Store That Discuss 4 Simple Storage Hacks To Use At Home

If you’ve found yourself here, it can only mean one thing: storage is on your mind! The possibilities are endless, you’ve just got to think a little outside the box. However big or small your home, you can find space to store possessions and items that you never thought you could! Here at Store That, we thought we’d share some simple, yet creative ideas to get you storage savvy.

Cereal Storage

This one is an introduction to upcycling. Now, you might be thinking how can I make suitable storage out of this? Well, a cereal box can make a fantastic magazine, paper and stationary holder, perfect for neatening up your desk or bookshelf. It If you use washi tape, it’ll take just a few minutes to decorate and reinforce your box! You’ll always know where to find a pen now!

Bathroom Pockets

The bathroom is an area that can get overloaded with products very quickly. The bottles seem to multiply on the bathroom shelf, side of the bath and in the cabinet. Sort through all of the products you do and don’t use. With the ones you use most frequently, store them in a shower pocket for easy accessibility and a clutter free bathroom. You can actually buy shower curtains with pockets for this exact purpose or hang a water-proof shoe organiser alongside the curtain for a simple DIY version. Top tip: mesh pockets are best, so that water can drain. 

All in One Bedding

This one is so easy, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it sooner! It’s frustrating when you go to change the sheets and suddenly realise you’re missing a pillowcase. You then rummage round the drawers or airing cupboard trying to find it, but it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack! When washed, fold your bedding neatly into a small rectangular shape, then store it all together inside one of the pillowcases – problem solved! Doing this also compacts your linens, creating more space to store other bits and bobs.

Space Saving Furniture

At Store That, we’d recommend investing in furniture that already comes with a form of storage. Something like an ottoman bed is extremely handy, the bed opens up from the top, to reveal an abundance of storage space, under the bed! A bed that comes with slide under drawers is also great to have.

If you’re looking for more space, simple accessories like shelves create more storage space to stop clutter from mounting on the floor. Additionally, fold down desks are becoming extremely popular at the moment and great for portable use.
