4 Crazy Storage Solutions For More Space

There is no such thing as too much storage space; and this is especially true at these times of festivity and putting up decorations and until you can't find a place to store them come January.

Here are 4 crazy storage solutions for more space according to Trulia:

Divide room strategically

You are not really creating more space here, but specific shelves and cubbies to maintain an organized and clutter-free space which is as good as having extra space.

Boost your bed

With the amount of square footage that the bed eats up, it just makes sense to make the most of that used space. Hide those bulky beddings, pairs of shoes you have no plan of wearing, old clothes, comic collection, and all those things you can't seem to find a place for under the bed. With the help of risers (and if you play your cards right) you can create enough height to fit double stacks of boxes you can use to keep your room look more organized and clutter-free.

Stuff your stairs

You have probably seen this idea on Pinterest and loved it, but you will definitely appreciate this storage idea more when you do it in your home. Make handy pullout drawers out of the steps of the stairs and create accessible "secret" pockets that you can use to hide some of your priced possessions. Or you can play with it and use a theme for every step; from hardware tools, socks, books, and a go-to place for the knick knacks.

When in doubt, look up

There is the prime space for high-up storage. That vertical bare space is an ideal place for open shelving, cabinet, or metal rods to use for hanging your things. The bathroom, which usually has limited space, can especially make use of this storage solution. Have a spot to stack your towels and bathroom supplies so they don't get in the way and trip you over when you rush in and out of the bathroom every morning.
