STORAGE SOLUTIONS for a Clutter-free Home
If clutter is taking over your home (and life), these tips will have you feeling serene and your spaces super organized. Whether it’s taking advantage of those under-used areas or creating new alcoves and built-ins that become part of your interior design, here are some great storage solutions to get you organized.
Disappearing Act STORAGE WALL
A neat storage wall can magically declutter your living room and create a very clean, minimalist look.
Use NOOKS and CRANNIES
Part of good storage design is simply finding effective ways to use those nooks and crannies that often go to waste. One common example is the space below the stairs.
Utilize Space UPPER WALL
The upper portion of a wall is commonly left empty, but by installing shelving this underused space becomes the perfect place to display pictures, books, etc.
Do DRAWERS
Drawers make it easy to stay organized and hide clutter.
Redefine the SLIDE-OUT CUPBOARD
A close relative of the drawer is the slide-out cupboard. This thinner version works well in a kitchen and can be used for utensils, towels, and rows of herbs and spices.
CATEGORIZE Your CLUTTER
Organizing your drawers will instantly make your life simpler (if you can be disciplined enough to put things back in the right place).
Design the ALCOVES
Non-structural walls and furniture pieces are perfect for creating alcoves, thereby providing extra storage space.
Objects as ART
Put the things you use often — musical instruments, bicycles, etc. — on display by installing hooks or rails.
In the DETAILS
Clutter comes in all shapes and sizes, making it difficult to keep your space tidy. This pegboard is a great solution.
