How to organize a closet to create

extra storage space

 

by Lorraine Brock

We all have areas in our homes we call storage space, but not all storage spaces are created equal. Some of us have an abundance of these hidden spaces that contain the things we need and value, while others torture themselves by trying to squeeze too many things into tiny storage spaces we call closets. When designing a home, many home builders focus more on the visual spaces such as a large kitchen or big bathrooms, when in fact the more important feature is the availability of closet space to allow families to store items they identify as valuable. On the other hand, many home buyers do not recognize the lack of storage space when making a home purchase. They see large bedrooms, high ceilings, and beautiful kitchens as their vision of the perfect home. When they attempt to put away their belongings and create functional spaces, they realize there is not enough storage space.
