It never seems like there is enough space in your home for all of your things. Finding new ways to create space can not only keep you and your family organized, but it can also make your home feel and look much bigger! Here are just a few space saving ideas to keep your home and life clutter free.
Wall of Shelves
Custom-built egg-crate shelving covering an entire wall provides plenty of room to mix storage and display. A mix of magazine organizers, baskets, and boxes provides storage for stationery, and painting and office supplies and creates a pleasant, layered mix of objects.
Kitchen
Floor-to-ceiling slide-out pantries offer great stow-away potential. This custom pantry makes the most of a wall return alongside a new refrigerator. The lowest shelves are for kid-friendly foods. Consider hanging pot racks, a grid system to save more space in your cabinets. Place spices on inexpensive turntables so that you can reach them with the spin of your finger.

Buy Double-Duty Furniture
A bench can be a cool multifunctional storage/seat where you can put items like blankets or even your children’s toys. A sleeper sofa is a perfect idea for your bedroom or living areas of your home. Another good idea would be to look for coaches with built in drawers underneath the seat cushions.
Closet
To fit more into your closet you should make sure you plan storage that fits all the way to the ceiling. keep out of season clothing and suitcases high up and out of reach. Give cloths away to charity that you haven’t worn in over a year. Add hooks to closet doors to hang your belts, ties, or shoe organizers.
Bathroom
Look for a magazine toilet tank rack for your magazines and newspapers. This is a great way to have your favorite book or magazine handy but off the floor. Put hooks on your bathroom doors to hang towels, and robes. A interesting idea is to roll up your towels and put them in a inexpensive wine rack. Each towel should fit into one bottleholder.
Garage
Tack an old leather belt along the edge of a shelf to hold hand tools. Use empty glass bottles to hold your screws and bolts. Save room for parking by hanging your bikes on hooks either on the wall or ceiling for those winter months when your bike wont be used.
