Storage Solutions for Home

Are you dreaming of having more storage space in your home? Make your life easier and boost your home's value with these clever storage ideas from our real estate agents

  1. Window Seats
    Cozy, inviting window seats add a visual appeal that's hard to resist, especially in Sarasota homes for sale that get lots of sunshine. As a bonus, the seating provides valuable storage space that can be used to hide items like blankets, pillows, or toys.

  2. Mudrooms 
    Mudrooms originated with farms in rural areas, but today they're a popular amenity in any type of house or neighborhood. These informal areas generally hold boots and outerwear, gardening equipment, and other items that are frequently used but hard to store. Home improvement sites have numerous ideas on turning a laundry room or entryway into a functional mudroom.

  3. Built-In Bookcases 
    Bookcases are the MVPs of home storage. They're practical, come in all kinds of styles, and can be used to hold a variety of items. Want more bang for your buck? Consider installing built-in bookcases, which have all the benefits of regular bookcases with the advantage of saving space. Think about how stunning a matching set of built-in bookcases will look flanking the fireplace!

  4. Backyard Sheds 
    Have your family's cars, tools, bikes, and lawnmowers outgrown the garage? Home improvement stores carry outdoor sheds in a wide range of sizes and prices to accommodate any budget. While the weather around Bradenton homes for sale is nearly perfect, these sheds are durable enough to withstand most conditions.

  5. Raised and Loft Beds 
    Underneath the bed is a classic, time-honored storage solution. Multiply the open space to a greater degree with loft beds. If you're one of the people working from home, this is a great way to make room for a desk. It's also a nice idea for kids who love sleeping high up.

  6. Above Doorways
    Design experts frequently suggest using vertical space to expand storage options. The space over doorways is often overlooked, literally and figuratively. Why not put up some shelving in these otherwise vacant spots? In addition to serving as storage, these shelves can hold decorative items that bring a touch of whimsy to a room.

  7. Appliance Lifts
    Stand mixers, food processors, and other large appliances take up a lot of real estate on a kitchen counter. Appliance lifts keep these machines out of sight until you're ready to use them when they can be raised up to countertop height. The same principle is behind slide-out racks that organize pots and pans for easy accessibility.

  8. Beneath a Staircase 
    Underneath the stairs is another normally unused area that offers great potential for storage. Despite the irregular shape, the generous space allows for larger items. You can also incorporate shelving, cabinets, and other organizing aids. 

  9. Cabinets
    This may not sound like a particularly original idea, but kitchens and bathrooms sometimes have faux cabinets that look pretty but are a total waste otherwise. Functional cabinets look just as attractive while making good use of valuable space. 

  10. Laundry Pedestals
    Washer and dryer pedestals are a true win-win. You get additional storage in an area where space is at a premium, plus laundry time creates less stress on your back.
