7 Ingenious Ways to Add Storage to Every Room

Add storage to every room

Incorporating a MI-BOX® is just one of the ways to add extra storing space to any room in your home.

In today’s consumerism-driven world, you may find yourself looking for extra space around your home to store your smaller possessions. Whether it’s renting mobile storage containers, hanging a few extra hooks on the walls, or installing organizers in your cupboards or drawers, here is a list of some of the most ingenious ways you can save space while increasing your storing options.

 

1. Under-the-Bed Cubbies

This age-old hack has been around for decades, but lately it’s been revamped to accommodate not only additional items, but style too. Look for a bed base with built in cubbyholes and shelves, and you’ll be able to stash your stuff discretely and stylishly.

 

2. Double-duty Chests

Using a chest instead of a coffee table or side table is a great way to keep items tucked away out of sight without sacrificing the functionality of a table surface. These spaces are perfect for tucking away blankets and pillows, board games, and kid toys.

 

3. Antique Coat Racks

Bring back this vintage item into your home. Not only is it functional, but it’s also a statement piece. It’ll give you extra room for hanging your jackets, scarves, and hats, and it will look good while doing it.

 

4. A Wooden Laundry Hamper

Replace your canvas or linen laundry hampers with a handcrafted wooden one. These wooden chests will look more like a piece of furniture and less like a stash of dirty clothes. Plus, you can incorporate drawers along the bottom for even more storage space.

 

5. Wall-mounted Pot Rack

If kitchen space is a bit of an issue, consider installing a wall-mounted rack to hang your pots and pans off of. You’ll free up much-desired cupboard space, and if done correctly, add a little more visual appeal to your kitchen.

 

6. Stylish Shelves and Cubbies

Shelves with fabric boxes or wicker baskets can be great for housing items while maintaining a sleek and tidied appearance. These modified shelves are great for gaming accessories, kid toys, and smaller random items.

 

7. Consider a Kelowna Storage Container Rental

If after you’ve tried some of these smaller hacks and are still finding yourself looking for more hiding places, it may be time to consider a larger option. A MI-BOX® storage container can be parked right in your driveway or backyard. Load it up with boxes of knick-knacks, furniture, or garden tools to instantly increase the square footage of your home.
