How To Create Room For Things You Love In Small Quarters Using Unique Storage Solutions
With so many people choosing to downsize or live more simply in this troubled economy, one problem occurs , where do they put all of their things? When homeowners downsize, they typically have more things than space in their new home but do not necessarily want to get rid of all of it . This article will give suggestions on ways to make the best storage sense from a smaller space such as in a bathroom using bath storage cabinets and a bathroom wall cabinet rather than a pedestal sink with no storage . Also putting in a shelf storage cabinet in the basement to hold all of the infrequently used items is another option.
With so many home improvement type of stores and retail stores that are specifically for storing items like the Container store there are a lot of ways to make the most of your challenged amount of space to store your items . First, perhaps people do not think of the bathroom that can have storage solutions but it is a wonderful spot to hang some cabinetry to hold all of your linens and bath supplies. Always use a cabinet style sink with drawers and cabinetry underneath as a pedestal sink has no room to store things. Another wonderful tip for a little bathroom is to purchase a clear plastic shoe organizer and put it on the back of the door. This can hold all of your personal supplies that you use daily if there is not room to put in some type of cabinetry. It is easy to locate, off of the ground and very inexpensive .
The next space that may have some great storage options is your bedroom. If your beds sits too low to the ground to put anything below it, purchase some risers to give the bed a boost and to provide a lot of great storage space below it. There are many plastic storage units made specifically to be put under the bed for extra bedding and pillows, or out of season clothing . Another good suggestion is to purchase a rolling floor shoe rack that slides underneath the bed. This makes space in your closet and is quite convenient. At the end of the bed, you may put a hope chest to store things or storage cubes that are hollow to allow space fpr storage is also a fun idea .
The last area is the kitchen where many people seem to have space issues if it is small. In older homes and cabinets, the shelving used was made for plates that were smaller\a bit smaller than the average plate is today . think about purchasing smaller plates to go into the space and allow room for other things too . Also, multi tiered shelving for spices and canned goods and multi level shelves allow you double the amount of room in a cabinet which is quite useful .
Be creative in your storing solutions and don't forget to use the space going vertically. Being well organized is also important to living a more stress free life as well .
