You can find several ways to make storage in your home.
It seems like we can't ever get enough storage--especially when the garage, attic, basement and every closet is full. If you find yourself in this predicament, first sort through your possessions and decide what needs to be kept and what needs to be thrown out. Then try some creative ideas for making storage. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Use furniture, such as this ottoman, with storage compartments.
Use furniture that provides storage. To free up closet space, look for benches, tables, ottomans, footstools, armchairs and more that available with hidden storage compartments. Store linens and blankets inside a window bench, board games and toys inside a coffee table, and CDs and DVDs inside an ottoman. In the bedroom, turn the bed into storage. Look for bed frames that have headboards with display spaces, bookcases, shelves and drawers underneath. You can find this kind of furniture in all kinds of styles inexpensive home furnishing stores.
2. Display collectibles or store books on shelves.
Store upward. Just as apartments in a high-rise require far fewer square miles than single-family dwellings, your clutter will need less space when kept in vertical storage. One way to make use of this principle is with shelves, which will allow you to store up the walls instead on the floor or in your closets. Devoting all or just part of a wall to shelving will create a great deal of storage space for movies, books, music, collections and movies. Utilize stackable shelf stands in your kitchen cabinets, and purchase stackable storage bins, shoe racks, baskets and boxes for your closets.
3. Try installing a cloest underneath stairs.
Don't overlook dead space. For example, see if there's room in the tops of wardrobes, closets and pantries to add a shelf. Buy risers to raise all beds in the house up off the floor for storage underneath, and move couches, loveseats and dressers away from the wall a bit to store your things behind them. Place items atop tall furniture such as bureaus, grandfather clocks and wardrobes. Also, if there is a staircase in the home, consider having a closet installed underneath, where the drywall is often concealing space that could become storage.
