Hello Everybody, Chris Town Again, Owner Of Town Construction And Development And Here With Some More Great Tips On Home Storage Improvements You Can Do For Your Seattle/Shoreline Home
No matter how large your home is, you could always use some extra space. Throughout our lives, most people accumulate a lot of possessions. Chances are that sooner or later, you are going to run out of places to put your things. Instead of living in cramped conditions and constantly tripping over something, it’s time to utilize the vertical space in your home. We will take a room-by-room look at how to create more space in your new home with vertical storage.
General tips
First, let’s get into the right mindset. Moving into a new home is the perfect time for any creative project. Do things in a logical order since that will save you time, money, and nerves. It’s always best to renovate before moving in because the home will be empty, and you can take your time and go all out when remodeling.
When renovating, see if there is any room for built-in cupboards. These are perfect for keeping things compact, as they don’t take up an inch of floor space. Utilize hollow walls or any space below staircases for storage and give yourself a bit of breathing room. Moving to a new home and choosing to renovate is also the perfect time to declutter. Use the renovation as an opportunity to get rid of items you don’t need, and there will be fewer things for you to store.
Start approaching storage issues vertically and imagine your possessions and furniture take up the cubic volume instead of floor area. Now you are thinking in three dimensions. When you go shopping, always look for tall shelves and hanging racks. By hanging as many things as you can on walls, you will create more space in your new home with vertical storage. Floor-to-ceiling shelves and cabinets are going to become your new best friends when you realize how much space they can save you.

Here is how to create more space in every room in your home:
- Living room
The living room is where most people lose a lot of space due to large and bulky furniture. Perhaps some of that furniture can serve a double purpose and be used for storage as well. Purchase sofas,
couches, and divans that have compartments for storage. They can be used to hold anything from blankets and bed covers to old Christmas ornaments.
Tall cupboards are the way to go. Try replacing your old cupboards and wide credenzas with tall models that have more drawers and storage compartments.
Avoid excess furniture wherever you can. For example, you can use a wall mount for your TV instead of putting it on a separate stand that will take up more space. Maximize the use of large living room walls and adorn them with shelves.
- Bedroom
Vertical storage doesn’t only mean utilizing high ceilings and walls. You can create more space in your new home with vertical storage by using the space beneath your furniture. A great way to do this is by putting unneeded items under your bed. Instead of just pushing loose items under the bed (which can be really unsightly), we recommend that you find the perfect packaging and box up your possessions before storing them. Closet organizers are another massive boost to your bedroom storage, as they will help you utilize the closet space to fit more things.
Pick accessories that double as storage.
- Bathroom
Most bathrooms in modern homes are on the small side and tend to be cramped. When remodeling your bathroom, try to pick out accessories that all double as storage. The countertop that goes with your bathroom sink is usually quite high above the floor level, and it can fit a lot underneath. Use it to store cleaning utensils, spare rolls of toilet paper, and all the other things you need for your bathroom but would like to keep out of sight. Pick out a mirror that also doubles as a medicine cabinet.
Again we recommend trying to use the walls to their full extent. Use them to hang towel racks and place some shelves higher up on the same wall. If space is a concern, you might want to give up on having a bath and replace it with a shower cabin. Get hanging shower organizers with multiple compartments and place them inside your shower cabin.
- Kitchen
One of the most popular kitchen remodeling trends in Seattle are kitchen islands. While they take up a lot of space, they more than makeup for it with their versatility. Kitchen islands can be used as a prep area, dining table, and work surface. However, many people fail to utilize vertical space to its full potential. Hang pans above your kitchen island to feel like a master chef and save a bunch of space at the same time. Use wall-mounted pot racks and high shelves to give yourself room to maneuver around the kitchen. A multi-level dish drying rack positioned above your sink is an excellent option for smaller kitchens.
Organize your cooking utensils on hanging racks like a master chef.
- Outdoors
Even your patio and backyard can be put to use if you think vertically. You can satisfy your gardening needs even if you have a small yard by installing a living wall. Lush vertical walls require very little maintenance while adding a tremendous amount of character to your home. Patio and garden furniture can also double as storage for gardening tools or children’s outdoor toys. Store your excess items in a compact shed to save as much surface area as possible. This will allow you to enjoy a spacious and clutter-free yard while still giving you a place to store your tools.
In conclusion
We hope you have enjoyed our article and that you have some exciting renovation ideas for your new Seattle home. As you can see, it is possible to create more space in your new home with vertical storage. Our tips can equally be applied to large houses and small apartments since everyone can benefit from less clutter. Instead of tripping over boxes or walling yourself up with innumerous shelves, you can go tall and use vertical storage to gain additional floor space.
