Many older homes were built with very free closets and less than adequate storage space. The living space may be ample, but the amount of storage space for that living space may not be appropriate for your needs. The more space efficient we can make your storage spaces, the less cluttered your home will be.
Start by evaluating all your storage needs together. Since you are so limited with storage space, allowing these areas to work together will be the first step to the organization. Existing closets should be designed to make the most out of those storage areas. Do not over clutter your bedroom closets,, basic everyday necessities can be stored here in an organized manner.
You may have to store out-of-season clothes or items not frequently worn in another area of your home. Designate an area in your basement or attic for the overflow of your closets and consider constructing a cedar closet.
Shelves and hanging areas can be designed into these areas to get your storage situation under control.
Building new closets into your home may be another solution to your storage problem. Closets can be designed and built into an area of your home. Freestanding closets can also be designed for your storage needs. Units can be designed with doors on to keep your storage areas enclosed. Freestanding closets can be easily taken with you if you decide to move, or you may move the unit to another area of your current home.
Consult your local closet design firm for expert respacing advice. Adequate storage space will certainly make your life easier and your home less cluttered.
