Closets and Storages

Proper and optimized storage facilities are a necessity in every household. Below is a list of ideas to consider for your home:

• Bi-fold, pocket, or sliding doors take up less room and are less in the way than hinged doors. If doors are not a necessity, you might want to use lightweight draw draperies on a ceiling track instead.
• If space is available, consider the walk-in closet. With multi-level storage, several people can share the space comfortably with space divided according to individual needs.
• Overly deep closets mean wasted space.  Most modern closets can be built to single-hanger depth or 24 in. Deeper closets can be made more useful by installing a centered clothes rod 12 in. from the back wall and 48 in. from the floor, with a shelf 3 in. above the rod. In a child's room, hang the rod 30 to 36 in. above the floor.
• Don't overlook lights for dark closets. When updating your wiring, have the electrician install closet lights where there are none, or install switches to replace pull-chain fixtures. Also available are battery-powered lights for use where re-wiring would be difficult. For the utmost closet lighting convenience, install motion sensors that turn lights on and off when the door is opened and shut.
• The closet doorway should not have a sill or threshold and be sure to run the carpet into the closet as well.
• Adjustable shelf brackets, steel or wire shelving, and coated wire baskets make storage in the home office easy and convenient.
• You can find under-bed storage modules that are fitted with casters and can be rolled under the bed when needed.
