Small living area? Try these 3 space-saving hacks

Is space a premium in your place? Try these hacks.

1. Hanging wall storage and corner shelving. Nail-in shelving units are perfect for saving space and displaying your décor. Put your paperbacks up high and dress them up with bookends. Plants, office supplies, you name it – shelves lift items out of living space.

2. Over-the-door hooks. Too many sweatshirts? Hooks. Bathrobes for the whole family? Hooks. No room for brooms in the closet? Hooks.

3. Kitchen space-savers. Turn a mason jar into an organizer or use hooks inside your pantry to hold utensils, keeping limited counter space open.
