Creative Storage Solutions to Suit Your Lifestyle

Here in New York, sometimes you have to get downright creative when it comes to storage when you live in the big city of Manhattan or Brooklyn. The designers from California Closets put together several options on how to help.

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. 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. Create Entertainment Area Storage

If you love to watch movies and entertain, make it multifunctional by incorporating storage within. Deep custom cabinets, drawers, baskets, and shelving offer plenty of space to store miscellaneous items for your home, and guests will never know. Selecting a beautiful material and finish will dress it up too, elevating your home and increasing its value.
