Reinvision Your Space
It’s been over a year since people began working more from home and changing their lifestyle patterns due to the pandemic. This period has given homeowners a chance to see their homes in a whole new way and to reevaluate what works and what doesn’t.
One thing builders and designers are seeing more of in remodels and newbuilds is a request for more storage space. After spending so much time at home, homeowners more than ever want to declutter and simplify their homes. Fortunately, the folks at More Space Place have been figuring out how to organize your stuff since 2003; and they have some great ideas.
With more people people working and dining at home, it can be challenging to store all the stuff required for various activities from office work to schoolwork. No one wants to be overwhelmed by clutter all day, so getting organized and implementing dedicated storage solutions can keep everyone on track.
A good place to start is with closets. Customizing closets can maximize the vertical space utilizing every inch and allowing easy access to everything store there from clothing to seasonal items. You can even build a dresser into the closet for the convenience of having everything in one place. The custom designed closet can save time, money and aggravation because you can easily see what you have and find what you need. No more wasted time searching through clutter just to find that shirt or pants you KNOW you have some where. Closet rods can be set at heights to match your garment sizes. Adjustable shelving will help you find the perfect place for folded items, linen and shoes. Even the higher elevations of your closet can be used for seasonal and light weight items.
Another area that accommodates storage is the garage. Again, vertical storage with shelving can open the floor of your garage for what it was meant for–your car! Vinyl slat walls can hold hooks, shelves, baskets and many other vertical storage solutions. Garage Cabinets come in all sizes to give you the space you need to all your stuff! Ceiling racks provide space for large containers of holiday decorations, camping and sports gear, kayaks, and lawn equipment.
Many homeowners are having to turn the extra guest bedroom into an office or dual-purpose room. By replacing the bed that is used only a few times a year with a Murphy bed or Wall bed, you can still use the room for visiting guests while gaining an open space for a home office, craft room, classroom or man cave. It can even be used for Yoga or exercise to keep tension at bay. What ever you want. It’s your space.
The best news is modular cabinetry is now available in hundreds of colors and a variety of styles. Cabinets are available in all shapes and sizes to truly customize the room to fit your desired wants and needs. Contact your local closet and Murphy bed retailer who may just have the perfect space saving solutions so you can keep all your “stuff” without being overwhelmed by it.
