Home storage solutions are something nearly everyone searches for at one point or another. Better storage methods will allow you to find things easier as well as keep your home tidy. The good news is there are many affordable and easy methods to overhaul your storage! Read on for our favourite tips.
Use Higher Areas
When it comes to home storage, you’re probably already using areas close to the ground, like cupboards or closets. But what about higher places? Many kitchens have a space between cabinets and the ceiling that can store decorative cooking utensils like dutch ovens or bowls. If you don’t want to show off your dishes, use pretty baskets to store smaller items.
Don’t Forget The Space Under The Bed
As a child you might have stuffed your clothes and toys under the bed when tidying up, but thanks to clever storage bins there’s a grown-up way to use the same space! Bins come in all sizes and many even have wheels so they can be retrieved easily without damaging floors. We recommend you measure the area under your bed before buying to be sure your bin will fit.
Use Magnetic Shelves On Your Fridge
If your fridge has a free side, consider mounting a magnetic shelf! Installation requires no screwing or hammering, and you’ll have an ideal spot for spices and shelf-stable goods. The model pictured even includes extra hooks and a rod to hang paper towels!
Use Your Existing Furniture
There are lots of examples of furniture with built-in storage, but before you run out to make a purchase consider what you already have. Even open shelving can store household items with style, as seen in the example above. Tuck less pretty items in drawers with the help of dividers, or place them in decorative baskets on shelves.
Make Use Of Cupboard Organizers
You’ll double the space inside cupboards when you add a two-tiered organizer. The best models can be installed so they pull out easily, which means no more endless rooting through cupboards to find something!
Use Every Bit Of Counter Space
Non-permanent counter shelves fit right into your home, no installation necessary! Find more room for spices, mugs, and dishes with this handy home storage solution. As a bonus, these shelves aren’t bulky and won’t take up valuable counter space in your kitchen or bathroom.
Finding better methods for home storage can change your relationship with your space by creating a sense of calm and order. It may take a bit of effort, but once you’ve created storage areas you’ll find it’s very easy to keep a tidy home!
