Find yourself struggling with space around the home then it’s time to consider new storage solutions. Often enough, despite the space you might have, it’s hard to keep everything in an organised way around your home.
However, a few clever storage solutions can help make the most of the space you do have. This will transform it into a more harmonious setting whatever room you’re in. Here are five clever storage solutions for small family home spaces that you could add to your home this year.
CREATE UNDER THE STAIRS STORAGE
When it comes to making use of space that would often be used as a dumping ground, under the stairs is a good place to make use of. Instead of just throwing things into this space, look at how you could make it a functional space for storage at varying levels.
Ideally, you should be making full use of this space, so think about expanding the space if you haven’t already so that you have full capacity of the floor space underneath your staircase.
HAVE OPEN SHELVING ON THE WALLS OF EVERY ROOM
Open shelving on your walls is a great way to make use of the space in every room you have. The walls are an area that isn’t always thought about but so long as you can reach the shelves themselves, you can create as many levels across all of your walls as you please.
With opening shelving, it’s more accessible and it doesn’t make your rooms feel as compact as it would adding drawers or cabinet doors to the shelving.
INVEST IN MULTIFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
Multifunctional furniture is certainly something you want to use when you don’t have a great deal of space around the home. With multifunctional furniture, you’re not taking up any more space but making use of what furniture could hold storage in it.
From beds that have storage or drawers underneath to armchairs and pull-out spaces from various cupboards and units. Bespoke wardrobes are a great option when you want to create some furniture that’s more functional not only for the space but also for providing storage capabilities.
MAKE USE OF ALL THE SMALL SPACES
While some small spaces around your home don’t provide any use, they could help fill in with storage systems. Think about the skinny areas of the house and those that aren’t currently utilised. How could you fit shelving or storage into that space?
It’s sometimes worth taking some inspiration from online or from those who might be able to offer their services in storage creation in your local area.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Sometimes, you need to think outside the box. Consider unusual ways of creating storage around your home. Have you ever considered having drawers directly under your stairs? Or what about storage that comes down from the ceiling via a conveyor belt-style system?
There are lots of clever storage solutions worth embracing, so try these tips around your home this year.
