Did you ever unscrew your 迷你倉 unit and then was in the tropical forest of boxes, tangled cords and mystery bags? You’re not alone. The way a small space is displayed can resemble a maze and you are not even given a preview of the picture on the box. Nevertheless, using certain cunning tricks, you can transform such a mess into a well-organized space which you will even be eager to go through. Extra resources!
Start with an obvious principle–vertical is necessary. Floor to ceiling stack boxes were needed by Pile, and these are stacked randomly. The heavyest will be at the bottom, the light and delicate stuff on the top. Think of it as making a cake, you do not desire the layer of icing to be squashed at the base. Plastics are more superior to cardboard, which are clear. You can peep without playing the box shuffle.
Next up: label everything. You might think that you will remember where you had left that winter coat or blender. You won’t. On the two sides, a conspicuous label is indicated to save you the inconvenience of being stunned in future. Extra points in case you colour-code, i.e. your own stuff is red (blue office stuff, yellow sentimental stuff, and so on).
Aisles can be found in supermarkets only. Make a walkway between your unit. You might say that you are wasting space at first but you will be glad you did it later when you will have to access the back, you will not need to climb mountain Boxmore.
Use every odd corner. Hooks and hanging shelves and stackable crates are your secret weapons. Get your walls to fit, slap your folding chairs up, get that ladder stashed in the hall, and get it to fit you. Even with a pegboard, even small spaces could transform themselves into small storage heroes.
