If you have a small home, a small apartment, or a small cottage off of a main house, it can seem like there is just no good place to store your stuff. Many people try to solve this problem with storage totes under tables, beds, or chairs, yet you would be surprised at the unused space in your home. Here are three common misconceptions about storage in small spaces.
At Total Design Source, we have partnered with custom home builders, remodelers, and homeowners across Tampa Bay since 2001. Our design studio consulting experience has taught us that storage in small spaces requires creative thinking and custom solutions. Whether you live in a tiny home, an apartment, or a cottage, we can help you maximize every square inch.
Let us debunk three common misconceptions about storage in small spaces.
Even the smallest of spaces usually has at least one closet, but one closet may not seem like enough space to effectively store your stuff. This is because of the way most closets work. Most traditional closets feature only one or two shelves and hanging rods. This design does not maximize the space for effective use. Our expert design team can use unique storage in small spaces solutions to transform your closet, so that you can store more items in a more organized way.
| Solution | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Adjustable shelving | Adapts to your changing needs |
| Double hanging rods | Doubles your hanging space |
| Custom drawers | Organizes smaller items |
| Pull-out racks | Easy access to deep storage |
| Floor-to-ceiling units | Maximizes vertical space |
Many people believe that the only extra space in their home lies under their bed, chairs, or sofa. People buy a variety of plastic or cloth storage bins to store items in these unused spaces, but these are not the only unused spaces in your home or apartment. There is usually a lot of unused space in corners or small walls that you can easily convert into storage in small spaces solutions with our help.
Many people feel that living in a small space offers only a short-term solution because they do not have enough space for all of their stuff. Any organization they attempt looks like a temporary fix for a temporary situation. However, storage in small spaces can provide long-term solutions. A good example of this is the tiny house boom. Tiny homes now feature extensive storage, sometimes more storage than you will find in a two-bedroom home. We can develop similar storage in small spaces solutions for your home.
