How to Maximize Storage Space with Custom Cabinets

Are you running out of storage space here in St. Louis? Luckily, there’s a lot more options available to you in your home than you think. The key is to get creative with storage, and to install custom cabinetry to help you achieve a great looking, clutter-free home. Below are ways you can do this thanks to the help of the designers at California Closets.

1. Make a More Useful Garage

The garage is a great place for storage. Why? Because more often than not, you’re the only one accessing it. Custom storage cabinetry in the garage takes into mind your quantity of storage and your design tastes for a beautiful look. Holiday décor, tools, sporting and gardening equipment and other items can easily find a home in the deep storage cabinets, drawers, shelves and baskets. Take advantage of every square inch by utilizing precious wall space.

1. Create a Custom Reach-In Closet

If you’re maxed out on space in the bedroom, fear not. A customized reach-in closet will help organize everyone’s items  — even the shoe obsessed.

• A custom-designed closet includes space-saving options, such as multiple hanging areas, adjustable shelving, drawers, baskets, and hampers.
• Pullout accessories such as belt, tie, scarf, and valet rods maximize space and organization.
• A set of drawers in a reach-in closet adds storage capacity and puts everything within reach. Our drawers feature dovetail construction, undermount slides, and quiet soft-close mechanisms to ensure superior quality and a lifetime of use.
• Options for on- or off-the-floor construction are available to fit budget, aesthetic, and storage needs.
• Take advantage of corners with custom solutions that maximize small spaces.

1.  Make Your Kids’ Playroom Storage-Friendly

Have you ever thought about incorporating storage into your kids’ play area?
Although it may seem impossible, you can sneak in storage easily. Here’s how:

• Drawers and baskets make it easy to go from playing with toys on the floor to placing them back in their designated storage spaces.
• Window-seat shelving creates a perfect nook for reading with storage for books underneath.
• Pullout baskets are ideal for storing multiple sizes and shapes of toys as well as clothing for easy visibility.
• Integrated desks create a space for working on projects or doing homework. Desk storage, from shelves with doors to drawers, can corral school supplies.
• Shelving keeps items off of the floor and in a dedicated space, making cleanup simple.
• Small storage areas and cubbies ensure that items like blocks and figurines always end up in their proper places.

1. Create a Multi-Purpose Laundry Room Area

Have you ever thought about redesigning your laundry room so that it has plenty of storage potential? In addition to having drawers, cabinets and shelving to organize your laundry and cleaning supplies, the utility room is a great place to store materials and conduct projects in. Upper storage and shelving for paper, scissors, tape and more will give you a dedicated space to work (with the addition of open counter space).

1. Make Your Spare Room a Multipurpose Room

The multipurpose room is a brilliant idea for those who want it all. Need a guest room but don’t want to sacrifice having a living area or home office? You can have both. A Murphy bed is an expert space saving solution that folds up and into the wall so that by daytime, you can use the space for whatever you want. Custom cabinets are integrated in the Murphy bed solution so that either you or guests can store items while the area stays clean.
