From storage benches to custom walk-in wardrobes, there are many ways to keep clutter out of sight and out of mind. With a bit of planning and using the right tools, keeping your home tidy is easier than you think.
Maximise Bedroom Storage
If you have more clothes than a regular closet can accommodate, a walk-in wardrobe is the next best thing, provided that you have ample space for it. To maximise its functionality, tailor the space to your lifestyle and needs.
- Make sure it’s customisable, allowing you to easily swap clothes according to the season. One good option is to install adjustable shelving.
- Use pull-out drawers for accessories and add a full-length mirror for easier outfit selection
- Have proper lighting installed, so you don’t need to hunt for your next outfit in the dark
Add Custom Cabinets in the Living Room
Take advantage of every inch of vertical space for better living room organisation.
- With the TV in the middle, have shelves or cabinets built on the sides or around it for additional storage.
- Add open shelves to display decorative items or those that you regularly use
- Toys and other miscellaneous items that you want to hide away can go inside the cabinets
Maximise Available Kitchen Space
A cluttered kitchen makes food preparation less enjoyable and more stressful. Most people prefer to work in a clean and clutter-free kitchen. You probably do too.
- Add a pantry where possible to reclaim as much counter space as you can. It should be fitted with shelves so you can easily find what you need at a glance
- Use wall-mounted vertical racks for storing baking trays and chopping boards.
- Store cutlery, utensils, and even spices inside drawers to maintain a clear work area
- Install upper and lower shelves or cabinets and store items accordingly. Anything you use daily should be placed in lower cabinets, and the rarely used ones should go up.
Use Clever Organisers
With various nifty and clever organisers available, you can practically create storage space where there’s none.
- Use over-the-door organisers and make that door work harder for you
- A portable caddy not only serves as additional storage but also as a mobile cart to keep items within reach. Planning to cook alfresco? Use that caddy to bring out all ingredients.
- Use trays, storage bags, and stackable boxes to sort and organise just about anything. Go for the collapsible kind for easy storage when not in use.
- Consider using furniture with hidden storage options, such as a storage bench, a coffee table with storage underneath, and similar items.
Proper organisation starts with effective storage solutions. From the bedroom to the garden, there are many tools that will help you maintain a well-organised living environment. If you want a highly functional and visually appealing walk-in, Lifestyle Wardrobes WA is the company to call.
