond
Bed Bath and Beyond

They’ll create extra storage space under your bed, and some even come equipped with outlets for plugging in cords or charging your electronics.

22. Mount Magazine Racks To The Wall

Image credit: Instructables.com
Instructables.com

This is a great way to create some storage in your entrance way. The racks can hold mail, keys, and even hats and gloves.

23. Use Your Pantry Walls For Extra Storage

Image credit: Domestic Imperfection
Domestic Imperfection

You’re not limited to only using the shelves in your pantry. Affix small wire baskets to the wall and use them for organizing spices and other small bottles or packets that can easily get lost in the clutter.

24. Use A Paper Towel Rack For Holding Plastic Wrap, Aluminum Foil, Etc.

Image credit: Ask Anna
Ask Anna

Hang a couple of paper towel racks behind a cabinet door and you’ve just freed up precious cupboard space. Plus, the towel rack actually goes right through the tube, so it also saves you from having to wrangle with the packaging.

25. A Tension Rod Can Organize Your Shower

Cosmopolitan

All those shower necessities can really take up space. Try mounting a tension rod in your shower and using S-hooks for hanging things like loofah scrubs, shower caps, and poofs.

26. Instead Of Stacking Your Glass Cups And Breaking Or Chipping Them, Alternate Their Direction

Image credit: Reddit | gotfoundout
Reddit | gotfoundout

Alternating them facing up and down saves enough space to make a big difference!

27. Clip Bags Of Veggies On The Rack In The Freezer

Image credit: Reddit | ion_citat
Reddit | ion_citat

Not only does it keep them nice and organized, but it also gets rid of the inevitable pile of veggies and fruits that are often forgotten.

28.If You Don’t Have Any Extra Room For A Dresser Or Cabinet To Put A TV On, Build One Right Into Your Wall

Image credit: Instagram | @construcciones_beijing
Instagram | @construcciones_beijing

This sort of system also keeps your room crisp and cord-free.

29. No Room For A Christmas Tree? Just Make One Right On Your Wall!

Image credit: Instagram | @sonnijim
Instagram | @sonnijim

I’ve seen people do it with wood or branches from trees. Such a unique way to keep a tradition alive!

30. Look For A Bed With Drawers Built In

Image credit: Instagram | @g_s_furniture
Instagram | @g_s_furniture

This should also keep your clothes off the ground, since the drawers are on the ground, anyways…right?

31. Extend Your Counter Space

Image credit: Reddit | Squirrelly_Wrath
Reddit | Squirrelly_Wrath

This is something I really need to do, but it will only work if you don’t need the burners!

32. Line Your Shoes Up Right Under Your Bed

Image credit: Reddit | buffsaitama
Reddit | buffsaitama

Just make sure you put some bounce sheets in them for extra freshness.

33. This Spice Rack Is Pretty Genius

I’m also super impressed by their collection!
