Decluttering 101

Before diving into storage solutions, start by decluttering and purging items you no longer need or use. Donate or sell items that are in good condition, and discard or recycle items that are no longer functional. Streamlining your belongings will make it easier to organize and maximize your storage space. Lets get our Marie Condo on – check out her tactics if you’re not familiar with her or struggle decluttering.

Utilizing Vertical Space

Make use of vertical space to maximize storage in small rooms or tight corners. Install floating shelves or wall-mounted cabinets to display and store books, decorative accents, and everyday essentials. You can also install concealed cabinets if you prefer a minimalist/ decluttered view. Hang hooks or pegboards for organizing bags, hats, and accessories in entryways or closets, or even include a few baskets under a bench seat to organize socks, shoes and hats or each child’s belongings.

Designated Pet Spaces

Create designated spaces for your pets to eat, sleep, and play. Consider built-in feeding stations, cozy pet beds, and dedicated play areas that blend seamlessly with your home's decor. Incorporate hidden storage solutions for pet toys, leashes, and grooming supplies to keep your space tidy and organized. If you prefer say, birds instead of a four-legged friend for example, think about the little playground you can make them in an area where everyone will feel safe with them being open to explore.

Multi-Functional Furniture

Invest in multi-functional furniture pieces that serve double duty as storage solutions. Look for ottomans with hidden storage compartments, coffee tables with built-in shelving or drawers, and beds with under-bed storage drawers or lift-up mattresses. These pieces are perfect for maximizing space in living rooms, bedrooms, and even home offices. If a multi-functional space is required, think about combining you office and guest spaces using a comfortable sofa bed as your office couch – like this Koala one we just adore.

Custom Closet Systems

Upgrade your closets with custom closet systems to maximize storage and organization. Install adjustable shelves, hanging rods, and drawers to create a tailored storage solution that meets your family's needs. Utilize closet organizers, bins, and baskets to keep items like accessories, and seasonal clothing neatly stored and accessible. We personally prefer a laundry basket in the bathroom or built into the wardrobe for ease and luxury.

Creative Storage Solutions for Kids' Spaces

Get creative with storage solutions in kids' rooms and play areas. Use bookshelves or cube storage units to organize toys, games, and books. Incorporate storage bins, baskets, and bins labeled with pictures or labels to encourage kids to clean up and stay organized. We recently placed a kids table from Ikea which has capacity for 2 lidded storage buckets to be housed under the table.

Maximizing Kitchen Storage

Optimize kitchen storage with clever organization solutions. Install pull-out pantry shelves, lazy susans, and drawer organizers to maximize space and keep items like pots, pans, and pantry staples easily accessible. Use vertical dividers and shelf risers to make the most of cabinet space and keep dishes and cookware organized.
