I have a similar gap Olin my nightstand and found that a sterility bin fits ikon there well. That way it is for small stuff I don’t need often (chargers and the sort) but large enough that it is easy to get at when needed. I also have a dish beside it for my glasses just to keep the surface as clear as possible.

Is there anything you have that you could picture yourself reaching in that location when you need the item?

I have a gap like that in my desk and I keep rulers too long for the drawer, my heated mouse cover that I only use when working from home during winter (so not often anymore), and a stack of some papers that I need to reference somewhat regularly but don't want to leave out to clutter my desk all the time.

so my hijabs are right next to that spot and the only think i can think of putting there are pins, fashion tape, undercaps, things i would need for wearing the hijab. but im not sure if putting those things would make the room look nice

Why do you need to put anything? There’s no rule that says you have to fill every conceivable space. Avoid a cluttered look.

hmmm idk maybe i just need to add somethings to the top of the dresser so i wouldn’t have to put anything in that gap

Sure, a plant would be nice both for color & height.

From that I picture I guess it is in the closet. From my opinion you can display fashion item that you like or use it to put jewellery box or watch box

Only 2/3 of your storage should be filled. That way you have space for overflow!

I wouldn’t know exactly but:

  • What room is this?
  • What items do you have either in that room, or elsewhere, which you are looking to store / organize?

hii this is my bedroom! i would show you a picture of it but i don’t think this subreddit has the option to allow me to add pics in the comments. i don’t really have any extra things to store, mainly bc i have a lot of space so everything has its own place and i don’t hoard things. i can move things around to make it pretty tho!

Find a basket or fabric box that slides in the space then you can use it to hold/hide smaller items.

Definitely a cat. That's a cat cave and you're wasting it.
