Benefits of Custom Storage Units

With the new year right around the corner, it's time to get serious about decluttering. With all of the trendy new ideas for organizing your home, the benefits of custom storage units can not be overlooked. Here are a few reasons why custom storage units are must-have furniture items for your home to help you regain your sanity and control over your clutter!

Functional

Custom storage units are the perfect way to optimize your space. Instead of worrying about what to do with all of the clutter, a custom storage unit can provide the answer to your storage needs. Storage bins are unsightly and can take up a lot of space. In addition, the odd shapes make them difficult to simply hide away. Stacking storage bins usually leads to an avalanche at some point, as well! However, if you opt for a custom storage unit instead, you can select a style that will match with the other furniture in the space.

Decorative

Custom storage units aren't only great for organizing your things, they can also provide a way for you to put your most prized collections on display. If you don't have a collection of action figures to display, consider adding decorative style to your room with sculptures, decorative plates or other handmade items. These items will help to establish the storage unit as a unique focal point of the room rather than the secret place where you hide all of your junk!

Efficient

Custom storage units are specifically designed to make efficient use of your space. If there is wall space that is not being used, a custom storage unit can help you to get rid of the clutter without making it difficult to navigate the room. In addition, custom storage units may be designed with varying heights and widths. As a result, you can custom design your storage unit to the perfect height or width for your space so that you have a home for all of your belongings.

Closet Solutions

Unless you had the opportunity to custom build your home, your home probably does not provide the closet space that you need to efficiently store your entire wardrobe. Custom storage units can provide you with the personalization that you need to store all of your clothes and shoes. In addition, you may choose to store other home accessories, such as bed linens, curtains or other items. Using a custom storage unit can give you the larger closets that you've always wanted for your home.

Flexible

Although custom storage units are typically built-to-order, the best part is that they are flexible pieces of furniture that can be removed from your home whenever you see fit. Instead of spending big bucks to renovate your home, a custom storage unit can provide the storage space that you need for a fraction of the price. Destroying walls in your home just to make room for additional clothing really doesn’t make much sense, especially if you consider the fact that you might actually lower the value of your home in the process.

Declutter

Some areas of your home are simply prone to clutter. Whether it is the kids’ toys or your husband’s woodworking tools in the garage, a custom storage unit can stop messes from building up. With a custom storage unit, everything will actually have a home. However, making sure that things actually get put back where there are supposed to go may be a challenge of its own for you!

No More Half Solutions

If you’ve purchased every As Seen on TV product known to man in an effort to organize your home, a custom storage unit could be the final answer to all of those little gadgets that you’ve purchased over the years. With a custom storage unit, you can design it to ensure that it will accommodate all of your current and future storage needs. Now you can get back to purchasing more items for your home now that you have a place to store it all!

Tips for Selecting the Right Custom Storage Unit

Custom storage units are available in many different sizes. Therefore, you should make sure to measure the dimensions of your space before you decide on a unit to purchase. If your space features windows, don't forget to measure the distance between the window and the wall so that the storage unit does not block any windows. The storage unit should also be adequately positioned so that it does not block the doors or stick out too far from the wall, which can make it difficult to navigate the room.

Although many people think that closets are the only solutions for organizing a home, custom storage units demonstrate that organization can be both functional and stylish. With so many options to choose from, it is easy to find the right custom storage unit to organize and enhance your space.
