Built-out window seats with cupboards below serve two purposes - they offer a comfortable place to muse or read, combined with easy-to-access, deep storage.Here're some more tips on maximizing your storage space: Mobile stacking storage towers will slide into narrow upright spaces Corner units make good use of what might otherwise be 'dead' space Mail-order catalogues are a surprisingly good source of unusual storage solutions.One of the most successful of this type of divider is a low-level unit, one face of which acts as a custom-made bedhead, complete with bedside shelving, built-in lighting and so on, while the other side functions either just as a plain wall or as an additional storage unit. You can readily find store-bought shelf units that are designed to fit around plumbing and pipes. Don't be fooled into thinking they have to be a mirror image of one another; Janus-like, each can present a different public face. In the bedroom, consider the possibilities of a deeper-than-usual built-in headboard that offers hidden storage space accessed from above.. I'd suggest getting room dividers that doubles as a wall of storage.Beneath sinks and basins are other obvious, but often ignored spots. First, try looking beyond the obvious to the slightly more unusual - the angled area beneath the stairs or the space beneath the eaves, for instance.Those looking for practical ideas to maximize storage space, here're some tips. The secret lies in making sure that the storage-divider is deep enough and each side is appropriate to its own space. Some mobile dress rails can be height-adjusted to fit an angled space.If you live in a large open-plan area such as a converted loft apartment, you may need to define the different functional areas. Look, too, at the often unnoticed alcoves.
