Built-In Storage Maximizes Space and Comfort



No matter how much you try to downsize, there's surely still to be stuff that requires considerable space and easy access. One of the easiest and most cost and space effective solutions is built-in storage, which works for all kinds of homes, from multi-family units to single family dwellings. Here are some ways a licensed general contractor can help you with creative and practical ideas for storing and displaying items:

Shelving: The possibilities are endless! Whether room additions for books, toys, and knick-knacks, better organization in closets, making sure that laundry or gardening supplies stay in one convenient place, garage or workroom space for tools, holiday wraps and decorations, or art or craft supplies, whatever you need it for, recessed shelving is the way to go.

Cabinets: Cabinet/shelf combos in the foyer are a great way for everyone to have their own space for outerwear, footwear, and accessories such as hats, gloves, scarves, backpacks, purses, umbrellas, and other miscellaneous items commonly needed when going out.

Seating: Up the cosy factor in your home with window seats that offer private nooks for reading, working, studying, or just taking a much needed break to relax or catch a power nap. Add cabinets for extra blankets, candles, seldom used kitchenware (perhaps the fancy plates that only come out at the occasional special occasion?), and whatever else could benefit from hidden display. Window seats are also neat lounge spots for cats and dogs!

Almost any space can be transformed during remodeling, such as below or alongside the stairs, within a kitchen island, nooks by the bathroom sink, or that awkward empty niche in the wall that you know can be filled with something.
