Storage and organization are the main concerns when we speak about homes, and that’s for a reason as we buy more and more things and tend to find out that we need even more than that. Where to store them all? I have an idea: go for floor to ceiling storage! Why so high? Here are some advantages.
Floor To Ceiling Storage Advantages
First of all, you get a lot of storage space, and it’s all vertical, which means that you won’t have to waste your floor space at all. If these are built-ins, then it’s even better. Second, floor to ceiling cabinets make your space look taller, even if the ceiling is not that tall.
Floor To Ceiling Cabinets
Floor to ceiling cabinets are a must for every kitchen because they give your a lot of space for storage and they make your kitchen look taller. Don’t choose shorter cabinets that will be covered with dust on top, use every inch of space you have. You can go for built-ins to make them look lightweight, add glass doors for the same reason or make some open shelves and organize a coffee station, for example. On more way to make the cabinets look lightweight is to choose the color that matches the walls. Such cabinets are a must for closets, entryways, mudrooms and other functional spaces that really lack storage space, they will make less visual noise as the storage is closed.
