Storage is always an issue in apartments, and that goes double for emergency supplies. Making the most of your storage space often means thinking vertically or finding storage containers that can double as tables, ottomans, or other furniture. Making the most of the spaces under furniture, using luggage and your freezer, and keeping emergency supplies in your car can all be useful as well. There are also creative ways to create hidden storage areas concealed by curtains until you need them.
Key Takeaways:
- Think vertically and be sure to utilize space on top of and underneath large items such as refrigerators and beds.
- You can create a concealed storage book by mounting a shelf in front of a window with a piece of fabric cut from a curtain facing out the window and the same curtain covering it on the inside.
- Storing emergency supplies in your car will both reduce clutter in your home and give you easier access if you have to leave in a hurry.
“Fill sanitized 2-liter bottles three-quarters full with water and freeze. Fill any extra space in your freezer. A full freezer actually saves energy. As an added benefit, the extra ice helps during power grid failures, as your freezer will stay cold longer. After you use up your other stored water, you can begin using the ice water from the freezer.”
