comes to space and storage solutions. And building a simple closest is easier (and less expensive) than you might think! If you are moderately handy (or know someone who is), and you have the room, then build a basic closet or two! The ROI on closet space is often significant. If you’re selling an older home, where closet space is typically minimal (often the case with homeowners who are downsizing), then this will help! If the rooms in your home are already small, you might not want to take any square footage away from them. But existing closets can be updated to maximize space. Consider investing in closet organizers to make the most of what you have. For instance, you can design your custom closet kit online with a storage solutions company like ClosetMaid. Your local hardware store or superstore will likely have what you need in an inexpensive, ready-to-go format. So, while storage organizers like these won’t physically enlarge your closets, they will maximize available vertical and horizontal space, creating the illusion of more space and helping to create an organized, clutter-free look.
THINK BEYOND THE CL ND THE CLOSET
Storage space isn’t restricted to bedroom and front entrance closets. Use storage improvement solutions for your cabinets, linen closets, laundry rooms, attic and basement spaces, and garages. In these areas, you can add closet and storage organizers, as well as extra shelving. Both are simple and inexpensive options. Make sure to keep everything simple, tasteful, organized, neat, and tidy. It’s important to remember what buyers are looking for. Take a look at this list from NAR® of what buyers want in a home. Compare it with what you have in yours, and upgrade accordingly (while keeping costs at bay where you can — remember, ROI is what’s important here!).
