Many of us find ourselves running out of space to properly store, display and utilize our goods.
So we’re sharing some creative ways to get the most out of the space we have in order to prevent having to let our items be forgotten in the attic.
The first installment, ‘Wall Storage‘, covered how to maximize rooms with tall ceilings, how to take advantage of narrow stretches of wall and how to place open shelves on the upper part of blank walls.
A unique wall-storage solution is to use wall-mounted baskets designed to hold flowers as multi-purpose storage in children’s rooms.
These baskets rest flush against the wall, which makes them great for toys, games, books and more. Being fairly inexpensive, buy one for each purpose in varying sizes to maintain visual interest along the wall.
Sometimes what we would need to store isn’t physical at all. Find a blank wall in a visible, high-traffic area of the home and use it to store information.
Find some interesting frames and transform them using chalkboard paint. Boards like these are great for posting chores lists, schedules, grocery lists and other valuable family information.
In areas like kitchens and hallways, try carving out sections of the wall between beams at eye-level, refinishing them and turning them into recessed storage. Using this technique, there is a ton of in-the-wall storage going unused in between the frames.
