Space seekers can find space by going up! In addition to bookshelves, stacks (and yes, those pesky piles) can utilize limited floor space to give maximum storage.
For example, a four drawer lateral file takes up the same amount of floor space as a two-drawer piece. You get twice the amount of storage with the same footprint.
The builder of my home deserves a big hug! When we moved into the house the master bedroom closet was outfitted with three layers of clothes hanging space. The top rod requires a pole with a hook to transfer clothing but it is wonderful for off season clothing storage. This is a great example of a creative way to use the vertical available space to create more storage.
When looking for more space, don't overlook that vertical space!
Do you have a special vertical storage area that works for you? We would like to hear from you.
