Even if your home has limited space and a lot of stuff, you can still make it look roomy and fit all your things.  They key is to choose the right tools to prevent wasting any of the space you do have.  Maximize and optimize every square foot of your space for ease and accessibility.

Effectively Use Your Space

1.    Make Use of Vertical Space

Don’t just think about the floor and walls, look up for more organization opportunities.  With limited space, deep shelving may not be possible, but narrow shelving up the wall to the ceiling will work and not take up much space.  Overhead storage racks that hang from the ceiling are also a perfect opportunity to make use of the empty space overhead, without sacrificing floor space.

2.    Optimize the Storage

Using storage up the walls, shelving units on the floor and storage space up and overhead makes sense, now make sure you store your stuff properly.  Storing items you need often up on an overhead shelf makes no sense.  Organize and optimize your storage by placing items not needed every day or often up overhead and the items you do need often within easy reach.

3.    Use the Right Lighting

The right lighting makes a space look and feel bigger.  It goes beyond just basic lighting.  Use levels of lighting, multiple sources of bright lighting.  If multiple sources are not available for the space, use the right size light, with the proper wattage and perfect placement in the area.  Additionally, it is much easier to find things in bright light.

4.    Lighten Up

If making your space look large is also an important feature for you, select lighter colored storage options.  Whites or light gray or silver will make a space look larger.

5.    Make it Work for You

Don’t rely on the standard shelving or cabinets that perform a function, make your space look great and work for you.  Make your life easier by choosing storage pieces that can grow and adapt with your needs.
