5 Storage Solutions to Make You Extra Room
I often think it doesn’t matter where you live or work, you never seem to have enough space, there always seems to be those little bits that creep in, to take up any empty spaces.
So here are some of the ideas I’ve come up with to give you a bit more space, right when you need it.
Invest in Shelving.
If you have some spare wall space or even a shed which could do with some extra storage solutions, then adding in some shelving options might work.
There are a whole host of shelving solutions out there on the market. However, they don’t have to cost a fortune and they can be simple to set up.
Some can even hold up heavy loads if needed.
Wicker Storage Crates
One thing I’ve learnt is wicker storage crates can really help offer extra storage space.
They fit in the small spaces that normally end up being where you pile things.
However, they look so much nicer and can add to a feeling of more neatness and organisation within the room.
Have a Clear Out
This one can take time, so set yourself a time limit and do it little by little.
Go through things and decide what you want to keep, what you could donate to charity and what you could sell.
You might just be surprised by how much room you make.
Rent a Storage unit
This one probably isn’t practical for everyone but if you find yourself overflowing and you have things you won’t need any time soon but really can’t face getting rid of them forever.
Then renting a storage unit might help you in the short term gain some extra room there are many different storage rental facilities on the market uich as storage options from Safestore, while you could also look into locations such as “Warehousing Preston“. However, if you think a self-storage unit is too costly, you may also choose to rent a garage to store your stuff.
Under Bed Storage
If you have room under your bed then using under bed storage could help you neatly store away things.
Take for instance your seasonal clothing, if you use some vacuum storage bags to take down the size a little, then pack them into the storage you will have a whole lot more room in your wardrobe.

Great solutions! We really need to work out the storage in our cluttered 1028 sq ft condo!
Some great storage solutions on this blog, I like the vacuum under bed storage idea 🙂
Definitely gonna utilise the under bed storage plan, being at uni I don’t have much space to work with
i really like under the bed storage idea, great tips
It can be such a great storage idea!
I never have enough space/storage, I always end up putting things away and can’t find them when I want or need them
It is so annoying isn’t it? I’m sure I grow into all the room.
This is giving me good ideas. I’ve been decluttering, but I’m now down to needing to do more, but don’t want to get rid of most of what I still need to do something with. Glad I found this before letting go of what I have left that I didn’t want to let go of!
Good luck with your decluttering it can be so hard at times getting things down can’t it?
Decluttering is so theraputic aswel! I love wicker baskets, the natural material goes with all decor
It really can be I often feel great after I’ve got rid of the clutter!
I am always in need of extra storage room. We recently bought a new bed with drawers underneath which has definitely made a difference.
That is so useful to have, we could do with something like that.
I love storage and I am ocd diagnosed for organisation. I am not extreme like you see on the TV but yes I love order and I am always looking for new ways to store and order. Great tips
I am glad you find the tips useful! I hope they help around the home.
great solution i love to make space
There’s something about the feeling of calm.
Really great ideas, will probably do some soon.
I hope they help you out a bit.
I agree with this – the bungalow has nothing but a larder and what would have once been the hot water tank cupboard, but with an upgraded boiler has some space in it and that’s it.
I think my solution is to have a good clear out and a trip to the charity shop x
I definitely need to do that – it really makes a difference.
Great ideas. I’m always looking for tips to declutter, especially at Christmas time x
I definitely need to get decluttering for sure!
This is definitely something that I needed to read about. Quite helpful since I’m planning on making extra room since it’s getting full of other items.
It is so hard when you start filling up with bits isn’t it?
