Bedroom Storage
When your bedroom closet starts to overflow it's time to start looking for new storage options. These two storage solutions are hiding in plain sight and can make it a lot easier to change linens or switch out last season's clothes.
Bedroom Bench Storage
A bedroom bench is often overlooked as a necessary piece of furniture, but they are extremely useful when you need to sit and put on shoes or just want a comfortable place to relax. Many bedroom benches also double as handy storage for oversize clothing, which make them very useful when your closet and chests start to overflow.
Under Bed Storage
The empty space beneath your bed is a great place for storing off-season clothes, linens and pillows. Use plastic storage bins or better yet, shop for a bed with integrated storage built-in.
Beds with pull-out drawers work great, but for the most storage space choose a bed with a mattress that lifts up to reveal storage underneath.
Living Room Storage
The living room in every home seems to serve as a catch-all for all types of blankets, pillows, toys and TV remotes. You can help declutter the main room in your home by introducing these furniture pieces that include handy storage that no one will know is there.
Ottoman Storage
The multifunctional ottoman can be used as a footrest, seat, or small table, but the most useful versions also include a storage space below the cushion. This is a convenient way to store pillows, blankets and TV remotes.
Families will find that ottoman storage works great for keeping toys tucked away but accessible.
Living Room Bench Storage
A living room bench adds comfortable seating to any room. But hidden beneath the seat you’ll often find a large storage space that can be used to hold umbrellas, dog leashes, coats and whatever else you might need as you run out the door.
Coffee Table Storage
Coffee tables can provide much-needed storage in the center of your living space. Open shelves beneath your table can be used to store and display books and candles, or storage can be hidden beneath the hinged tabletop which can be raised and lowered to reveal the space.
Laundry Room Storage
Laundry rooms are the ideal place to store cleaning supplies, stain removers and extra fabric softeners. But, depending on the size of your laundry room, space can be at a premium. Here's an underutilized storage solution that will leave you wondering why every laundry room doesn't use it.
Laundry Pedestal Storage Drawers
A laundry pedestal is designed to raise your washing machine and dryer a bit off the ground, which makes it easier to load and unload your clothes. You can buy one that turns the extra space below your washer or dryer into the perfect storage spot for laundry detergent, fabric softeners and stain sprays.
Laundry Room Shelves
Laundry room shelves are the easiest way to store everything you need for quick-access. Open shelving built above or near your washer and dryer can be used to hold cleaning products, laundry baskets and that orphan sock bin that is somehow always full.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage solutions consist of more than just sheds. There are plenty of other more elegant outdoor storage ideas that look great in your yard and make swapping out pillows or hiding gardening tools an easy task.
Deck Box Patio Storage
Deck boxes are popular outdoor storage solutions due to their great looks and large capacity. They are ideal for keeping fabrics out of the sun which can bleach or harm them. In addition to storing pillows, towels, and pool supplies, a deck box makes for a great outdoor bench.
Potting Bench Storage
Gardening is a fun and relaxing activity that requires a few simple hand tools and supplies. To protect your metal tools from the elements and keep them off the ground where someone could trip over them, it's best to store them in a potting bench.
A potting bench is an outdoor table that also has built-in shelving and drawers that are designed to keep garden trowels, hand rakes, seeds, and other materials organized and within easy reach.
