10 Smart Storage Hacks to Maximise Your Space
Struggling with "stuff" everywhere! Whether you’re in a small apartment, a family home, or a garage packed with stuff (look for our video of our garage!!!!), smart storage solutions can help you reclaim space and stay organised. Here are 10 easy and effective storage hacks to keep your home neat and tidy.
1. Use Vertical Space
Make the most of walls by installing floating shelves, pegboards, and hanging organisers. Perfect for kitchens, garages, and home offices.
2. Optimize Under-Bed Storage
Utilise the space under your bed with storage bins, rolling drawers, or vacuum-sealed bags for seasonal clothes and bedding.
3. Maximise Closet Space
Use slim, non-slip hangers, hanging shelves, and double rods to maximize wardrobe space. Add over-the-door organizers for shoes and accessories.
4. Install Hooks & Racks
Wall hooks, over-the-door racks, and adhesive hooks help keep coats, bags, and tools off the floor and within easy reach.
5. Use Multi-Functional Furniture
Opt for furniture with built-in storage, such as ottomans, coffee tables with shelves, and beds with drawers.
6. Label & Categorise Everything
Use labeled bins, baskets, and dividers to keep similar items together. This makes it easier to find what you need quickly.
7. Hang Pots & Pans in the Kitchen
Free up cabinet space by installing a wall-mounted pot rack or using hooks inside cabinets to hang cookware.
8. Utilize the Back of Doors
Hang organisers on the back of pantry, bathroom, and closet doors to store small items like cleaning supplies, toiletries, or spices.
9. Store Seasonal Items Efficiently
Pack away out-of-season clothes, holiday decorations, and bulky items in vacuum-sealed bags or labeled storage bins in the garage or attic.
10. Think Outside the Box
Use unexpected spaces like under the stairs, above kitchen cabinets, or even repurpose bookshelves for creative storage solutions.
