Opportunities are always available when you keep an eye out for them. When it comes to your living space here are some ways to build in a little extra room where you may need it most.
- In the Kitchen, try expanding your counter space buy using an open drawer to rest a cutting board across the runners. You can also try placing a board across the sink. Use this extra space when cooking to hold prepared foods while you cook.
- Another idea to help find more space in your kitchen is to use cup hooks under the upper shelf of a kitchen cabinet. Great for small teacups, coffee mugs, small utensils and can even help out in a work room to hold small tools etc.
- In the Closet, try adding a closet organizer that will allow you to hang twice as many clothes. Shirts and tops only need half the height as long items so why try using the same space for both? Maximize!
- For those deep, oddly placed cabinets you just can't seem to reach the back of, try extending our reach by using a lazy Susan or a pullout shelf to access its full depth.
- Try to get more than one function out of your furniture. Consider furnishings that perform more than one function. For example; an entry bench that doubles as a storage container or has shelving underneath. You multitask, so why no your furniture?
- And keep in mind this last tip. In just about any room you can ad shelf space for keepsakes, books and more by positioning a shelf just a foot and a half below the ceiling.
