Rooms

Daily household comfort largely depends on how well the storage of things is organized in the apartment. When every item has its own place, it's easy to find it and then put it back in its place without creating clutter. The Village asked designer Galina Tishutina how to think through home storage to free up more space for living.
The main thing you need to know about storage, - the output should be spacious and comfortable. After all best space for life is one in which there is a lot of air and empty surfaces. But in small apartments it is difficult task, which also conflicts with our traditional ability to complicate everything, as well as with a passion for shopping and hoarding. However, the world has become technologically advanced: a wide window sill can become a home office, Wi-Fi allows you to work even in bed, there are fewer wires, stationary units are almost a thing of the past, gadgets are rapidly decreasing in size, and all volumes of the encyclopedia fit on a flash drive. All this helps to gain additional living space.
Sorting
Before you start optimizing everything, you should divide things into necessary and unnecessary. First, you should get rid of things that have not been used for a long time. Each of us has some kind of toaster that last time turned on a couple of years ago, and it settled tightly on the windowsill in the kitchen. It’s better to throw away such things, sell them through Avito, or give them to someone who will use them. This way, only the necessary items will remain - we will plan storage space for them.
The necessary things will also have to be sorted. There is, for example, a hot and cold rotation system. The hot rotation includes those things that should be at hand every day. These are clothes, shoes and household gadgets - from a vacuum cleaner to an ironing board. For correct calculation measure the wardrobe dimensions linear meters rods for long items (outerwear, dresses), separately count the meters of rods for short items (shirts, blouses, jackets). Also determine the volume of shelves for other clothes and shoe boxes.
Cold rotation items include suitcases, boxes, Christmas decorations and other seasonal items. You can put your home library in the same category if you don’t access it every day, and household items that are dear to your heart - everything that can be put away.
Hidden storage
Fine organized apartment can be compared to a car, the interior of which has a lot of air and space, while the space under the hood is packed to capacity. We also need to get as much space as possible in living rooms, in the kitchen and in the bathrooms, and use the service premises - that is, the hallway, corridor and closets - to the maximum.
Instead of installing several wardrobes in living rooms, it is better to fence off a small wardrobe somewhere in the hallway. A wardrobe, even a small one, is the best thing that can happen to a small apartment. It effectively uses space right up to the ceiling, like the hood of a car, where every millimeter is used. A wardrobe is a bulky piece of furniture that stands in a room and takes up a lot of space.
Open storage
It is best to minimize the number of things laid out on surfaces. Firstly, they create a feeling of disorder, and secondly, they complicate the cleaning process because they need to be dusted off. Open storage This is only permissible in the kitchen and bathroom, that is, where there are items that are simply inconvenient to put away in cabinets several times a day.
Kitchen storage
To see if your kitchen storage is well organized, do a Sunday shopping test. Let's imagine that you are bringing home a supply of groceries and household chemicals for the next week or even several. If you can't organize everything into cabinets so that you can still access every package, then it's time to change something.
Small kitchens usually want to be kept as spacious as possible, so as not to further reduce the space with an abundance of items. In this case good decision there will be a closet located on the way from front door to the kitchen, in which you can store products that do not require refrigeration - water, groceries, sauces. This will allow you to shop less often and not turn your kitchen into a warehouse.
For storage inside kitchen cabinets It’s worth getting identical containers and pouring everything you can into them - from tea to cereals. The fact is that the factory packaging different shapes and sizes are difficult to ergonomically place inside the cabinet. As a result, a lot of space is wasted, and food from unsealed boxes often spills. Label each container and use the same ones for each type of food. This storage system increases the level of order and greatly speeds up the food preparation process.
Bathroom storage
The approach to organizing storage in the bathroom is very similar to the kitchen. It is necessary to allocate hot rotation items and think about storage for cold items. Leave only those tubes and items that you use regularly on open surfaces. The rest can be put in the closet. It is worth considering hanging a wide shelf directly above the door. It is unnoticeable, and it is convenient to keep a supply on it. washing powder and toilet paper.
Storage in rooms
Beds with a lifting mechanism and a storage system inside are often much inferior in terms of convenience to ordinary beds with legs, under which drawers on wheels from IKEA are placed. And besides, such beds are much cheaper.
If we talk about the nursery, it seems to me that the child should maintain order in his toys on his own. Therefore, all boxes should be placed at an accessible height. In this case, the little person will have the freedom to choose for himself what to put and where.
Good Habits
A convenient storage system is not only cabinets and shelves, but also a certain set of good habits. Train yourself to audit things a couple of times a year in order to get rid of junk in a timely manner and free up space. Keep track of the overall balance: if after a vacation or successful shopping you brought a couple of bags of things into the apartment, then the other pair of bags should leave it in the foreseeable future.

Designers advise using shelving instead of large cabinets if you have the opportunity. The absence of doors immediately makes them more “airy” appearance. And if you paint the shelving unit itself the color of the wall, it will appear built-in.
Useful little things and accessories
There are many devices that can make your life easier and distribute things around the apartment. Hinged pockets can be placed on the inside door of the cabinet and even on the wall. They seem funny and cute, but are actually very roomy. This accessory will help you clean up your home, because you will always know where combs, creams or playing cards are.
They can be used to store cleaning supplies and even shoes. It is ergonomic and very comfortable.
A perforated stove in the kitchen will allow you to do without spacious cabinets. Pans and pots will always be at hand. And the railing located above work surface, will be an excellent place to store spices, cutlery and other important little things.
Pay attention to medium-sized wicker baskets. They will look great both on the floor and on shelves. You can put any little thing in such a basket: from lipstick to a children's toy forgotten on the sofa. The apartment is tidy, and you know exactly where to look for a lost item.

To apply for a loan online, just fill out an application form on the MFO website containing your passport details, the desired loan amount and some other information. Also, if you plan to receive money on the card, you will need to have a registered Visa or MasterCard with CVV2 to receive funds.
A decision on an application is made from a few minutes to half an hour. If the loan amount exceeds 30-50 thousand rubles, the application is reviewed manually, which affects the processing time. The speed of receipt of money depends on the chosen method of receipt - to an account, to a card, to an electronic wallet or in cash and on the loan amount. Money is transferred at any time of the day, as well as on holidays and weekends.
You can increase the loan term for a period of 1-30 days. In some cases, if there are compelling reasons, the loan is extended without overpayments. In other cases, an additional commission fee is paid for loan extension. The number of possible extensions must be clarified with the microfinance organization.
For the first time, you can borrow an amount from 1 thousand rubles to 30 thousand rubles, depending on different conditions. The size of the first loan is affected by the borrower’s income, loan term, good credit history, and conditions for certain programs.
The MFO checks the validity of the passport through the FMS database, registration address, contact information of the borrower, assesses his solvency, and looks at open records in the FSSP database. Online client profiles are checked by an automated scoring system. Data from the BKI and bank card information are also checked.
A bad credit history is not a reason to expect a refusal. If the CI is damaged due to the fault of the creditor bank, you can contact the BCI with a statement. In other cases, you can try to correct it with a chain of small microloans taken sequentially and repaid in a timely manner.
If the loan is not given, you should find out the reason. For example, get your CI and study it to see if there are any delays caused by the banks. Maybe you have accumulated debt utility bills- it needs to be extinguished. After some time, you can re-apply to the microfinance organization to receive a smaller loan amount. Several consecutive small loans taken and repaid in a timely manner will improve your position in MFOs.
If the money is not returned to the MFO in due time, you will be charged penalties for a certain period stipulated in the agreement. If you do not contact and repay the loan during this time, your case will be referred to a collection agency, which will work with you to resolve how to return the money. If you avoid communicating with debt collectors, the case will be transferred to bailiffs who:
- funds on the salary card will be seized;
- travel abroad will be limited;
- will seize your personal property.
