With our houses becoming increasingly smaller due to factors such as higher land costs and reduced construction spaces, an efficient storage system has become one of the most critical aspects that need to be considered while renovating or designing a new house.
Although you can browse through a multitude of storage options that are available in the market, quite often than not, these solutions are generic and do not offer the much-needed creativity that actually can make a difference. Most of the times we come across oversized solutions such as wardrobes or shelves built with materials that are either very expensive or are not user-friendly. Hence, in our article today, we have chosen 10 storage ideas that are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also efficient in providing large storage volumes that are user-friendly and built in the in the smallest possible spaces.
Take to look to get inspired!
Wardrobes are the first things that come to our mind when we speak of storage spaces.Wardrobes can be completely covered or as seen in this case, partially covered and partially left open. This not only allows for higher flexibility but also makes the entire assembly look aesthetically pleasing as well as is easy to maintain.
The architects of this house have utilized an entire facade for storing books and other study materials. This layout looks far more aesthetically pleasing and functional than a typical cupboard which takes more installation space and provides lesser storage options in return. You can experiment with different sizes of storage volumes that will give you more flexibility as well as make the entire wall look more like a design composition than mere storage shelves!
Sometimes, the only places where we can install our storage units are the trickiest such as under the bed, in tiny basements or under the roof. As seen in the example here, the architects have created a wardrobe under the sloping roof, by this, they have not only made an effective utilization of an otherwise negative space but have also added a sleek design element that can double up as a partition wall for the bedroom on the other side.
Although the layout of these shelves is fairly basic, the actual difference is made by the rich mahogany wood that gives this entire space a very rich vintage look. The entire space is further accentuated by the sleek hanging light fixture as well as the spotlights that illuminate every cubicle in the shelf.
You can choose to keep all the shelves of the same size to achieve a nice symmetrical look or create shelves of varying sizes as seen in this example.
Kitchens are spaces that require the most well-designed shelves, this is owing to the fact that kitchens are typically smaller in size and have a large inventory of materials to be stored. By creating shelves and compartments by making the most of the available spaces, for example creating shelves on the door panels as seen here, you can certainly manage to store a large number of materials in the smallest of spaces.
Shoe racks are typically fabricated in wood or metal panels without a lot of design consideration. However, they do not have to be always boring. Built from a sturdy metal mesh, this shoe rack looks extremely pleasant and not only allows for space to keep the shoes but also other elements like the calendar or the potted plant, all at a very small cost!
In case you live in a house which has a higher floor height, you can opt for an out of the box solution that goes vertical instead of horizontal. On similar lines, the architects of this house have designed the storage spaces such that the bed can be positioned above the cabinets. You can access the bed by pulling out the smaller cabinets that can also double up as steps to climb up. This way you can not only achieve a cozy sleeping space, but also a clutter free bedroom devoid of unnecessary furniture.
Storage spaces under the staircase are one of the most effective and cost-saving solutions that you can come up with for your house. This way, not only do you make an efficient utilization of an otherwise vacant space, you also impart a distinct aesthetic appeal to your house, all by a simple arrangement of wooden members as seen in this example.
More and more users are opting for functional and aesthetically appealing storage solutions for their bathrooms. Rather than choosing the usual cabinets, you can experiment with simple wooden boxes that can be placed under the main basin counter. This way you can achieve an extremely cost-efficient and easily manageable storage solution that can be upgraded or modified as and when required by you.
This brings us to the end of our tour. Rather than opting for closed cabinets or shelves, you can opt for an artistic assembly of simple billiard queues to hang your clothes or place your shoes. The only care that you might have to take is to not place heavy materials on the assembly.
