Since moving into a studio apartment, I’ve become a bit of a small-space storage expert. I’ve tested drawer organizers like they’re puzzles, experimented with different types of over-the-door hangers, and tried various storage solutions to figure out how to make the most of every inch, including underneath the bed. Here are 11 Dollar Tree apartment finds that have earned my small-space stamp of approval—and for less than $3.
