Storage space is critical to a comfortable and clean living experience. And while some homes come with ample storage areas, it’s probably more likely that you lack it.
Fortunately, a little creativity can go a long way. If your property doesn’t present a lot of opportunities to store your belongings, you still have options.
Use these clever strategies to help create more storage in each part of the house.
Living Area
In living rooms, you can use a coffee table, ottoman or end table that has built-in cabinetry or drawers. Floating wall shelves can help, too, since they can create a floating console table of sorts — without taking up valuable floor space.
Bedroom
Consider purchasing a bedframe with underside drawers, or take it further and opt for a Murphy bed that stows away in the wall when you’re not using it. You could also add shelving for books, decor or even clothes and shoes.
Kitchen
Installing shelves or cabinets in an island can be a great way to add extra storage without expanding outward. A hanging pot rack can also save space in a small area, as can storage hooks on the insides of your cabinet doors.
Bathroom
Need a way to organize bathroom items? Use an over-the-door rack to store toiletries and makeup, or hang a pegboard up for easy jewelry storage. Mounted hooks are another great option to keep things neat.
