Storage. It’s the word which can be the bane of our existence but also our saviour too. From a walk-in wardrobe to hallway cupboards, here are some handy tips to keep in mind when you design your Claravale home to make sure you maximise your space in the smartest way possible.
Kitchen Containers
While the kitchen is the heart of the home, the temptation to shove all of your packets behind closed doors and dread the sight when you reach for the spaghetti can be strong. To keep things looking neat and tidy, opt for storage containers and decant your staples into them. This is a budget-friendly and impressive way to organise your cupboard space, while looking stylish too.
Open Shelving
An artwork in itself, open shelving can be the ideal place to show off your books, glassware or bigger bowls. While it may look like a statement piece, it’s also performing the function of storing those extra knick knacks around the home. We see these being popular in the kitchen and also the lounge and living areas.
Island Bench Storage
When it comes to drawing up your Claravale floor plan, consider an island bench. While it’s a beautiful statement piece for the home, it provides the chance to add some more cupboards and drawers too. With deep drawers for pots and pans and open shelves to stack those cookbooks or Thermomix, it’s a sleek and smart addition to the home.
Utilise Dead Space
From the little nook under the stairs to that empty hallway, search for new storage opportunities which can be filled with a shelf or a storage bench. It may be useful for your bits and bobs - like keys or shoes - to add some boxes underneath or stack some books.
Wall Hooks
Now that you have full control over your home, you can hang anything up without being told off for nailing something into the wall. Attaching hooks in hallways, dressing rooms or bedrooms for hats, scarves or wall hangings can perform a dual purpose; both a feature effect and also functionality too.
Hang tools in the garage
Forget about your brand new garage being the place to store your junk. Turn it instead into a place where you can hang up the rake, broome and other gardening equipment rather than leaving it scattered everywhere. Using hooks, wall shelves and lockers will leave you with an aesthetically organised look and you never know... it may even encourage you to do some actual gardening.
