One of the biggest things that can make your home feel messy is clutter. Decluttering is all very well, but there is always going to be things you need to keep that you’ll be wanting to find a long term home for. In this post, I am going to take a look at some budget-friendly storage solution ideas.
If you feel like there’s always lots of ‘stuff’ all over your home then it might be time for a sort out. Once that’s done, you’ll need to find some ways to store everything.
Buying new storage doesn’t have to be expensive, but it can have a huge impact on how your home looks.
Bedroom Storage Solutions
It’s easy for the bedroom to feel cluttered. Even if you have lots of wardrobe space, clothes can still end up everywhere. And then it’s finding storage solutions for things like jewellery, make-up, shoes and books too.
Here are some things you can try to improve storage in your bedroom
- Add shoe racks to the bottom of your wardrobe. It keeps shoes tidy and makes great use of what can sometimes be dead space.
- Switch between winter and summer clothes. Bag clothes using a clothes storage bag at the end of each season. These bags can then be stored in the attic, under the bed or in a garage.
- Underbed storage can be a lifesaver for bedding, blankets, duvets and even books.
- Add extra hooks to the back of wardrobe doors.
Living Room Storage Solutions
The living room can be a tricky place to add extra storage, as there is usually already a lot going on with sofas, chairs, foot stalls, coffee tables and so on.
While adding shelving can be a great way to add storage, having items on display can also make a room look and feel messy.
Shelving units with boxes are a popular way to add storage to a living room. The storage boxes, mean items, especially toys, aren’t on display but they can also double as tables or somewhere to put the television.
Other options for adding storage to your living room could include building storage into alcoves and other wasted spaces, such as below a window and adding something that can double as both storage and coffee table.
Kitchen Storage Solutions
Do you ever feel like you have loads of kitchen equipment but nowhere to properly store it? Me too! In smaller properties, the kitchen is often one of the smallest rooms, so decent storage space can be hard to come.
That said, there are plenty of hacks you can use to make the most of every last inch of space that you do have.
Install A Ceiling Rack – These racks make use of ceiling space and can be used to hang pots, pans and utensils.
Magnetic Knife Rack – Free up drawer space by adding one of these to your kitchen wall.
Hooks On The Back Of Cupboard Doors – Hooks on the back of cupboard doors can be used for all sorts of things, from hanging cleaning products on to holding mesh bags full of fruit and vegetables.
Baskets On The Walls – Adding baskets to your walls is another thrifty way to add storage, especially in a very small kitchen.
I really hope these budget storage solutions help you add some extra storage space to your home without breaking the bank.
Bathroom Storage Solutions
When it comes to the bathroom you’ve got a wide array of options available for storage. These vary widely in size, style, and visual appeal from large pieces of bathroom furniture for those looking for more substantial solutions or wire baskets or shelving. No matter your needs there is a solution for you.
If you are looking to upgrade your bathroom storage you’ll want to take time to research your options. Bathroom Planet has created a vanity unit study which can help you make a smart choice if looking for a new vanity. Especially if you are looking to upgrade your storage with a tight budget.
Here are a few tips to improve your bathroom storage:
- In small bathrooms look to install narrower and taller furniture. This style takes advantage of the height of the room whilst not taking much space up.
- Opt for freestanding models over wall hung. As they go straight to the ground you’ll have more storage. Depending on your preferences this can be a choice between aesthetics and practicality.
- Switch your mirror out for a mirrored cabinet. This offers additional space for toiletries without taking up extra room. There are even some models which can be inset into the wall for a sleek minimalist appearance.
