Have you wondered if there are more storage options in your home? We want to maximize our storage options<\/a> with value, function and flair. The value of additional storage is to easily access what we need and have a home for all items. It is most functional when we use additional storage in an area where those items are needed. Of course we want an attractive option with flair.\u00a0 Check out these 15 ways clever ways to be more organized and functional with the space you have.<\/p>\n

A note of caution before we proceed. Having more storage space is not license to over purchase. Keep in mind realistic amounts of purchases with respect to your and your family needs.\u00a0 It’s tempting to over stuff our space so refrain from creating a difficult to access amount of items in your home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go vertical<\/h3>\n

There is a lot of wall space in your home and your garage. Use taller bookshelves, add additional upper level shelving, and use over the door storage to add storage options.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Categorize<\/h3>\n

Group items you use together in the space these are used. When grouped together, you can consolidate the amounts in a clear container.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Find under, upper and lower space<\/h3>\n

You can store items that you need less access to in less accessible spots. Use shallow, under the bed storage with wheels or shoe organizers under your bed for additional storage. Add flair with a decorative basket for upper store.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Double up<\/h3>\n

Use furnishings as storage<\/a>. Think ottoman with hanging files, dresser as gift wrap organizer, or closet as an office space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Divide up<\/h3>\n

Use dividers in spaces to create function and access.\u00a0 In your junk drawer have slots for each item stored there. In a room, use a screen or an IKEA bookcase<\/a> as a room divider and storage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clever containers<\/h3>\n

Decant<\/a> into your favorite glass container or use a favorite tea tin as storage in your spaces. These items turn visual clutter into attractive, functional organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zone options<\/h3>\n

Segment spaces in a drawer or a room by thinking about zone options. A zone is a space or area dedicated to one use, within the space itself.\u00a0 A kitchen is a great example with the zones for prepping, cooking, serving, and containing leftovers. By adding specific zones, you are grouping items you use together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Store on the back of any door<\/h3>\n

The back of any cabinet or closet door<\/a> is great to add storage with either a shoe organizer or rack.\u00a0 It makes access super easy for any items. Use cabinet doors to store towels, paper towels or rubber gloves. Use any closet storage for toys, grooming items, jewelry or any small items.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hire a professional<\/h3>\n

It’s not a luxury to hire a professional organizer, closet designer and\/or installer for your home. It adds value to your home sale which sells your home quickly. You will enjoy your closet, most especially your primary closet, with more space dedicated to your personal needs. Professionals come to your home with ideas you can implement on your own.<\/p>\n
