Closet systems make the most of the available storage space in the home.
Saving space is always a concern for those living in small homes and apartments. Improvement projects can help to make any size home less cluttered and more efficient. Space-saving furnishings and closet systems can help you find a place for everything in your home and clear out the living areas in the home. Does this Spark an idea?
Furniture Ideas
Choosing the right piece of furniture can help to open up your floor space and provide additional storage in any room. For instance, loft beds lift the sleeping area up to the ceiling and free the floor space beneath. Homeowners with small bedrooms can add a sitting area or workspace in the bedroom under the bed. Platform beds with additional storage built in can eliminate the need for additional dressers and bureaus in the room.
Murphy beds and fold up laptop stations can allow one room to perform double duty. For example, a spare bedroom can be transformed into a home office when the bed is folded away when not in use. Computer trays installed on the wall can be placed anywhere in the home. When the laptop is not being used, the tray folds back into the wall to save space.
Closet Systems
A storage organization system can increase the capacity of the tiniest closet. Install shelving systems to the ceiling in the closet and store extra clothing, shoes, books, blankets and other items that you are not using on the highest shelves. Back of the door organizers give you small pouches to store cosmetics and other tiny items, which will give you more space on your bathroom counters.
Pantries and Utility Rooms
Pantries, laundry rooms and utility closets are areas in your home that can store some of your rarely used items. For those who purchase food in bulk quantities, the kitchen pantry is an absolute necessity. Store items that are not used every day in the kitchen pantry. Take advantage of the vertical space in the room to build shelves and store your nonperishable food items.
