5 Fast and Convenient Storage Solutions for Your Bradenton and Sarasota Apartment

No matter how good you are about tossing clutter and staying organized, you're still going to accumulate a lot of "stuff" over the years. While our Springs luxury apartment homes in Bradenton and Sarasota feature attached and detached garages and spacious walk-in closets, there are still tricks and tips you can use to maximize space in your apartment home. Here are five of our favorites:

An easy way to rid yourself of the huge paper mess caused by monthly bills, magazines, and the like is to go paperless. Enroll in paperless statements for all of your bills and bank statements, and download a free scanner app for your smartphone such as Evernote to digitally store tax returns, insurance policies, and other important documents.

Make the most of the space in your walk-in closet by removing your out-of-season wardrobe and storing it in rolling containers under your bed. This will make it extremely easy to find what you want to wear and will give your closet the appearance of a high-end clothing boutique rather than an overwhelming mess of clothes.

You can never have too much seating in your apartment home, especially if you like entertaining guests. Consider using some storage ottomans that can also double as seating. This extra storage space is ideal for quickly tucking away blankets, pillows, remote controls, or any other trinkets around your apartment home.

If you live in a studio apartment or simply want to divide up the space in your apartment home, use some tall bookshelves like these affordable Billy bookshelves from Ikea. Bookshelves will help define the space in your apartment home and provide additional storage space for books, pictures, artwork, collections, and more.

There are many options online for stylish hanging baskets that offer storage and create a point of interest on walls and doors. Some other easy solutions include Command hooks for belts, coats, and more, and over-the-door shoe organizers, which are great for storing makeup and toiletries.
