7 Ways to Maximize Storage Space in Your House

As your family grows, grow your needs and expenses – food, commuting, clothes, and so on. And at some point, you will also need more storage space – to keep all of these and even more items – gardening tools, sports equipment, off-season gear and clothing, etc.

Thus, it is essential that you organize and utilize the space in your house to the maximum extent. In this article, you will find seven ways to maximize your storage space, ranging from decluttering your whole house and making the most out of your garage to using good storage solutions and renting an off-site storage unit, among other things. Read on and organize your house!

Declutter Your Entire House

Organizing your storage spaces should always begin with decluttering your house room by room. This means that you must get rid of old clothes, magazines, toys, shoes, books, etc. You can sell and donate items that you no longer need. Even if you simply put them in a box or a bag and store them somewhere in your attic or basement, you will save some space.

Also, don’t forget to get rid of unused furniture pieces, especially those taking up space in your house. Get rid of that recliner or sofa that no one uses anymore, or maybe that dining table with leaves that you never use. You can always donate these items or sell them.

Make the Most Out of Your Garage

A garage is one of the most critical storage spaces in your house. If you have a garage, make sure that you use it for storing valuable items (such as garden tools and sports equipment, camping gear, etc.) so that they are safe from external influences like moisture, extreme weather conditions, and pests. 

In order to make the most out of your garage, make sure to utilize its space to the maximum extent. You can do so by using the ceiling and space above the garage door as storage places, organizing tools and other stuff in categories, depending on their purpose, and buying various storage boxes and cabinets to arrange all the items neatly.

However, if you notice some repairs needed during the organizing process, make sure to deal with them right away  – whether it is insulation or your garage door. If the latter is the case, make sure to contact a Waterford garage door service or the one in your area to fix any issues immediately and minimize the possibility of any damage to your items.

Organize Your Closets

In addition to decluttering your house, you also need to organize your closets or maybe add contemporary styled storage cabinets in your house. Most people have many clothes – both new and old – which they rarely wear but keep in their closet. You should get rid of those outfits and replace them with new ones that you will actually wear. It is the same with shoes, bags, and other accessories.

Another thing that can make a big difference in the way your closet looks is folding things properly. When you fold your clothes and hang them on hangers in a neat and orderly manner, your closet will look neater and more organized.

Use Space Under Your Stairway

Space under the staircase is often neglected because it looks tight and impractical. But this is a great place to store things that you don’t use regularly but don’t want to throw away either.

An excellent way to use this space is to install shelves on the walls underneath the staircase so that you can store boxes and bags here. You can also install a ceiling-mounted shelf to store small items like laundry detergent bottles and other stuff. If you don’t want to spend money on building shelves or installing them on the walls or ceiling, you can simply place some bags and boxes here.

Use Good Storage Solutions for Different Areas of Your Home

How many times have you purchased storage containers and bags only to find out later that they don’t fit in your house? The answer is probably too many times! In order to prevent such situations from happening again, here are some tips on choosing the proper storage solutions for different areas of your house:

  • Garage. Shelving solutions for garages are essential – get everything off the floor and onto shelves so that everything is out of sight! You can even install wall-mounted cabinets here to store seasonal items, such as Christmas decorations and gardening tools.
  • Basement. You can also store boxes and bags in the basement, especially if you have a crawlspace or a sump pump pit.
  • Bedroom. Here, you can store off-season clothes in large plastic containers or in boxes that are closed with tape. Under-the-bed storage containers are also great for storing off-season clothing to keep it safe from pests and dust. However, these containers do not only look great but are also practical and convenient.
  • Office. If you work from home, you probably have many papers and documents that need to be organized. In order to keep your paperwork under control, you will need to use some storage solutions such as file cabinets or wall-mounted document holders. You can also build boxes with drawers and place them under your desk – this way, you will save valuable floor space.

Use Your Attic Space Wisely

Your attic is a great place to store things that you don’t use often but don’t want to throw away either. Here, you can keep old clothes and unused furniture, such as folding chairs or an old sofa. You can also put boxes and bags here if you don’t have enough space in your basement or garage. Just make sure that you don’t store anything here containing flammable liquids or chemicals – this may be dangerous.

Rent an Off-Site Storage Unit

If you don’t have enough space in your house for storing everything, don’t despair. There is a solution for that – rent an off-site storage unit. These units are great for storing big items or things that you don’t use often.

You can rent them either by the month or by the year. They are cost-effective and secure. The only downside is that they may be far away from your home, so you will have to spend some time traveling back and forth between your home and the unit. But if you find a unit located close to your home, this won’t be an issue.

Conclusion

Organizing your house is not an easy task, but it is well worth the time and effort. By doing so, you will create more space in your home, declutter your closets, and keep things clean and tidy.

But no matter how good your house looks, it is essential to remember that you will be spending a lot of time here, so you need to choose storage solutions that do look not only nice and neat but also are safe and practical.
