5 Simple Storage Hacks For Your Home

Organizing your home in a manner that suits your lifestyle is one of the best ways to make day to day living easier. While all of us would love a home with just the right amount of closet and storage space, sometimes it’s not always possible to predict what you’ll need.

Certainly, new homes provide you with an opportunity to think ahead and plan for growth. A thoughtful builder will give you plenty of places to pack your gear and opportunities to create custom storage to suit you.

Since a new home with customization isn’t always an option, there are plenty of ways you can ‘hack’ new solutions using common household items:

  • Scarf Hanger: This one is perfect for the winter season. All you have to do is attach shower curtain rings to a basic hanger and loop your scarves through the rings. Voila! A perfect scarf storage solution.
  • Dressed-up Ladder: When they’re not in use, hang throw blankets or even high heels on the rungs of a wooden ladder. This storage solution will not only add function to your home, but it will also add to its design.
  • Accessory Hooks: You’ll love this one if you own a lot of jewelry. Hang necklaces, bracelets and maybe even earrings from decorative hooks. Another idea is to add small hooks to a picture frame and display your jewelry as artwork when you’re not wearing it.
  • Entryway Bench: An entryway bench with a hidden storage compartment can be used to store off-season shoes, mittens or umbrellas when they’re not in use. Plus, it gives you a nice place to sit while you’re lacing up your shoes.
  • Cord Organizers: With technology these days, everyone has a seemingly endless amount of cords! Organize your chargers and USB cords with a simple cord organizer—twist ties, clothes pins and bulldog clips all work too!
