very limited storage space - tiny kitchen, tiny and very few cabinets

There should be space under the bed, under the couch, behind the dresser. Build a small box as a window seat with storage inside. Change out end tables and coffee table with trunks or other storage containers. Use a garbage can, top it with a piece of wood and throw a piece of fabric over the whole thing for a night stand. Two by fours fit perfectly behind open doors so make some shelves.

"There should be space under the bed, under the couch,"

Great places to store stuff AND you can enhance this area by removing bed frames and couch legs and building bases for both using plywood etc. and making proper storage shelves under them.

Its amazing how much stuff you can store under these just by raising them a few inches and making proper shelves under them.

“Two by fours fit perfectly behind open doors so make some shelves.”

Some years ago I got long metal racks with hardware to slip over the top of a door. Each one has six rows of attached racks. I have three bedrooms and each one has those racks behind the door.

As if I am not already paranoid enough about the maintenance folks and the pest control company coming into my apartment with barley 24 hours notice. As clean as I keep my apartment, all I need is for them to find me storing food stuffs in my end and coffee tables, under my bed, behind my dresser and behind my couch, turning my bedroom night stand into a food storage locker when my building has a bug problem, even if I’m not the source. Seriously, when I get evicted, will you be willing to take me in :) ,
