Space Saving Ideas for your Home
No matter how big our house is, we always seem to need more space. Maybe it’s for keeping something important to you or storing things away. Using space-saving ideas cleverly and judiciously can help a lot. You can use the space you already have differently, a win-win in my opinion.
So here are some space-saving ideas you can use in your new home.
Use your Stairs
Chances are, you have a blank wall at the bottom side of your stairs that just sits there. Definitely put that space to use- either put a hanging shelf that takes a few minutes for installation, or you can make it a library with multiple shelves. Put up a few hangers and you can use them as coats or hat hangers. Or you can create a space beneath the stairs to make it into a personalized nook- a pantry, a kennel, a reading corner, a meditation corner, etc. You can even put shelves within the stairs so each stair will have a shelf underneath. The possibilities are endless!
Bathroom Cabinets
There is just so much potential space to be used in the bathroom. In Indian households, the under-sink area tends to be ignored- especially in the case of pedestal sinks. However, there are shelves that are designed specifically to fit under pedestal sinks. Or you could just attach some sort of curtains underneath the sink and store things away without anyone being able to see them. If your sink is attached directly to the wall- the better! You can put them on shelves, baskets, etc. When you get sinks for a new home preferably get one with storage facilities.
Cupboards
This may seem like I’m stating the obvious- of course, cupboards help in storage, but hear me out. Most cupboards aren’t used to their full potential, which wastes precious space. We have cupboards with just a hanging rack for clothes and the space beneath is completely wasted. You could add shelves to such cupboards and store shoes or something else and the extra space beneath it. Having a section with shelves within the cupboard can also help store your pajamas and inner wear- stuff that you don’t necessarily hang up. Think of how you can organize to save space within the space you store things.
