My boyfriend and I recently moved into a lovely railroad apartment in Brooklyn. Despite having four rooms (not counting the kitchen and the bathroom), we have way more stuff than we do closet space; not to mention that neither of us were ever that great at de-cluttering to begin with. In our attempt to keep our apartment tidy, we discovered a few life savers:

1.) Huggable Hangers. Slender, velvety, hangers that cling close together. They are very compact and nearly triple our closet space.

2.) Plastic Wall Hooks with Adhesive Tape. I hung a bunch of these in my kitchen to hang all my cookware on. It creates a cool look, plus the hooks are really cheap and don't require any tools.

3.) Foldable/Compact Everything. Small, foldable, ironing board. Foldable step-stool. Foldable laundry drying rack....use it when you need it, and it's slender enough to fold up and put away without taking up space. Plus, smaller/foldable items tend to be a lot cheaper than their larger counterparts.
