As the
cliché says…’Spring has sprung’, and whilst the weather hasn’t yet warmed to
the arrival of a new season, it is time to plan to blow out the cobwebs, open
the doors and invite the fresh, warming air inside.
What do
you need to do around your home?
It is
around this time that we start talking about ‘Spring Cleaning’, however it can
also be a great time to investigate solutions for those irksome storage issues
– as you are preparing to pack up winter clothes, bedding, etc.
There
are oodles of interesting ways to get more and importantly, affordable storage
in your existing space.
Do you
have a staircase? We have found fantastic
storage designs utilising staircases on Pinterest (staircases)
and Houzz.com.au – one of our clients had a custom built storage and entertainment
unit incorporated into the design of her new staircase.
Modular
shelving option such as Ikea’s Billy range can organise the book collections we
hoard and offer display options for family photos and collections. These packs are DIY friendly and provide
‘custom-built’ look when installed.
Cleaning
out and rearranging existing spaces such as linen and laundry cupboards will create
much needed space and enables you to consider better use of these spaces. Really, how many extra pillows and doonas for
guests do we need? Of course if putting
away your winter weight doona, you can now store in a sealed vacuum bag in your
new attic space. Yay!
Pinterest,
again provides particularly clever ideas for sorting and organising these
cupboards – take a look today at our pin board on this very topic – ‘get organised’.
Seek out
those nooks to find ways to increase your storage capacity....and if all else
fails you know who to call to design that fabulous extension, which will
feature innovative solutions to meet your needs well into the future
Happy Spring!!
