Small Spaces Kick Off

This month is all about small spaces!  The typical small space that people think about is the 300 square foot studio apartment, but small spaces come in a variety of forms.

Small spaces can include:
  • Cubicles
  • Office supply rooms
  • Break rooms (that frequently serve other purposes as well)
  • Home offices or shared office spaces (guest room/office)
  • Closets
  • Mobile offices (like a car)
  • Various living spaces
All June, we are going to tackle how to organize some of the typical small spaces that we help clients with.

To get you started, here are some general tips to keep in mind:
  • Use vertical space whenever possible.
  • Use the backs of doors or other odd shapes to maximize space available.
  • Think in terms of “prime real estate.”  Make sure you use the space that is easiest to access on the items that you use the most.
  • Set up clear zones for categories of items, especially Active, Reference, and Archive.
  • Label shelves and drawers in your utility room so you have a place for items (and the family can locate items easily without asking).
