Keeping your home looking uncluttered requires innovative storage solutions especially in contemporary style interiors. Even if you live in a smaller abode, it is possible to be seamless and stylish about storage, optimizing your closet space and being efficient about putting stuff away.
One storage-friendly style of bed you might consider is the captain’s bed, featuring drawers in the bed frame under the mattress. It is, of course, an uncommon yet efficient use of storage space. However, if the captain’s bed does not suit your style, you can also use baskets to function similarly under the bed.
Another not much used but innovative storage solution is building shelving systems along walls and uncommon areas like behind doors. Just make sure they are closed shelving units to keep the mess out of sight. Keep items you hardly use out of view but feel free to keep much-used items. For example, a spice rack in the kitchen remains attractive while keeping organized.
While armoires and other cabinets are great places to store your clothes in, open wire shelves and free-standing, enclosed closets can be used in your closets to bring some order and extra surfaces to store folded or hung garments in.
In addition, your choice of hangers can also make storage more efficient as well as free up a lot more room. For instance, double up on space using combination pants/shirt hangers.
It’s important to find the time to remove the clutter your space. No time like the present, the transition from summer to fall is a great time to start!
Do you prefer the clutter-free environment of contemporary homes or does it seem too bare and not feel “lived in?”
