Every home, be it spacious or small, requires strategic storage solutions. Organizing your home with the right amount of storage space can feel like a daunting task and even be tricky. It requires the right type of furniture to ensure – a place for everything and everything in its place! A home that has planned storage solutions will always be well-organized. So, begin by decluttering and ordering the best home storage units for your place.
Here are nine ways to improve your storage strategies in every room to get a beautiful and organized home: –
1. The Entryway
The entryway or foyer is the first part of the house one enters. It has to look inviting yet offer some extra functional space. If the passageway is wide, use the area for a built-in cupboard floor to ceiling, a storage bench, a console table, or a shoe rack. On the other hand, if the passageway is narrow, use an ottoman with storage for seating, some decorative wall shelves, or even just colorful hooks and rails to hang keys and coats. The entryway, narrow or wide, will look even more inviting with a wall mirror reflecting light and giving the illusion of space.
2. Living Room
The Living room is the ‘socializing zone’ in the house. It is where family and friends get together. The room must always look organized and clutter-free. So, start by choosing accent pieces that double as storage or multipurpose furniture. Opt for a sofa-cum-bed, TV console with storage, or just a comfortable and colorful futon. Introduce wall sconces and built-in benches with drawers underneath to help free up floor space and customize the living room. A floor-to-ceiling built-in wall unit with some floating shelves will help to clear excess clutter and make space for decorative items.
3. Family Room
A family room is an informal, all-purpose room in the house. It is the perfect place for the family to gather for group recreation like talking, reading, watching TV, and other family activities.
Bookshelves, TV tables, baskets, and bins can add some beauty to your family room while still providing some practical storage solutions. You can also make it look cozy and comfortable with recliners and some colorful dhurries and carpets.
4. Dining room
