With these easy tips, homeowners can maximize space immediately.

Get More Storage For Less Money

Track System

Closets may be plentiful, but if not efficiently utilized, space may still seem lacking. Track closet storage systems are far better than the traditional shelf and hanging rod systems. See here an example of customizable track systems.

Functional Beds

These typically feature cubbies or drawers within a platform-style bed frame. Just think of how much space in under a King-size bed.

Look Up

Maximize spaces by looking high up and down for the possibilities. Items you don’t need frequently, such as seasonal decorations or travel suitcases, can be stored in high spaces, shelving on walls can go as high as necessary and be put to use in awkward wall areas, such as in corners or under eaves.

Stopping Area Around the Doorway

A stopping area inside the main door replete with a storage-style bench can house shoes, umbrellas, hats, backpacks and other items, keeping them tidy and out of sight. Think of a typical mud room and how much space those can have.

Furniture

In living rooms, look for chests or ottomans that are decorative and functional. Store throw blankets or board games inside. Many couches these days have hidden areas to place your various things.

Rafters

Your garage eves and garage walls can have clothes rods or hanging shelves to create off-the-floor storage as well.

We want you to rent self storage from us but you may need a much smaller unit than you think.
