Make Life Easier: 3 Storage Solutions Every Home Needs

By

A few small tweaks around the house can make a big difference. Hanging an eye-catching key holder near your front door might be the solution to your chronic lateness, and reorganizing your fridge to keep your fresh produce front and center might help you cut back on food waste.

Whether you’ve bid goodbye to spending precious minutes searching for your car keys or finally found a way to remember to use your spinach before it wilts, one thing is certain: The right practical home renovations can go a long way. Here are a few storage solutions that every home needs and how they can help make life a little easier.

Durable Safes

There are a few defining moments in everyone’s life when they finally start to feel like an “adult.” Maybe you think of the day you graduated college or the day you bought your first car as the moment you started to truly feel like a grown-up. While it’s not the most glamorous moment, buying a durable, fireproof safe is part of becoming a responsible adult.

There are plenty of reasons that every homeowner should own a safe, from keeping important personal documents organized and secure to making sure firearms are locked away. While a reliable, fireproof safe can be an investment, it’s easy to find a gun safe on sale from reliable home improvement stores that fit your budget. Not only will you enjoy peace of mind knowing your important items are secure, but a safe will make it easier to locate your important items in a pinch.

Wall Racks

The best storage solutions serve multiple purposes. Wall racks, whether used in the kitchen, garage, or living area, can be a great way to store anything from cooking utensils to sports equipment and can also serve as wall décor.

This ergonomic, space-saving storage solution helps keep closets and cabinets decluttered and offers a unique aesthetic. Hanging your necessary pots and pans from stainless steel wall mounts in the kitchen can save you from digging through crowded cupboards every time you make a meal. Similarly, using wall racks for tool storage in the garage can keep rakes, shovels, and other large tools from forming an unsightly pile in the corner. From kitchens to garages, wall storage is a great and space saving storage solution.

Overhead Bin Storage

It's not just for airplanes—overhead storage is a great way to keep seasonal items and sentimental items organized and out of the way. This type of storage is ideal for infrequently used items, as they won’t be readily accessible. Lightweight, plastic storage totes are easy to store on ceiling storage racks or freestanding shelves.

Whether you install overhead shelving in a walk-in closet or overhead bin racks in the garage, this type of storage can help keep items that you don’t want to part with—but only need on occasion—out from underfoot.

Your storage solutions should help make life easier and keep your home organized. With these three handy storage tips, your household can run a little smoother.
