Easy DIY for Small Spaces

Small spaces shouldn’t hold you back from DIYing your home. These projects are fully functional and occupy only a fraction of your floor space.

Small Spaces | DIY Projects To Try Back when I was fresh out of university, I lived in a small apartment and learned more about living independently. I loved having my own space. The only downside was how the size of the apartment made the studio feel so cramped. Luckily, I made things work with a few space-saving DIYs.

Over The Sink Shelf

An over the sink shelf gives you more storage space to place your dishwashing needs. Did I mention scrap pallet wood boards can be used to make this? What a great upcycling idea, right?!

Magnetic Knife Rack

Avoid unwanted cuts and scrapes by storing your knives on this magnetic rack. By the way, don’t forget to squeeze in some all purpose silicon before sticking the magnet in the rack.

Shelf Above Door

One way to add storage in a small bathroom is by adding a shelf above the door. According to Dave, it’s important to place a support board on the wall. This support block will serve as the piece your shelf can rest on.

Under The Bed Shoe Organizer

An under the bed storage compartment is one of the best hacks for small apartment spaces. If you’d like, you can even add wheels to the bottom of the organizer for an easier pullout.

Folding Desk

It’s important to measure the area where you’ll place your DIY folding desk. So sit on a chair and see if the height you’ve marked is good enough before placing any of the wooden boards in.

Pegboard Shelves

Pegboard shelves come in handy because they allow you to customize your storage space. Don’t forget to place a coat of wood glue on your pieces before finishing off with a nail gun.

Storage Bench

Store your clutter and keep them away from sight with this nifty storage bench. To support your bench’s top shelf, all you have to do is place a piece of wood below the halfway line.
