5 Ways To Create More Storage In Your Home

Too much stuff and not enough space? Our first tip is to edit! But if you’ve already done that, it’s time to get creative. Below we’ve rounded up 5 smart ways to create additional storage so every item has a home. 

Elfa Back of Door Organizer

A great way to maximize your space is to get creative with the space that you might not realize you have! One of our all-time favorite maximizing-space solutions is the Elfa Back of Door Organizer. This customizable storage solution can be used on the back of doors or even on a wall. Outfit your unit by selecting from a variety of basket sizes, as well as peg boards with multiple hook, tray, and bin options. This system can either be hung or drilled in, depending on your preference. Use this solution in closets, bathrooms, pantries, laundry rooms, this list goes on!

Over The Door Shoe (and more!) Storage

While we’re on the subject of back-of-door storage solutions, check out this over-the-door shoe organizer! This organizer gets your shoes (cleaning supplies, kid items, or really anything!) stored off the ground and takes up hardly any space to do so. The organizer can be purchased with two different hook size options, depending on the depth of your door. This solution is also a great way to organize grab & go items like sunglasses and winter accessories.

Stackable Drawers

Under-sink storage can be a pain to organize- we call this area the “black hole” of the bathroom or kitchen because it’s so easy to lose things as they pile up, getting stuck behind pipes and lost in the back of the cabinet. Stackable drawers are our favorite way to maximize storage in this tricky space and solve the solution of nothing getting pushed to the back. They come in multiple sizes (small, medium, and large), making it simple to create a customized setup for holding anything you need to.

TIP: If you have a pedestal sink, check out these opaque drawers! They mimic the storage of an under-sink cabinet while maintaining a clean and streamlined look.

Create an Art (or anything!) Cart

Tiered carts are the ultimate mobile organizational system. Most often used for art supplies, this tiered cart allows you to separate categories by tier, keeping art supplies tidy and accessible. You can further distinguish between categories on each tier using these SmartStore tall inserts. Plus, you can even add on cups and hooks if you need space for additional storage. We also use these for our clients to create portable changing stations for newborns, for office supplies, and even as an extension of your bathroom storage. The best part is you can easily wheel this cart away to store in a closet out of sight when not in use.
