Clever ways for extra storage space in the house

There are houses which are too small. And there are also people who have too many things! Imagine those two combined! Truth is that we never seem to have enough storage space no matter what! Clothes, books, accessories, kitchen and bath stuff they all take some space. Here are a few ways to have extra space in your house:

1. A coffee table with storage space.

The last one is the one I have in my living room but in white color:

Whether it has a lift top or just a drawer having a coffee table that you can store items like magazines, books, controls, cd's or even coasters for the drinks it can be very helpful. Especially of you have unexpected guests and just want to look tidy within 3 seconds!

2. A narrow and tall chest of drawers in the bathroom:

In the flat I live in there is only one bathroom and literally no storage space. It doesn't even have a cupboard under the sink! So we got ourselves a chest of drawers that is 116 cm height, 40 cm width and 50 cm depth. With 5 drawers, 4 of which very deep it has helped a lot.

The first drawer is our "pharmacy". Pain killers, sore throat sprays etc... In the second we keep all the shampoos, shower gels and "lady's stuff". The third and fourth keep our hand and bath towels respectively whereas the last but not least has our toilet papers which are a lot thanks to my mother-in-law who keeps providing us!!!

3. Stools with storage space.

These stools are convenient for 3 main reasons: they can be used in all sorts of rooms from the living room to the bedroom, they can store cushions, blankets or anything else you don't want lying around AND they are light to carry around so you can move them easily from one place to another!
