Making the Most of Your Space

Making the Most of Your Space

Most homeowners want more storage space in their homes. Take a look at the size of the room you are remodeling, your budget, and then have a professional create an appropriate design to meet your needs.

Multifunctional Spaces are Key
When visualizing your “dream room,” keep in mind all your storage needs. One option when completing a kitchen remodel is to create an office/homework center off the kitchen. If you are working with a small kitchen, consider stalling cabinetry that has a multi-pantry closet or a lazy susan for the corner cabinet.

Remove a Wall and Adjoin Rooms
Many master suites today have an oversized bedroom and walk-in closet with an adjoining bathroom. Install a more efficient closet space. Another option, is to open that space up to the adjoining bath or bedroom to create an alcove. You can utilize this extra space for a small gym or reading area.

Additional Space Tips
• Reorganize your closets using the full height of the walls for cabinets and specialty built-ins

• Organize your spices, utensils, pots and pans, medications, toiletries, linens and even trash. In order to do this, use specialty accessories, additional shelving in cabinets, pull-down overhead cabinets, built-in hampers, pull-out trash containers and multiple storage drawers.

• Before you remodel, look at the different styles of cabinets available. Install a cabinet that complements the design and layout of the room and that will effectively manage your space.
