How to Create Easy Access Storage Under Your Home
Do you have enough storage space in your house? Honestly, I think everyone could use more space, but sometimes we just don't have the room to add that space, if that makes sense.
Have you thought about utilizing those dead spaces in your home to add more storage? I have, and along the way, I picked up some great ideas – I hope you love these 35 space saving DIY hidden storage ideas. These are great for any room in the house!
What Is Hidden Storage?
Hidden storage doesn't necessarily mean a secret compartment in the wall. Hidden storage could simply be storage under the seat of a chair or inside a table.
These DIY storage ideas give you all of the space that you need to get your home organized without having tons of boxes piled up in the closet.
What You Need To Make Disguised Storage?
Whether you are making DIY hidden bedroom storage furniture or something for the living room or kitchen, you will find that the list of materials you need is relatively small.
Many of these designs can be done with things that you may already have on hand at home. You can use reclaimed or repurposed wood for some of them, and even if you do have to purchase the materials, they're all pretty cheap.
What Kind of DIY Storage Do You Need?
So, to get started, you just have to decide where you need additional storage. Would an ottoman in the living room suffice? Or, perhaps you need storage for all of those bathroom necessities.
Once you know which of these DIY hidden storage projects is right for you, you can get started. Or, maybe you just want to make them all!
