Whether you’re building a home addition or working on a bathroom or kitchen remodeling project, there are several ways to make room for all of your belongings. Partner with contractors to add space-saving storage solutions during construction. Here are a few ideas to inspire your design.

What Storage Features to Incorporate Into a Home

1. Cabinet Accessories

During kitchen remodeling, make use of all nooks and crannies by adding hidden features along the cabinets. For example, you can include rollouts of shelves, drawers, and pegboards to fill narrow spaces between cabinets, walls, and appliances. Use these pullouts to store utensils and pot lids. 

2. Built-In Dressers

Attics sometimes include shorter walls, known as knee walls, for structural support. If you’re finishing the attic, take advantage of this shorter surface by installing a dresser in that spot. This feature makes the attic more functional for storage and keeps some belongings out of sight for a more organized look.

3. Built-In Bookcases

Bookcases are ideal for displaying books, family photos, and trinkets. Create a beautiful focal point in the living room or master bedroom by having shelving built across an entire wall. Install shelves on either side of a window and connect them with a window seat to create a cozy reading nook.

4. High Closet Shelves

Make the most of a small closet by building up instead of making shelves overly deep. Add shelving up to the ceiling and store seasonal items or suitcases on the uppermost levels. With a tall closet, you have ample space for everyday items and potentially save money on a storage unit for seldom-used possessions.
