Investing in a wall of storage

A wall of storage goes a long way towards helping keep your house organized and neat.   It is the theory of having "a place for everything."  When planning for a wall of storage, consider the furniture arrangement that gives you the best access to the storage.  Storage is used to it's maximum potential when it is easy to use.  This photo is showing open storage, but could easily have cabinet doors as well.
The storage wall could be custom built by Organized Spaces, it could be melamine to save on costs, or melamine with wood trim to give a more luxury look.  It could be specially designed to contain all of the types of things your particular needs require.
There are other ways to create a wall of storage.  I had a wall of storage in the garage of a house I owned a long time ago.  It was made from kitchen cabinets.  This wall was wonderful and beautiful, and the only thing missing was that it was in the garage instead of the family room.  Another wall of cabinets I saw was oak kitchen cabinets made into a wall of storage.  They were painted black, and it looked really nice. The black just took away the out dated oak look and gave a great use to cabinets that were still in nice condition.  My home office has a wall of bookcases.  There is a window in the wall, so the heights of the bookcases vary.  My shelves are filled with my design books, and baskets to hold my markers, colored pencils, drawing templates, and paint fan decks.  It has been a way to keep all these things at hand in a neat way.  http://www.organizedspaces.com/

The upside down advantage

When organizing or planning your closet, also consider how it feels.  This is especially important if you have a small walk in closet.  Sort first by color, then by type of item.  Use both rows of hanging so the first section is black clothing, for example.  Now, to make the closet feel more open, hang the slacks
(if you fold over the hanger, not by the cuff) on the top rod.  It seem odd to hang bottoms on the top rod, but if you try it, you will see that it makes the closet more open.  The slacks take up less visual space, and also don't shadow what is on the lower rod.  A closet arranged by color (visually uncluttered), and with the slacks on the top, will seem more open, and things will be easier to find.  http://www.organizedspaces.com/
