Toronto Home Renovations

Many authors who offer secrets to enhance a living space and create additional storage areas always target multi-room homes. Are those tips the same as those that can help you enhance space for small storage areas and small living spaces such as kitchenettes, apartments, and tiny houses?
Here are the top four tips to help you enhance space to save your storage areas during your home renovations Toronto.

Invent an additional storage in your kitchen

Even a small kitchen space has an additional space that you could still discover. For example, a custom created insert that can fit into the top rim of your kitchen sink can easily create an additional 2 feet or more of space for preparing meals. This insert can be made of wood and then covered with Formica that complements or matches the kitchen counter.

In addition to getting a custom made insert, you have other options of creating more storage space in your kitchen. Measure your sink and get a wood-cutting board (the appropriate size). It should have a slot at one end to allow you to drain liquids.

You can also hang pans, pots, and larger utensils from racks behind the stove or along the wall to create more storage space in your cupboard. This space could be used to store small appliances especially ones that are not frequently used. Besides, consider installing wall shelves. They can be used to hold small appliances such as crock pots.

Utilize your personal storage in your bedroom

Older dresser drawers, custom made wood bins, or even plastic storage bins on wheels are good for keeping extra pillows, linens, out-of-season clothes, and more. This will create more space in your closet. A narrow bookcase at the middle of your bedroom closet or up against your bedroom wall allows you to utilize the closet space.

Set up cubbyholes somewhere in your home

Cubbyholes are some of the perfect small space ideas especially when created on the blank walls. You can consider cubbyhole off with wood board sanded, painted, and nailed. You can also consider using custom cut mirrors on sides and top. This will go a long way in brightening the room and creating a large space illusion.

Constructing a cubbyhole by your front door would be perfect for keeping your hats, keys, mails that are ready to be sent, and also a storage space for your work gloves. The cubbyhole found on the wall near your sofa would be good for stowing CD player remotes and other small items. If you have constructed a cubbyhole in your bathroom, you can use it to keep bath and hand towels as well as washcloths.

Lastly, incorporate space-saving features in your house renovation projects

Are you planning a home renovation? Why don’t you incorporate ideas and features that will help you save more space? Regardless of whether you’re planning a DIY home renovation or you intend to hire a professional to help with the renovation plan, additional cost and time requirements are likely to be minimal.
