The post 4 Great Apartment Storage Ideas appeared first on Hintonburg Connection Blog.
]]>One of the challenges of apartment living is storage space. Especially if you've been living in one for several years, you can acquire a lot of stuff and run out of space to put it all!
Fortunately, there are lots of ways to help maximize storage space in your apartment.
Here are 4 great apartment storage ideas to help you maximize your space.
Use shelves to reduce clutter
Avoid surface clutter by using shelves to display your favourite mementos and photographs. You can also find cool decorative boxes to store smaller items in and place them on the shelves. It's a decorating and storage win-win!
Use under your bed for additional apartment storage
What other use does this space have anyway besides collecting dust bunnies? Get some appropriately-sized storage containers and leverage the space to store clothing, bedding and anything else! To maximize the space, even more, use vacuum-seal bags to fit even more under the bed.
Place a dresser in your living room
Dressers are often considered a piece for the bedroom, but we believe some rules are meant to be broken.
Putting a dresser with lots of drawers in your living room area will not only give you more space but also make a beautiful accent piece! You can use the top to place your TV, or anything else important you'd like to display! The dresser can be bought new, or you can find one in a second-hand or vintage store. Check local marketplace listings for bargains.
Utilize vertical spaces for extra storage
Doors are not just meant for opening and closing, they can be great for storage too!
Using behind your doors and other vertical space like cupboards and cabinets is a great way to ensure every square foot is being put to good use!

Amazing building amenities
Hintonburg Connection was thoughtfully planned to meet the needs and wants of today's urban dwellers by Ottawa’s award-winning Hobin Architecture. This brand-new complex features spacious shared spaces for work and relaxation, an enviable rooftop terrace, a well-equipped fitness centre, bike storage and maintenance facilities, underground parking, and ground floor retail.
Access to fantastic amenities such as a fitness centre and rooftop terrace is what our residents love the most about the building. The Hintonburg Connection fitness centre is equipped with state-of-the-art machines suitable for a complete workout.
Working from home has also become more convenient due to the availability of common work and relaxation areas throughout the building.
The rooftop patio is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or to watch the sunset in the evening. Rod Castro, a Hintonburg Connection resident and owner of Publicco 1331 and 10 Fourteen Bar, says it's one of his favourite places to relax before the morning rush.
We should also mention that furry friends are welcome. We're proud to be a pet-friendly building!

Our building is designed to support biodiversity in urban environments
We partnered up with Alveole, a Canadian beekeeping company, to install a rooftop beehive to help restore declining bee populations (which are critical to the ecosystem's health) and reconnect residents with nature. The beehive was successfully installed in June of 2020, and the hive is now home to more than 37,500 bees.
Our Queen bee, Cardi Bee, and her colony are busy producing honey for our Fall harvest!
