Renovating your Closets and Storage

Article By Jennifer Weldon

A big complaint many homeowners have is that they simply do not have enough storage space. In today's tough housing market, the solution to this is probably not buying a larger home. In fact, with a little planning, design, and creativity, there is a good chance all of your storage needs can be met in your current home by renovating your closets and storage spaces.

Closets
Your closet's storage potential may not be maximized without the proper shelving. You should first assess how each closet is being used. For instance, if you have a multitude of shoes and sweaters, but not many hanging clothes, you may want to reorganize the shelving to include cubbyholes and more individual shelves. By installing a closet system for your specific needs you can maximize the amount of items a closet can hold. Wire shelving, melamine shelving, hooks, drawers and more can all be used to design a custom closet space. A professional closet professional can help you design a closet system right for you.

Storage Spaces
Storage spaces such as your garage, attic, and shed can be better used with the proper shelving. Installing hooks, wire or metal shelving, and cabinets will get items up off the floor and into neat compartments. You can store like items together, for instance seasonal lawn equipment should be grouped together. This will make it much easier to find what you are looking for in the future. You may be amazed at all the room you have in your garage or attic once items are properly organized and stored.

Comfort
By freeing up your storage areas and closets, you will gain space you didn't know you had. A properly organized garage can not only house the vehicles for which it was intended for, but you may find the extra room for your work shop, home studio, or garage band practice area. Proper organization and storage is the perfect opportunity to free yourself of unnecessary clutter. Donate items that you no longer use. Throw away broken items. You will feel much lighter after this purging process.

Value
Renovating your closets and storage spaces will add value to your home. Even if you are not selling now, in the future, prospective buyers will appreciate closet storage systems and a well organized garage and attic. They will pay more for these items because they are move-in ready. Having a clutter free and organized home will also make it more appealing and help it sell faster.
