Multi-Purpose Design
You often see storage rooms where people just want to get the shelves up without really thinking about making the space multi-functional. But here’s the thing – optimal shelving or a multi-purpose design means you’re not just stacking things; you’re creating a space that’s versatile.
So, really, a storage room shouldn’t just mean a spot for things; it’s an opportunity and you want to bring in a multi-purpose vibe so that you’re getting the most out of a space that’s often overlooked.
And you have options here, from getting shelves designed to adjust to fit your stuff to utilizing your vertical space and taking those shelves all the way up to the ceiling.
For example, say you have a lot of tools. Properly storing tools is a big part of their maintenance, and adjustable shelves make it happen because you can keep your go-to tools within easy reach on the lower shelves, and stash the specialty gear up top. Now, throw in a fold-out workbench, and suddenly you’ve got a spot for DIY projects.
Temperature Control
When it comes to storage, people often assume things can handle any environment and you don’t want to be one of those people. Really, overlooking temperature control can mean trouble down the line.
Certain things, like important documents or tech gear, really need a specific environment so that setting up some climate control isn’t just a luxury, it’s how you’ll keep your things intact.
Generally, it’s a matter of opting for a thermostat-controlled system or just throwing in a dehumidifier or humidifier.
For example, say you’re storing important documents. A smart thermostat means a controlled setup so that your documents aren’t yellowing or brittle over time.
Security Measures
Even if only for their sentimental value, your things are valuable and there’s nothing wrong with spending on security. On the contrary.
Really, security measures aren’t just for big mansions. Whether it’s tools or collectibles, a bit of extra security is how you’ll protect your valuable items and have some peace of mind.
Plus, top-notch locks or surveillance cameras in strategic spots often get the job done.
Let’s say you’ve got some high-value golfing gear or collectibles stashed away. You want to tighten up security with keyless entry, motion cameras, maybe even an alarm system. The cameras are a really effective deterrent and with an alarm system? You’re now less likely to lose your special golf clubs or collectibles.
Yes, your storage space can become a source of design pride and security. So consider these tips for your reconstruction.
