If
one wants to give a spacious appearance to their apartment, they also find
space for storage. Here are some handy ideas for doing it.
When
one goes for shopping furniture then they should be one step ahead in their thinking.
A chest of drawers can provide more storage room than a side table and at the
same time it doesn’t have to be too large. A beautiful glass-topped table may
look good but a coffee table with drawers may be used to hide things. An open
and spacious appeal to their living room can be imparted by utilising furniture
that serves a dual purpose.
An
example of that is by choosing a bench which has a hinged lid for the end of a
bed or beneath a window. The space inside may be useful to store sheets, blankets,
extra towels, out-of-season clothes and toys. The centre table could be a piece
with a hidden storage space for putting away magazines, newspapers and other
miscellaneous household items.
Another
area that can be cleverly put to use is the space under the staircase where one
can build large shelves and get lots of extra space. A set of open shelf spaces
can be created on a blank wall and these will have aesthetic as well as
practical storage value. They can add some cheer to the room and will not
intrude on space. Most things in their room are unlikely to measure more than 5
feet. So, they should make shelves 12 to 18 inches below the ceiling for
displaying decorative objects, plants hats or photos. Ready made shelves with
mounting brackets can be found in any building supply store. In addition, one
can put up a structured wall unit or entertainment centre for housing books,
electronic equipment and space for decorative arrangements.
One
can make a home library with shelves extending from the floor to the ceiling
and this bookshelf can act as a room divider rather than having a wall. A
knee-hole desk with drawers can be used for files and office items instead of
having the usual open writing desk. These ideas give plenty of storage room and
do not intrude into the living area.
Imagine
how much space there is beneath a queen or king-sized bed. One can raise it higher
by providing taller legs. In order to have a dust-free environment without
clutter, built in wardrobes that extend from the floor to the ceiling are
perfect. One can made pull-out drawers under their bed for storing linen. An
unobtrusive bedside table can be made by using wall space for a table that can
be suspended. The headboard can be lengthened on both sides to use as a bedside
table along with a lamp.
In
the bathroom it is best to store things which are not decorative in a way that
they will be hidden. They could enclose shelves and cupboards behind doors. Bars
for towels may be fixed on the wall or can be hung on hooks installed behind
the bathroom door. One could fix short narrow shelves both above and below the
washbasin. Various accessories can be stored there.
All
the available space on the walls and corners must be used up in the kitchen.
Hooks over the cooking range can be used to hang big utensils that do not fit
into drawers. A pull-out tray at the bottom of the cabinet can be used for
smaller things. A low cutlery stand may be used as a counter table, chopping
board and preparation counter. For this, it only needs to be fitted with a rubber
wedge top. When one have to entertain Guests a tray rack on wheels is ideal. In
short a little ingenuity will go a long way in giving a spacious home with
plenty of storage space.
