Craving space in your busy family home? Whether your home is full of young preschoolers and toddlers, busy teens, or grown children getting ready for college, every mom needs to find the best home storage solutions. Walk in closets, double duty furniture, and built-in storage, are just a few tips to help you expand your space and minimize clutter. Read on for our professional storage tips, perfect for every mom!
Customized Storage
It doesn’t matter if you are planning on moving to a new house, own a condo, or are trying to make the most of a home that you have lived in for decades. Creating customized walk in closets is one of the best ways to fully organize your home. You can design the closet to fit almost any space, creating easy convenience for shoes and socks, clothing, toys, and accessories.
Enjoy shelving that meets your needs, light fixtures, and mirrors that really open a space up, and hidden drawers for storing valuables. Space is more than storage. Use it as a dressing room or vanity, or even as a place to store valuables and your safe.
Spacious Windows
Tired of your home looking cramped and dark? One way to help open up your space is with new windows. Opt for beautiful spacious windows, especially if you have a beautiful vista outside. Even if you live in an urban environment, adding windows will bring in the light. This makes more of your home functional, not to mention a little bit cheerier. Contact a window replacement specialist about how you can use lighting and new windows to help brighten your home.
Double Duty Furniture
Urban dwellers already know the value of double-duty furniture – pieces that often have hidden storage and are multifunctional. For example, coffee tables that can store books and toys, ottomans that open up to hide photo albums or built-in drawers in your bed frame.
Built-In Storage
If you are looking for a home, look for homes that have built-in bookshelves in the walls. Popular in older homes, these walls are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. If you don’t have a home with built-in bookshelves, you can add standalone units instead of display and storage. Speak with a professional about finding places to hide modular storage units in your home.
The Kitchen
Let’s not forget the importance of hidden storage in your kitchen. Add pull-out shelving, shelf inserts, and extra hooks to hang small pots and pans. Be creative with your space, and use wood accordion walls to hang potholders and small kitchen items.
Make the Most of Your Space
Most of us have a room, attic, closet, or basement that is underused. Maybe you need to clear out the basement of bins of old clothes and toys that your children have outgrown. Or maybe there is a closet in the living room that would serve better for storing your photography equipment instead of rarely worn sweaters. Be creative and scour your place for space like you are looking for hidden treasure. You may be surprised at what you find!
