7 Storage Solutions You Didn't Know You Had

Every square foot of your home is valuable. These storage solutions take advantage of underused nooks and crannies. And just for fun, we did some back-of-the-napkin calculations based on the median price per square foot of a U.S. home ($110) to attach a theoretical value to the bonus space.

_______________________________________________


Stairway to Storage Heaven

Tuck pull-out drawers under sturdy stairs. They're ideal for stashing extra linens and seasonal items. Each drawer provides about two square feet of storage. If you really could calculate this on a value per square foot realized, that's roughly $220 worth of extra space per drawer!


_______________________________________________


It Came from Below!

Basement crawl spaces or open areas under apartment floors can be lined with shelves and outfitted with folding stairs to hoard anything. A finished 10-foot-by-10-foot crawl space uncovers about $11,000 of space value and can even lower your energy bills.


_______________________________________________


Overhead Room

Give your storage space a lift. Overhead areas, such as narrow hallways, make an ideal place for floating shelves and cabinets. You could gain up to 2.5 square feet, valued at $275 worth of space, in no time.
