A storage room is a very useful space at home and if you manage to use it correctly it will ensure you an extra recurring space that is normally not used as much as it could be. At Aliseda Real Estate we tell you how to organize your storage room and make the most of its space to store everything you want.
A storage room has a multitude of uses. Many people use it to store furniture or utensils that they do not use and do not want to get rid of and others simply to store all their clothes when changing their wardrobe. But, above all, storage spaces are especially useful when moving, either before moving; housing everything that you will move from one house to another, or later; saving everything that you will not need in your new home or that you still do not know where to put.
But, sometimes even with a storage room, the space we have falls short.
Below we are going to give you some essential tips to optimize the space in your storage room to the maximum:
Tricks and ideas to organize a storage room and take advantage of its space:
Get rid of what you don't use.
Even if you just bought a storage room, you don't always have to store all your junk “just in case.” So look at all your things, and if you find something that you didn't remember you had and you no longer find use for it, get rid of it. Plus, you don't have to throw it away, you can resell it or give it to someone who will need it more than you. do inventory
We advise you to make an inventory or list of everything you have stored in your storage room, which you will have to complete depending on what you keep there, along with its location. This will be the most effective way to quickly locate any item you have saved whenever you want.
Organize your storage room with shelves.
Use shelves or place shelves to take up minimal space in your storage room. Wardrobes take up much more unused space, so shelves and shelves will give you a greater feeling of spaciousness and space.
The best option is modular shelves, which you can adapt to your needs, the space you have available and the objects you are going to store.
Furthermore, for small materials we recommend using a tower or drawer unit within the shelves.
Take action.
Before placing the shelves, be sure to measure the distance from the ceiling to the floor and calculate the maximum depth they can occupy without blocking doors or windows. As we have mentioned before, you need to have free space but sometimes it is enough to ensure a clear hallway where you can walk.
Use hooks.
Placing hooks on the walls can be one of the most useful and practical options in storage rooms, as they are used to place sports equipment such as bikes, helmets, hats, etc.
Keep in mind that if you place items on the hooks you must cover them with covers so that they do not get damaged when exposed.
Organize the content.
Organize your things between those that you need to have more on hand and those that you are not going to use so regularly. This way you can place the ones you use most at hand height, that is, they are easily accessible, and the ones you don't use frequently in the highest places.
Another infallible tip for organization is to number the boxes in the storage room, add a brief description or place signs on each of the shelves, so that you allocate each area to a different type of content.
