Maximising your storage space at home

Are you trying to tidy things away but there’s already something in the designated space? Attempting to remove clutter but just uncovering another layer? Does any of this sound familiar?

No matter the size of the home, the issue of space seems to crop up again and again. Even after a big clear out, the clutter slowly but surely creeps up on us once more. It’s seemingly inescapable.

But worry not! Store That is here to rescue you from the clutches of your messy abode, and permanently transform your space into the organised, clutter-free home you deserve.

Kitchen Clutter

The kitchen is indisputably one of the busiest rooms of any home. Frequent visits to the fridge, meal after meal leaving the kitchen only to be replaced by a pile of dirty dishes, new supermarket purchases taking centre-stage in the pantry whilst forgotten foodstuffs pile up at the back. The kitchen is an area that is certainly destined to get messy. While spills and crumbs can be dealt with, clutter is what really causes problems.

Functionality is extremely important in maximising space in the heart of your home. Aim to use as much vertical storage as possible - lower racks are perfect for your frequently used items, whilst the higher spaces should be reserved for the bits and bobs you only get out on special occasions. Make sure to keep track of what food needs using, or throwing out, to avoid letting it pile up.

Bathroom Maximisation

The bathroom is likely to be one of the first rooms you visit each day. Being greeted every morning by a disorganized, messy space is not the optimum way to start a successful day. Taking a few simple steps to maximise your bathroom space could alter your morning routine for the better.

Make the most of open shelving units and baskets in any available space, behind the door for example, to help inject some organisation into this frequently used room. Door racks and shoe organisers can be perfect for storing a whole range of beauty products and accessories.

The Garage: Your Own Personal Storage Unit

The average garage often accumulates so much clutter and general mess that you may consider it to be a lost cause. On the contrary, the garage has the most potential for functional storage than any other room in your home. From Christmas decorations to BBQ essentials, sentimental goods to winter coats, the garage is the perfect home to any miscellaneous item you own. Why waste the space?

Overhead storage racks are a garage-necessity in the ongoing war against clutter, as are a variety of different wall fixtures, on which you can hang tools, bikes and even garden furniture!
