What to do when you think you have used up every possible area for storage and need some more? Every corner of our home or holiday home (if you happen to own one) is usually consists of extra spaces which we can turn into a storage. Customize those nooks and crannies and see how much more space you can squeeze out of them. Here are some examples: Under the Stair. That triangular space under a staircase is the ideal place for shelving and boxes. Make the boxes and decoration bright and cheerful and you will love putting Knick knacks there. This area can also be used as an additional bookcase, a place to put winter boots and gear, a clothing rail can provide additional wardrobe space - even just a few hooks will do the trick. Hallway and landing areas. Do you have a hallway or other area at the top of a landing? These are ideal places where bookcases can be set up - be they all along a wall or just a small triangular corner-filler. Alcoves and other architectural niches. They provide great opportunities for unusual sitting and storage solutions. If the view out a window is appealing, how about a sitting area with lots of pillows? Keep pillows in monochrome tones and the area will appear larger. A well placed mirror will reflect the view into the interior and thus bring the outside in. The space below the sitting area can also be put to good use with containers on wheels. Passage areas. If you have an unused passage area from one room to another, consider placing overhead cupboards to keep office supplies and files out of sight, a trestle table and a chair for an instant office space. Or how about a little vanity area with a large mirror and some hooks for favorite jewelry? Sliding doors and unused doorways provide an ideal place for narrow objects such as DVDs, CDs and the like. Consider transparent shelving for an unusual effect, especially if the back is open - all items will seem to float and make for a visual double-take. An unused doorway in a kitchen can be easily fitted out with some shelves and used as a display case for spices, kitchen gadgets, staples and ingredients that do not need refrigeration. An added advantage is that you can see everything you have all at once, rather than having to dig into the back of a deep shelf. Consider also making the sliding door transparent keeps out the dust, yet allows that special visual check. Using up the extra space in your home or holiday home rental property will is certainly a smart way to decorate. Not only that it provides extra space for your decorations, books and other not-so important things, but it also gives a unique ambience and serve as a decoration on the area where its located.
