Does your house seem to be rather small? Let’s rent storage to turn your messy area into a tidy haven.

Think first vertically. Many times, high shelves are hidden jewels. Sort boxes upward toward the ceiling! Unless you enjoy live room acrobatics, be sure you have a steady ladder.

The whole lifesaver is under-bed storage. Slides bins under and see how your seasonal clothing disappears. Like drawing a rabbit out of a hat!

Had stairs? Create hidden storage jewels from them. Under each stage, arrange drawers. Suddenly, books and shoes have a secret residence, hence your stairway is a smart place for storage.

Kitchens can take the stage as clutter center. Could you not arrange pots and pans on wall racks? Clearly define counter space and start your inner chef.

Consider Lisa, a friend of ours. Old bikes and tools abound in her garage. For her stuff, ceiling shelves created a new paradise. She said, no longer dodging bicycles like a ninja, “I finally have room for my car!”

Repurposing has a certain kind of enchantment. Old suitcases? Excellent for picture storage. Those wandering cords can be neatened using wooden containers. Get creative!

If you enjoy tech solutions, digitize your paper mess. Either scan or snap pictures of papers. Release your physical space and yet save memories.

Remember, a neat house is not only a fantasy. These little storage ideas combined with little imagination will help you to experience a more free, open environment. Knowing everything is in its place, you can now kick back. Who would have imagined that your secret road to peace would be storage?
