Need Increased Closet Or Storage Space For Your Bedroom?

By: Robert D. Thomson

When people venture out to to look at homes to buy, there are two features that are the first considered. These same two features are what can cause a potential sell to fall apart. The The most essential is the kitchen. If this room is not spacious and modern, the home gets a black mark. The next critical feature is the number and size of the closets. Most people demand storage and if a home does not offer enough closet space, selling it becomes more difficult. Another issue has to do with older homes that are notorious for having few closets and little space. In fact, many of the homes built in the late 1800s have no closets at all. The same issue exists for loft apartments. While they are sophisticated and roomy, the lack of closets leaves much to be desired.

Regardless of the closet size, if it is organized with the right organization, you will discover that you have extra space not ever considered. Many people try to find additional storage space by piling things to the side and often forget about overlook the overhead space. Anothersolution is taking two small closets and combining them into one closet with a small dressing area. Bedrooms with high ceilings are classy but they have a lot of wasted space. By building a third-tier space, you can hang out-of-season clothing and use shelves that are perfect for storing shoes, purses, hats, and other things that are seldom used.

Another great option for for increasing storage space is having drawers built inside your closets or if you have an old dresser that is no longer good enough for bedroom furniture, you can add a new coat of paint and place it inside the closet. These drawers provide both style and additional storage for ties, belts, undergarments, socks, and so on. If your closet has one bar going horizontal for hanging clothes , change the single bar to two bars or a full bar and a half bar. At your local hardware store, you can buy the end connectors for a few dollars and then from the hardware store, a home improvement store, or a lumber company, purchase a round piece of wood that measures the width of the closet to use as the bars. By moving the single bar higher, you can add a second bar below, literally doubling your hanging space.

Installing hooks on the back and side wall of your closet creates the ideal option for hanging ties, belts, purses, or hats. Consider purchasing an under-the-bed shoe rack or one that hangs over the back of the door. This will free up space on the floor of your closet for other things. You can buy a rectangular plastic box with lids for storing winter clothes, wrapping paper, pictures, or or whatever the situation demands, and then store it where your shoes used to sit. With a little creativity and a minimal amount of time and energy, you can turn your small closet into a space providing twice the original storage. Many businesses specialize in closet solutions that are effective. Look around your home to see to see if you already have things that can be used to to access more of your closet or visit one of these stores to see what special solutions they offer.
