Today, many are concerned about their carbon footprint as it pertains to the environment. For this reason, many are choosing to move into smaller homes or office spaces. In fact, tiny houses are all the rave in today’s real estate market.
Although this is a commendable act, storage can be a problem when downsizing. However, there are many clever and innovate ways you can create added storage space. Consider the following when preparing to downsize to a smaller home or office.
- Under Bed Storage – Elevate your bed so that you can store bins or baskets underneath. This is a great place for extra bedding such as blankets, pillows and sheets.
- Bench Storage – Place a trunk or storage bench at the foot of your bed. Along with added seating, it will also provide you with additional storage for clothing or other items.
- Vertical/Open Cabinets and Shelves – Why open? When you opt for open cabinets or shelves, you can make better use of bins or drawers. Both attractive and functional, along with helping to organize, they can also add color and enhance the style of your space. Build cabinets as high as possible in your kitchen and bath. Store rarely used items high and out of reach.
- Added Kitchen Storage – Attach file folders to the sides of cabinets or on the kitchen wall to store large utensils, foil or wax paper for easy access.
- Added Bathroom Storage – In lieu of a mirror, place a cabinet or shelf over the sink. You can also get added storage with an over the toilet shelving unit or medicine cabinet.
- Safe boxes – organize and store personal documents and valuables using a durable electric lock safe.
Often, your home must also serve as an office space. This will require lots of creativity and innovative design ideas. Most importantly, your furniture pieces will need to be multi-functional. For example, your dining table can serve as a desk and a trunk as both a coffee table and storage unit.
