6 Innovative Storage Solutions Buyers Will Love
You know the key to maintaining a clean environment is a place for everything and everything in its place. But the more things we accumulate, the more difficult it is to find places to keep them.
We always advise sellers that the greatest enemy of comfort is clutter. Here are a few features they have found in some of the finest Alexandria homes for sale and White Bear Lake homes for sale that can help move your house to the front of the line. The best news is that they won't break the bank.
Experienced buyers will fall in love with the house where they can envision their own belongings. But why wait for time to sell? If you're just moving into your new place, these small details will help keep your home clean and functional. With careful planning, you can maximize the space and create a relaxing environment without sacrificing your belongings.
- Add outside storage
From lawnmowers and garden tools to bicycles and holiday displays, most homeowners have a host of items that would like to keep out of sight. Instead of paying a fortune to a self-storage facility, why not consider installing a shed in the back yard? It will quickly pay for itself, and you'll appreciate having a place to stash these clumsy items, keeping your garage free of boxes and tools. - Organize the laundry room
Did you know you can install laundry pedestals under the washer and dryer? These spacious drawers elevate the appliances, offering a generous storage option for laundry room supplies without taking up additional floor space. A side benefit is more comfortable loading and unloading the appliances. While you're at it, install some shelves above the appliances. Matching portable bins will store a wealth of items such as cleaning or sewing supplies. - Maximize closet space
A second bar in each of your clothes closets will dramatically increase the articles of clothing you can hang comfortably. Closet organizers make it easy to divide clothes by season or any other category you wish. Select wood rather than wire for a more elegant appearance. - Hang a ceiling rack for pots and pan
Experienced cooks love the convenience of reaching up to select the pan of their choice without digging them out of a stack in a cabinet. They come in a broad range of size and price options, with styles to match any decor. Suspended from hooks in the ceiling, they are as easy to remove as they are to install, so if a buyer does not care for them, they can be taken out in no time. - Add storage benches to any room
From an ottoman in the living room to a toy box in a child's room, these options offer double duty for storage and comfort. They are perfect in the bedroom to store extra sheets and blankets or even in a foyer to conceal dirty shoes. Storage benches offer comfortable window seats for reading nooks inside and garden seating outside. - Store vertically to maximize floor space
Cleverly designed towers of small shelves get those piles of shoes off the floor and display them neatly in corners, cleaning up mudrooms and helping keep bedrooms tidy. They can be painted to match the walls and create the illusion of built-in conveniences when they can actually be moved at will. These same towers are great for plants and knick-knacks to add visual interest to a space.
Now that you have your home organized the way you want it, you may not want to move! But whether you're buying or selling, call today for help.
