Organising a small house can be tough work. Even larger properties that don’t have attic or garage space can be a nightmare when it comes to storage and therefore, whether your home is a bijou abode or simply lacks a garage and attic, understanding how best to arrange storage will make a huge difference to how spacious and attractive your home happens to be.
The first thing to do is to have a good clear out. We all enjoy hoarding items we have absolutely no use for (although some enjoy this a lot more than others) and clearing out belongings that really aren’t needed can often free a great deal of space. Getting rid of clutter will not only make a home look more attractive, but it will also make it safer by removing potential trip hazards.
Using storage under beds and sofas can help a great deal too, as can simply buying smaller items of furniture to free up space for extra storage. However, the most important thing to focus on when you have a small house to rearrange will be shelving.
Instead of buying generic storage units, it will make far more sense to buy shelves that are designed specifically for what you need to use them for and specifically for the space you have available. Whilst you may well be able to find the perfect pre-fabricated storage unit from a company dedicated to producing great storage solutions, the best bet will usually be to design your own.
By finding a site online that allows you to use design wizards to create your own bespoke unit, not only will your storage units fit into your space perfectly, in turn utilising wall and floor space as effectively as possible, but they will also allow you to maximise shelf space too, having specific sections sized for very specific items. Such an approach could free up a huge amount of space and make your home look far more impressive and comfortable at the very same time.
