Next year my friends and I are moving into a quad...its similar to an apartment, but we all have our own leases (so if its just you moving in, you share the quad with 3 random people) and share a kitchen that has NO FRIDGE, and a stove/oven half the size of a regular one. We each have a mini-fridge in our own room, but it still wouldn't be big enough to store frozen pizzas/etc. PLUS the rooms have NO CLOSET!!!! They supply an armoire, but even that won't be big enough, even though it takes up like half the room! The rooms are 10x14, and we each have our own tiny bathroom, with a shower, but no bathtub.
I know I'm going to have to definately size down all my stuff, and bring the basic necessities.
I'm planning on using underbed storage, shoe racks over the door, those spacesaver thingys over the toilet.
But the bathroom vanity doesn't even have DRAWERS! I don't know how to store all my stuff!!! It just has the under-the-sink cabinet, that the sink and pipes take up most of the room.
I was thinking of getting a corner desk, but there is no corner to put it in, as I have 3 doors in my room -- one to the bathroom, one to the kitchen, and then the entrance door, which leaves one corner, but there is a heater on the floor which is right next to the only corner left!
My parents are telling me to reconsider, but we've practically already signed the lease (put down a non-refundable $200 deposit) and it's cheap...$365/month, and we only pay for internet and cable.
How else can I maximize the space?! I keep thinking of things that would normally go in a kitchen, like a vaccum, brooms, laundry stuff, but I have to keep them in my room because the kitchen only has cabinets, and no closets or anything! Not even a place to eat!!!!
