If your home is feeling cramped and cluttered, it might be time to consider some DIY storage ideas. DIY solutions help you save space, stay organized and remain within your budget. Finding the right DIY project can help you shape up your storage space to operate at top efficiency.
A bar-height DIY storage table can provide a storage solution and other useful purposes in your kitchen or dining room. This project consists of combining a small bookcase with a tabletop to add a usable surface. Use whatever size or shape of tabletop to fit your personal style, and you'll have a unique, multi-functional piece of furniture.
Simple wooden containers make excellent bathroom storage. One storage idea is to stack crates or containers to make box-style shelves. You can make your container storage free-standing or attach each box to the wall. If you opt for a moveable storage shelf, make sure it has sufficient supports to prevent it from toppling over.
Another table idea involves using a tablecloth or curtain to hide the storage beneath your table's surface. Simply cut a piece of your chosen fabric to the right size, and attach to the sides using hooks or fabric tape. You can also use fabric tape to make a simple, no-sew hem for a more refined aesthetic.
While it often feels like we need more space at home - especially to store things like office supplies and craft supplies - there are plenty of ways to create storage solutions in the space you already have.
I have been a full time Realtor in Brunswick County since 1994, after moving here from the Charlotte area. Prior to that, I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill and worked as a press photographer in Fayetteville and Monroe, NC. It has been wonderful living and working in this community and raising my family here. I feel a little bit guilty for enjoying sunrises and sunsets over the ocean while friends inland can only see that while on vacation! I hope I can help you find your own bit of paradise here at the coast! I have always made every effort to treat clients as I would members of my own family... with honesty, integrity, and the benefit of my considerable experience! Let's see how I can help you!
