Small-space solutions

Start with the space, then choose the product.

Measure width, depth and height, including door swing, drawer clearance and access for everyday use. Choose one problem to solve before adding more things.

• Kitchen: check drawer height and how a nesting set fits when every piece is put away.
• Storage: leave room to close doors and lift laundry lids; check adhesive-hook surfaces and load limits.
• Bathroom: match the mounting method to your shower fittings and walls.
• Shared desk: plan where accessories will go when the table is needed for something else.
