Where to add hidden storage in your home? Well, just about anywhere! There are typical places — like your garage — and some not so typical places like inside your stairs. If you’re looking for more places and spaces, here are some ideas to maximize your home’s storage capacity this year.
- Appliance Towers or Garages: These custom cabinets hide all the small appliances in a kitchen, instead of having them sit on the countertop. This frees up space to really get hands-on with your cooking!
- Toe-Kick Drawers: Hidden flat shelves located in the baseboards can store cookie sheets and other flat items in an out-of-the-way-space in your kitchen.
- Bed-Frame Drawers: Utilize that space under the bed, in the headboard and around the sides of the bed to add drawer space for extra sheets, blankets, pajamas and the like.
- Hidden Hair-Care Appliance Storage: Turn a cabinet into a pull-out organizer for your hair dryer, curling iron, brushes and hair care products, just like a real salon.
- Staircase Drawers: Turn each drawer into a secret pop-out drawer for storing winter boots, gloves and scarves and other seasonal items.
- Hidden Compartment Furniture: Choose coffee tables that open up for game or toy storage. Ottomans with a lid that opens to reveal space for blankets. Side tables with a big toy drawer at the bottom. Disguising the clutter of everyday life inside your furniture keeps rooms neat and tidy.
