Synopsis

Whether you want to build a shelf or revise the entire layout of a room, Making the Most of Storage provides practical and ingenious ideas to help solve the problem of managing clutter.
Storage needs vary widely from household to household. The first chapter helps each reader determine individual storage requirements, the space available in the home, and style preferences.
Chapter 2 presents three different systems - free-standing, built-in, and modular - including many variations, from modern built-in units to antique furniture. The chapter also explores the storage potential of things such as blanket boxes, cutlery trays, and baskets, and suggests exciting ideas for customizing shelves, drawers, and cupboards.
The book then examines ways to maximize storage space room-by-room, from kitchens and living rooms to bedrooms and bathrooms. It also offers interesting ideas for children's rooms, attics, cellars, and workspaces. Each chapter includes advice on transforming existing architectural features such as alcoves, and shows how walls, shelves, racks, and hooks can all be adapted into valuable display areas for treasured possessions.
With over 90 color illustrations, Making the Most of Storage is a source of inspiration for storage and display, and a sensible guide to organized living.
