The Perfect Storage Solutions for Your Home

I’ve always lived by the motto ‘a tidy home makes a tidy mind’, with that said, nothing makes a bigger effect on the aesthetics of your home than a clean, tidy and neatly organised room.

Now, what’s the best way to clean your home making it neat and tidy? Easy, get rid of all the clutter and finding a home for everything. We certainly all have clutter, so keep reading below for the perfect storage solution ideas for your home today

Every Room is a Storage Room

That’s right! And by storage room, we don’t mean a dingy dark forgotten cupboard that we shove all our bits and bobs in like that unwanted lamp your mother in law has given you! We mean that every room in your home, from your bedroom, lounge, dining room and even garage can hold a practical storage solution.

The Bedroom as Storage

Kicking back, relaxing and hitting slumberland is what we all primarily use our bedroom for and like the most of us we need storage for a whole array of items. From clothing to night-time reading novels or even a spare set of AA batteries for your alarm clock, we all need bedroom storage.

Bedside

Keep the essential items close at hand when in bed whilst keeping them out of sight and preventing your bedroom becoming cluttered. Ideal for storing your bedtime novels, notepad, alarm clock, tv remote control etc. The bedside is a must have for all bedrooms.

If you need additional storage space you can always opt for a bigger 3 drawer bedside rather than the conventional single drawer.

Tallboy

Typically a chest of drawers, the tallboy is a practical take on a standard chest of drawers. Tallboys are generally much narrower yet taller than a chest of drawers and don’t take up nearly as much space. The storage is organized in a vertical manner and most tallboys offer ample space for your clothing or bits and bobs.

How About the Dining Room

Possibly the most multi-functional room in modern day living. Historically the dining room was purely for dining but many opt to use it as a ‘second lounge’ or ‘study’ as well as socialising and dining.

So what are some of the popular items used in the dining room for storage?

Bookshelf

The bookcase or bookshelf is the ultimate solution for storage and/or display. Offering a practical and beautiful way to display your novels or ornaments whilst also often having cupboards for keeping your dining room tidy, neat and organised providing a perfect store-away for virtually anything you don’t want on show. The grand and exquisite bookshelf below from www.homesdirect365.co.uk is the ultimate bookshelf.

Buffets

A buffet is a beautiful vintage take on the classic sideboard or cabinet. Not only does it often feature numerous spacious drawers but it usually embodies strong French style or shabby chic characteristics within the design, this doesn’t mean it can only be used in a vintage interior design décor scheme as modern designs have been made, ensuring a perfect storage option for any dining room décor.

Lets not Forget The Garage Storage

It would be impossible to not include garage storage solutions in a blog about storage as the garage is the most popular room to store away unneeded or rarely used items. Opt for sturdy and strong metal shelving and cabinets over the typical wooden storage pieces, for longevity and safety. Metal storage is a lot more resilient and is perfect for tools, car parts or even golf clubs. A perfect example of beautiful cabinets shown here by Garage Solutions
