Maximize Your Closet Space with These Storage Tips
by APSense News Release AdminStorage is a critical consideration for
any new home build or renovation. While you can find custom and customizable
house plans at Truoba House Plans, bear
in mind that your closets require special attention. If you’re interested in
maximizing your closet space, we’ve got some important storage tips to share.
Focus on the Walls
Chances are good that your closet has at
least one wall that is being used, but that leaves at least two that probably
have some open space. Or, consider the space under the top shelf at the back of
the closet. This is prime real estate for things like narrow wall shelves and
even towel bars. What can you store with small options like this? Actually,
it’s pretty impressive.
·
Use narrow shelves to store
things like rolled belts, wallets, purses, and other items.
·
Use a towel bar to hold belts,
ties, scarves, and other items that can hang.
·
Use wider open shelves to hold
folded clothing items, ranging from t-shirts to blue jeans.
Modular Cube Shelves
Want to give your closet some extra storage
space while also modernizing the look and feel? Modular cube shelves give you numerous
options. Use the cubes to store folded items, pairs of shoes, handbags, and
more. The top can be used similarly. Also, consider adding a couple of cubbies
to the shelves. These are bucket-like containers that can be used to hold items
you’re not worried about displaying.
Use Shelf Dividers
Some clothing items really shouldn’t be
hung up. For instance, that awesome sweater that you love so much? Hanging that
up will distort the shape. Instead, fold it up. Use shelf dividers on your
large closet shelf to create separate space for particular types of clothing or
items.
Add Drawers
For many people, having access to drawers
is something reserved for furniture in the bedroom – that dresser, chest of
drawers, or nightstand, for instance. However, with a makeover, you can add
drawers to your closet. Even a small closet can be home to a modular drawer
system, but larger closets can house enough drawers to eliminate most of your
bedroom furniture.
Drawers are ideal for storing clothing that
you don’t need to display. You’ll have a few for your delicates, for things
like athletic wear and socks, but you may also want to store things like
t-shirts, jeans, and other items that don’t necessarily need to be hung up
within them. This allows you to save hanging space for coats, suits, dresses,
and other garments that should not be folded for storage.
Go Informal
Want to maximize the storage capabilities
of your closet but add a touch of fun or whimsy at the same time? Think about
using something nontraditional. For instance, you can use wicker baskets to
store a wide range of items, from wallets to handbags to sandals and flipflops.
You can also use baskets and other containers to store things like rolled
belts, rolled scarves, rolled ties, and a great deal more.
Stagger Your Shoes
Ideally, you’ll use a shoe rack or shelving
system, but if you cannot or prefer not to, make sure you stagger them. Place each
pair with one shoe’s heel next to one shoe’s toe. This limits the amount of
space each pair takes up and allows you to store more shoes.
Conclusion
These are just a few simple tips to help
you maximize closet space. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating your
current one, or just want to breathe new life into your current closet layout,
there’s a lot that you can do.
