Make Use of Dead Space with Unique Storage Solutions

July 10, 2019

Especially if you have a small space or a large family, finding storage solutions that keep your home clean and organized can feel like a chore. Yet you may have more space in your home than you think. Dead spaces often exist in our homes that don’t seem like enough to worry about, but they all add up to missed storage opportunities. Here are some examples of dead space that you can turn into organized storage solutions.

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 creative storage solutions can transform even the most awkward spaces. Whether you live in a small apartment or a large family home, we can help you maximize every square inch.

Let us explore three types of dead space you can convert into valuable storage solutions.

Corners

In almost every room, you will have at least one corner that remains unoccupied by furnishings or decorations and has no practical use. Even the smallest corner spaces can easily become customized storage solutions. You can install a small closet in larger corner spaces. In smaller spaces, you can install shelving systems. These can hold craft supplies, toys, board games, video game systems and games, DVDs, music, stereo systems, or any number of other items.

Bottom of Closets

Traditional closets feature a completely open space with possibly one shelf and a hanging rod. The vast open space below the hanging rod often goes to waste because stacking or organizing belongings in this area proves difficult without spending a lot of money and time on totes and organizers. Even then, accessing your belongings may remain a challenge. With custom closet storage solutions, you can make use of all the space in your closet to gain valuable storage you previously could not use.

Upper Wall Space

If you have at least one room where you don’t have a lot of decorations or tall furnishings, you probably have unused space that you don’t even think about. Shelving solutions can often be customized and installed in the upper portions of your home. This can give you a place to display your most prized possessions while storing them safely in a clean and organized way.
