Finding ways to make your storage space look pleasant can be tricky. Space is a commodity that is extremely pricey. The sizes of homes are more compact these days as the value continuously grow steep. With this in mind, we've taken on the challenge in creating these tips on how you could maximise your space, as a means of organising and storing items in a more appealing and fashionable way.

Walk-in closet and vanity area

Having the closet and the make-up vanity area in one room is a great idea. Take a look at how the closet is arranged: the bottom shelf is meant to store footwear and luggages, above that there are drawers for under shirts and underwear along with a shelf space for folded up shirts and jeans. Then, in the middle portion is where bags could be laid out right above where the clothes are hanged. At the top portion are cabinets and pull-out wicker baskets for other items that are not as frequently used. 

Kitchen elegance

The kitchen can easily be the messiest part of the house. Keeping it spic and span is a must to ward off pests, bacteria and other elements that may be harmful when in contact with food. Check out this sleek kitchen design where everything is kept in properly stowed cabinets and drawers.

Clothes hangers

These mobile hangers allow you to have two layers of dressing space since the top layer can easily be accessed by a pull-down mechanism. This ingenious and practical solution is one of the most efficient ways for those who are lacking in closet space.

Garments room

Here's a stylish way to organise your garments. From towels, comforters/beddings, belts/accessories, this warm and cozy look is something that we highly recommend. There's plenty of drawers, artsy storage boxes on layers of shelving.

Living room aesthetics

In the living room, you can make a niche shelf area as shown in the picture, a stylish way to display those decorations without the shelves being an eye-sore. Also, it doesn't take up as much space as opposed to having it protrude out from the wall. This design makes the living room so much more elegant.

Bathroom fixtures

Instead of having a table along the sink, you can opt for glass shelving. See how the sink is also made of glass, with a steel layer that also serves as a towel rack. 

Secret cupboards

Stacked footwear can be quite an eyesore. If you have this dilemma, then here's an idea that you may want to adopt. Installing a sleek and stylish secret shoe closet behind a sliding mirror is a surefire solution that you'll love. Add to that, having a mirror this massive also makes small spaces appear larger. 

Foyer storage

Along the entrance/foyer of the house, you may opt to have a storage space to hang those jackets, hats, umbrellas, rain boots etc. It can be organised in such a way that you can have a sitting area for wearing your shoes before leaving the house.

Functional kitchens

Here's a wonderful way to store items in the kitchen. See how the shelves can be pulled out like a drawer, providing an easier access for deep-seated cabinets. This saves you more space for compact homes.

Stylish bathrooms

This his and hers sink  has a built-in storage shelves and drawers that is stylish, space-saving and efficient. It really is a sleek, modern and functional design.
