Need More Closet Or Storage Room For Your Bedroom?

By: Robert Thomson

When people venture out to to look at homes to buy, there are two features that are the first considered. These same two features are what can cause a potential sell to fall apart. The The first is the kitchen. If this room is not roomy and updated, the home fails to draw interest. The next critical feature is the number and size of closets. Most families want and need storage and if a home does not offer satisfactory closet space, selling it becomes more difficult. Another scenario has to do with older homes that are notorious for having few closets and little space. In fact, some of the homes built in the late 1800s have no closets at all. The same holds for loft apartments. While they are sophisticated and roomy, the closet situation leaves much to be desired.

Regardless of the closet size, if it is organized with proper organization, you will discover that you have much more space than you had thought. Many people attempt to create extra space by piling things to the side and often forget about miss out on the overhead space. Anothersolution is taking two small closets and combining them into one closet with a small dressing area. Bedrooms with high ceilings are classy but they have a lot of wasted space. By constructing a third-tier space, you can hang out-of-season clothing and install shelves that are perfect for storing shoes, purses, hats, and other items that are seldom used.

Another great option for for closets is building drawers inside your closets or if you have an old dresser that has been replaced for bedroom furniture, you can add a new coat of paint and place it inside the closet. These drawers put a closet's empty space into use and make an excellent storage option for ties, belts, undergarments, socks, and so on. If your closet has one horizontal clothes hanging bar, change the single bar to two bars and easily double your hanging space or a full bar and a half bar. By visiting your local hardware store, you can buy the end connectors for a few dollars and then from the hardware store, a home improvement store, or a lumber company, purchase a round piece of wood that measures the width of the closet for the bars. By moving the single bar higher, you can add a second bar below, quickly and cheaply giving yourself much more hanging space.

Installing hooks on the back or side wall of your closet creates the ideal option for hanging ties, belts, purses, or hats. Consider purchasing an under-the-bed shoe rack or one that hangs over the back of the door. This will free up space on the floor of your closet for other things. You can buy or build yourself a rectangular plastic box with lids for storing winter clothes, wrapping paper, pictures, or or whatever is getting in the way around the house, and then store it where your shoes used to sit. With a little innovation and a couple hours of work, you can turn your small closet into a space providing twice the original storage. Many businesses specialize in closet solutions that are easy to install and easy on your budget. Look around your home to see to check if you already have things that can be used to expand your closet or visit one of these stores to see what special solutions they offer.
