Whether you stay in a big apartment, a penthouse or a studio, storage is something that we always tend to fall short of.
Here are 20 ways to create smart storage in your home in spaces that you would have never thought of using otherwise!
1.
Use the space under the staircase to build cabinets, and use them to organize and store things.
2.
Ceilings and perimeter are the most untapped areas when it comes to storage. Make use of the space by creating shelves.
3.
Take advantage of the corners in the kitchen by installing corner drawers.
4.
Install shelves in the corners of rooms and utilize this wasted space for storage.
5.
Go for designer wall shelves to give your home a new dimension.
6.
Wall mounted floating shelves in the kitchen are a great way to increase storage space.
7.
Up your storage game in the kitchen by installing shelves next to the cabinet space.
8.
Now dry your washed shirts on hangers by installing a rod over the laundry area.
9.
When it comes to storage, the hallway is the most ignored part of the house. A chic storage-cum-sitting unit will put this oft-ignored space to good use.
10.
Invest in an entryway storage unit and keep clutter from making its way into your living area.
11.
Make the most of your balcony by installing a sitting-cum-storage bench.
12.
Instead of going for the usual divider, get one with a storage built in. You wouldn’t believe the amount of storage space you’ll end up creating.
13.
Use a space-saving pull-down table cum wall shelf and save the space you would otherwise invest on a desk.
14.
Install utility hooks in the kitchen to store all your pots and pans.
15.
Wall hooks come in handy when you are running out of space. Use these hooks to hang your coats, scarves, bags and other bits and bobs.
16.
Who says hooks need to be dull and boring! Install colorful hooks in a pattern and hang everything you want.
17.
Believe it or not, shoes eat up more space than you think. Install creative wall mounted shelving to keep them all sorted.
