4. Fake Linen Closet
No linen closet? No problem. You can make one with a few linen baskets. With 4-6 square or rectangular baskets, connect them with your wall in a stacking fashion. These can be attached with nails, command strips, or anything else that will be stable. You can fill these baskets with folded towels and robes to put them on display.
5. Magnetic Knife Holder
A magnetic knife holder is a simple way to make your kitchen utensils more accessible. All you need is a block of wood, a drill, some heavy-duty magnets, a hammer, and a few nails.
