Additions of Closets and Storage in Your Bedrooms

Adding more closets to the bedrooms will cut down on clutter. If you do not have the space to add a walk-in closet, these ideas will help you add extra space for clothes and accessories:

• Closet storage systems: You can buy these prefabricated, and they come with directions for installing them in various configurations to meet your clothing storage needs.
• If you are handy, you can also build your own, or you may want to get a local contractor to create them for you.
• This way, you can specify exactly what you need in each room, such as additional hanging space for your son's collection of t-shirts or extra shelving for your collection of bins filled with vintage hats.

• Portable closet systems: These can be as simple as rolling metal laundry racks to hang clothes from, which fit in well with a modern or industrial look.
• Portable closets may be as elaborate as a carved wood cabinet to store clothes and fashion accessories.

Additions of Closets and Storage in Your Kitchen

Kitchen storage is important in any home. Custom-made pantries can make the difference between a cluttered kitchen and an organized one fit for a top chef. Having your culinary items, from spices to utensils and cookware, in one place allows you to enjoy cooking and baking more.

Some ideas for kitchen storage systems include:

• Spice racks: These can go behind cabinet doors, on the used wall area above the stove or in any nook or cranny.
• You can buy spice jars in many different sizes and designs. Some are even magnetic, so they can hang from the side of the fridge or on another large appliance.

• Food shelves: Use different sizes of wire or plastic shelving inside your cupboards or pantry to organize all your cans, boxes and jars.
• These shelves can more than double the functionality of your storage spaces, allowing you to stack your goods in a way that lets you see exactly what you have in the cabinets.

Adding Closets and Storage in Other Living Areas

Bring storage solutions to other areas of your home to make it more livable and functional.

Some ideas include:

• Add shelving in your bathroom for toiletries or collections such as perfume bottles or vintage soaps.
• Bring media storage solutions to your living room or family room to hold your movies, music or games.
• Depending on the look you are going for, you may either want to keep them hidden away or have them custom-built and showcase them.
