Whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, storage space is always at a premium. Don’t you always find that you always fill the space that you have, no matter the size? It can be frustrating to have cluttered countertops or cramped closets, as well as being bad for your mental focus, but with some functional storage hacks, you can make the most of your space and keep your home organised.
Here are some tips to help you save space at home.
Use Vertical Space
One of the easiest ways to save space is to use vertical space. Instead of storing items on the floor or on countertops, consider installing shelves or hanging organisers on walls. Using garage shelving, for example, will free up floor space for a vehicle, bikes, or garden items that are bulky and need to be stored. You could also think about using warehouse racking or similar, in order to use up the space indoors, as well as a shed or garage. By using vertical space, you will free up floor space and make it easier to find what you need.
Invest in Multi-Functional Furniture
Multi-functional furniture is a great way to save space and make the most of your home. Look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes, such as a coffee table with built-in storage, or an Ottoman bed with drawers underneath.
Use Under-Bed Storage
The space under your bed is often overlooked, but it can be a great place to store items that you don’t use every day. Invest in under-bed storage containers or boxes to keep your items organised and out of sight.
Use Drawer Organisers
Drawer organisers are a great way to keep your items organised and prevent them from getting jumbled together. Consider using drawer organisers in your kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to make the most of your space and keep your items within easy reach.
Install a Pegboard
A pegboard is a versatile storage solution that can be used in almost any room in your home. By installing a pegboard on a wall, you can hang items such as tools, craft supplies, and even pots and pans.
Use Over-the-Door Organisers
Over-the-door organisers are a great way to make use of space that is often overlooked. Consider using over-the-door organisers in your bathroom, pantry, or closet to store items such as cleaning supplies, toiletries, and shoes.
Use Stackable Containers
Stackable containers are a great way to save space and keep your items organised. Consider using stackable containers in your pantry, closet, or garage to store items such as food, clothing, or tools.
Purge Your Unnecessary Items
Finally, the best way to save space is to get rid of items that you don’t need or use. Take the time to go through your home and purge any items that are taking up unnecessary space. You can donate or sell items that are still in good condition, and recycle or dispose of items that are no longer usable.
By using these functional storage hacks, you can make the most of your space and keep your home organised. With a little creativity and some thoughtful planning, you can create a home that is both functional and beautiful.
