Create More Space in Your Bahamas Home

There are several ways to improve the look and feel of your Bahamas home.

Look for areas where it's possible to reduce wasted space.

1. Turn remote areas into storage - underneath enclosed stairs, adding attractive storage cupboards to wide hallways.

2. Increase the space in the attic - add plywood to uncovered rafters to produce more space for storage.

3. Organize what you've already got - by hanging tools and surf boards about the garage wall and putting swim gear, bats and balls inside a bucket, you are able to free up valuable space.

4. Substitute Compact disc jewel cases and DVD boxes for multimedia binders.

5. If you want to purchase a new computer make it a laptop

Bathroom

Small changes can make big differences to your valuable space

1. Hang a storage unit on the wall for storing extra towels as well as other toiletries, and displaying pretty jars filled with shells.

2. Create space by hanging tasteful shelves which could give a decorative touch and be used as storage.

3. Use your shower rod as a storage device, by affixing extra hooks so you can use it to hold products that occupy space elsewhere.

Bed room:

Anytime you may create more space inside a bed room you need to.

1. Use flat bins for under the bed storage.

2. Make good use of a headboard storage unit or place a chest at the foot of the bed to store items which are rarely used.

Kitchen

Room to prep can help greatly when planning to cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

1. Release counter space by putting small home appliances, like a microwave or coffee machine, on shelves over the counter

2. When storing glassware, alternate from right side up to upside down as they will slot in together, creating more space.

3. Arrange wooden spoons along with other awkward sized items inside a pretty container.

4. Get rid of old containers and pans, or other kitchenware that might be past their use.

5. Store rarely used home appliances in cupboards to release counter space.

Laundry Room

Cleanse the clutter while you clean your clothes.

1. Keep a bag or basket handy for towels that require additional care, or are designated for donation.

2. Add shelves to accommodate detergent, bleach, fabric sheets, etc.

Family Room:

Create more living area by:

1. Put low bookcases behind sofas.

2. Get a chest or coffee table with storage built-in.

3. Build shallow display cupboards between studs within the wall.

4. Minimize the items of furniture that clutter your floor.

5. Use corner book shelves to maximize use of available space.
