Maximize storage in your custom home in these clever ways!
If you are building a custom home, you likely will have enough room to store all your belongings without much issue. However, every home design should be as efficient as possible, and having enough storage space can still be a problem even in a spacious house. Here’s how to increase storage in your home in a custom way.
Custom Places to Add Storage to Your House
Under the Stairs
If your home’s staircase runs parallel to the wall, there’s a chance you could add storage underneath it. It could be in the form of a closet where you can keep games or cleaning supplies. It could also be a set of built-in drawers where you can keep bulky objects or odds and ends.
Above the Doors
We don’t really use the space above doorways, do we? In the right setting, built-in cabinetry over and around a doorway can provide ample storage space that is subtle and out of the way. Unless someone pointed it out, it might not be easy to notice right away. Above-head storage is great for items you don’t need all the time.
In Steps
While this option is more popular in truly tiny homes, it could also be a clever way to add secret storage to your house. By lifting up the lid of each step, you can access various belongings.
From Floor to Ceiling
Using vertical space for storage is an excellent way to save floor space. If you want to maximize storage in your living room, for example, you might consider adding built-in bookcases that reach from the floor to the ceiling, using every bit of the wall to the fullest.
Under the Floor
If you want a truly unique home, you could add storage space under the floor or underneath raised flooring. It can be a surprising way to integrate hidden storage into your home.
In Furniture
Of course, there are many ways to increase storage in your home with furniture. Furniture with built-in storage, smart kitchen cabinet designs, shelving, and under-the-bed containers are all possibilities.
