Here are some tips that were discussed during the TV segment:
-
Stretch a bookcase over a doorway - use every inch to maximize storage.
-
Banquette seating with under seat drawer storage is not only useful as a spot to take off your shoes in a mudroom but the storage underneath can be useful for recycling boxes, boot storage, or sports equipment.
-
Add shelves to create a bookcase to make a nook, too small to place furniture in, useful.
-
Large baskets are useful for seasonal storage such as mitts and scarves especially in the upper portion portion of tall cabinetry built to the ceiling.
-
Use left over retails boxes or card boxes to organize your desk drawer. Pens can easily be separated from fasteners and other odd and ends.
-
Coloured or patterned boxes add interest to built-ins that are otherwise neutral.
-
Use all the same storage containers like Mason jars, glass baby food jars or clear plastic containers with labels to order pantry or workshop items.
-
Recycle tissue boxes for plastic bags.
