20 Jul 7 Ways to Maximize Space in Your New Custom Home

As soon as you move into your new custom home, you’ll want to start organizing as you unpack. It might be helpful to make a list, by room, of items you need for your new home. Organizing takes time and it helps to live in your new home for a little while so you can decide where you want things to be stored. We’ve complied a helpful list with 7 Ways to Maximize Space in Your New Custom Home:

(1) Add Mirrors: Mirrors make rooms look larger and brighter. Add mirrors to rooms to create space in rooms. Mirrors provide function and form in your home. Wall mirrors and floor mirrors come in a variety of options for you to choose from.

(2) Keep Windows Uncovered: Uncovered or lightly covered windows allow natural light, sunshine, and happiness to shine into your home. Uncovered windows make rooms feel larger than they really are, and they provide natural light during the daytime. Let the light shine in and your home will feel open and airy.

(3) Create an Outdoor Living Space: Why limit your home to just having indoor living spaces? Design an outdoor living area on your patio, porch, or outdoor area for entertaining or relaxing in the fresh air. Arrange your outdoor furniture in a way that allows you and your guests to comfortably socialize while spending time outside. Covered outdoor living spaces are ideal year-round in Florida.

(4) Keep Items off the Floor: Floor space is meant to be seen. Store items in your home in cabinets, closets and in the garage on shelves…not on the floor. Keeping your floors free from clutter also makes them easier to access when you need to vacuum and clean them.

(5) Organize Your Kitchen: A lot of time is spent in the kitchen. Organize your kitchen so that it is easy to find things for cooking. Utilize cabinets, drawers and pantry space. Remember to keep up with purging old food and spices, half-eaten foods and dry goods and items in your refrigerator and freezer.

(6) Beds with Storage: Space-saving beds are practical for adults and children. Many beds with storage come equipped with pull-out drawers, cabinets and/or cubbies for your additional storage needs. These are ideal for any bed in your home.

(7) Choose the Right Products for Your Storage Needs: Make sure to measure your spaces before buying storage racks, bins or trays. Plan ahead before you buy… this way your storage containers actually hold your things. Consider purchasing storage products that nest together as they stack easily on top of each other on shelves.
