While many home remodeling projects are geared towards improving the aesthetic, it’s smart to also consider the functionality and organization of your space. Luckily, most general contractors have plenty of helpful renovation ideas to maximize your space and create more storage for optimal use. To get the most out of your project, think about how you can implement storage specifically for your needs. 

How to Optimize Storage in Your Home Remodeling

1. Closets 

The closets in your house should be used to store all of your most often-used items, including your clothes, shoes, keepsakes and home maintenance appliances. Unfortunately, they are often too small or do not house enough shelving to create a truly functional space. Ask your contractor about adjustable shelving and closet rods, so you can designate a place for each of your prized possessions and maintain easy access. 

2. Laundry Room 

The laundry room is an area of the house that often goes unaddressed and usually falls victim to clutter and piles of clothes with no structure. If you’re tired of spending time doing the task in disarray, there are several options to consider. A professional can construct built-in shelving and organized storage so that you can keep the room clean and clear of clutter without sacrificing access to your appliances and supplies. 

3. Garage 

The garage is infamous for housing all the extraneous items — from bikes and boxes of unused collectibles to antiques and even hazardous materials. While you may abide by the “out of sight, out of mind” idea, there is much you can do to organize the space and allow for more room and accessibility. By working with the right home remodeling contractor, you can implement ceiling storage, wall-to-wall shelving, and upgraded lighting that create defined, but discreet structure.
