When you move into your first urban apartment, dealing with a lack of space will soon become a fact of life, and you'll look into a few ingenious storage methods to compensate. According to Better Homes and Gardens, storage doesn't always mean that you need to hide your belongings - in fact, you can use them as a focal point of your decorative scheme.

You have plenty of options when working with displayed storage, but one of the best is a centerpiece for your bathroom vanity. Take a small plate and top it with a selection of bath gels, seasonal accents and other small items. You can update it throughout the year and it can be a great way to compartmentalize your toiletries.

If you need extra shelving in your space, consider installing an open shelving unit and using the top shelf as a display area. By looking into a few toiletries that coordinate well with your bathroom décor, your bathroom will get a noticeable boost from its uniform appeal.

Finding additional storage space in a cramped bathroom can be tricky, but you can make it a focal point of your interior design. What storage tips do you have for those moving into an urban apartment?
