Storage and organisation may be overlooked by homeowners when planning a renovation. You want to consider how you live now and how you’d like to live ideally. Why not create a home that will make implementing your new, more organised habits easier?
Household routines
How do you currently use your spaces? What isn’t working? For example, if you are a no-shoes-indoors household and shoes tend to pile up near your home’s entrance, consider having an attractive built-in added to the front entry or the garage. Similarly, if you have children, plan for work surfaces with storage nearby for their supplies to prevent unnecessary clutter.
Working from home
Dedicating a space for important papers and basic office supplies will help keep you organised. If you often work from home, an ergonomically designed workspace could boost your productivity. Speak with your builder to help you think through your needs, recommend appropriate storage and come up with creative ideas to maximise your space.
Pantry
Before you commit to the size and layout for your pantry or other food storage area, consider your grocery shopping patterns. How large is your household and how often do you shop? Do you tend to purchase bulk items or smaller amounts? If you are an avid baker, will you have sufficient space for your ingredients and baking tools?
Mudroom
Speak to your builder about incorporating a mudroom, which can be the perfect place to stash jackets, keys, pet toys and other items you don’t want cluttering up the main living space.
