Whether you've focused on storage space, organization, or just a somewhat lackluster apartment design that needs upgrading, you've likely tackled at least one project.

21 Gain Storage — Without Shelves

No linen closet in your bathroom? No problem. Attach baskets to the wall for a spot to stash extra towels and washcloths.

29 Hide Your Drying Rack
Ugly, bulky drying racks = not cute. If you do your laundry regularly and have lots of clothes that just can't go in the dryer, attach this DIY folding rack to an empty wall.

30 Slide Your Laundry Baskets
Laundry baskets strewn around the house or stacked in piles in your laundry room sounds like something out of decor nightmares, but don't stress. A simple-to-build dresser allows you to slide your laundry baskets in and out when you need to use them—and store them in between washings. Genius.
Get the tutorial at Ana White.
31 Organize Spices
Spices are tricky things to store: Magnetizing them can be expensive, and takes up wall space. Storing them in your cupboards means you'll spend a lot of time digging around in search of the cumin. That's why we love this lifehack so much: It's an insanely simple solution to an annoying problem.
Get the tutorial at Reddit.
32 Color Your Keys
We've all been there: Which one's the backdoor key again? Paint each key with a different color to differentiate them—using nail polish is the easiest method.

Shelves can be pricey, so a cute, customizable DIY option is totally welcome. These shelves are an inexpensive option when you're seeking out lots of wall storage.

Shower caddies aren't just for your shower. Use a tension-based shower caddy in the laundry room to store your detergent, cleaning supplies, towels, and any other odds and ends.
Get the tutorial at Lowe's.
35 Make A Rolling Vanity
This IKEA hack may be our favorite yet. Finding space for a vanity can be difficult, especially in small apartments—but if you could get that vanity to roll? It's perfect.
Get the tutorial at Polkadot Chair.
36 Clip Your Chargers
This super easy hack is about to make your life so much easier. If you like to charge your electronics on your nightstand, attach a binder clip to the side. Thread the charger through the clips, and ta-da — your cord will never be lost beneath your bed again.
