Need Extra Closet Or Storage Area For Your Bedroom?

By: Robert Thomson

When people venture out to to search for homes to buy, there are two criteria that are the first considered. These same two features are what can make a potential sell to fall apart. The The first is the kitchen. If this room is not comfortable and well-equipped, the home fails to draw interest. The next critical feature is the number and size of the home's closets. Most people want and need storage and if a home does not offer satisfactory closet space, selling it becomes more difficult. Another issue occurs in regard to older homes that are notorious for having few closets and little space. In fact, a number of the homes built in the late 1800s have no closets at all. The same is true for loft apartments. While lofts are sophisticated and roomy, the absence of closets leaves much to be desired.

Regardless of the closet size, if it is organized in a certain way, you will discover that you have extra space not ever considered. Many people attempt to create extra space by piling things to the side and often forget about forget about the overhead space. Anotheralternative is taking two small closets and combining them into one closet with a small dressing area. Bedrooms with extended ceilings are attractive but their draw back is wasted space. By building a third-tier space, you can hang out-of-season clothing and use shelves that are perfect for storing shoes, purses, hats, and other things that are seldom used.

Another great option for for increasing your storage possibilities is installing drawers inside your closets or if you have an old dresser that is no longer good enough for bedroom furniture, you can add a revitalizing coat of paint and place it inside the closet. These drawers access unused space 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 for double the hanging room 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 to serve as the bars. By moving the single bar higher, you can add a second bar below, literally doubling your 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 or building an under-the-bed shoe rack or one that hangs over the back of the door. This will open up room 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 you need, and then store it where your shoes used to sit. With a little creativity, you can turn your small closet into a space providing twice the original storage. Many businesses specialize in closet solutions that are and cost-efficient. Look around your home to see to find out if you have things that can be used to to access more of your closet or visit one of these stores to see what special solutions they offer.
