Boxes, crates, baskets
Open shelving and shelves are not universal - some things still need to be kept hidden from view. Cardboard or plastic boxes, wicker baskets, wooden boxes and other similar containers will help with this. They can be placed on open shelves: this solution will be much more economical than using a cabinet. The drawers can be chosen in different shades to add color and bright accents to the room.

Shelves
Open shelves do not weigh down the space, so you can place them in any convenient place. But before installation, decide what you will store on them. Photo frames, figurines and candles are great decorative items, but open shelves can provide additional storage space for more important items. To keep the space “private” and hide everything from prying eyes, place small items in neat plastic containers or attractive cardboard boxes. This way you can decorate the room and make it more functional at the same time.
Don't forget that dust always collects on the shelves. The fewer small items you store, the easier it will be for you to clean your apartment. Availability of things is also important. If they are located one after another, then it will be difficult for you to get the necessary item without disturbing the others. Decorative storage boxes solve this problem too.
Hollow podium
Raise the floor in part of the room and you will get a practical podium under which you can organize many compartments for things. And at the same time, if we are talking about a studio, you will receive zoning of the sleeping area from the rest of the room - with a workplace or kitchen. If the podium is quite large, no cabinets or even shelves will be needed.

To do this, you need to tie ropes to the attached bar, and then attach the hats to the ropes themselves with clothespins.
Pull-out rack
A vertical pull-out shelving unit can accompany bedside tables with drawers. It is very convenient to use for storing books, but hangers with clothes can also be placed there. The main advantage of a retractable rack is its narrow design, which will take up minimal space in the room.
