How To Build Custom Storage Space Into Every Room

If you feel you've been outgrowing your current home, you're not alone. Studies show that 1 in 4 Americans outgrow their homes within two years of moving in. 2 in 4 believe they need more space in their current household after five years. That's more than 50% of all homeowners!


Although you can't beat square footage, there are some ways to simulate a space increase within every room in your home. One of the best ways to combat a cramped household is with custom storage solutions.


When we think about custom storage, the first things that come to mind are custom closets. However, it is essential to recognize that custom storage in your LA home doesn't have to be just a walk-in closet. It’s possible to start installing custom storage spaces all over the home!


Let's look at some practical ways to build custom storage solutions into every room of the house.

Custom Closets For Every Room Of Your Home

Whether you're managing a growing family, a new marriage, or a recently empty nest, it's essential to develop new storage areas in the home that match your current needs. Check out these seven major areas of the house that could use a custom closet makeover!


1. Bedrooms

What's a more iconic custom closet space than the master bedroom? Turning your reach-in to a walk-in closet is a great place to begin your custom storage journey. You may also want to install custom shelving within the bedroom itself, capitalizing on large, unused sections of the wall. The sky's the limit!


2. Garage

From a built-in two-car to a detached building, upgrading the storage space inside your garage will be incredibly useful. Store tools, appliances, and other knick-knacks in clearly defined sections. No more digging around for missing items!


3. Office

Whether your home came with a dedicated office space or you re-purposed one yourself, home offices are increasingly important areas within the modern home. Try expanding your storage capability with some built-in shelves, expanded cubbies, or unique office accessories.


4. Kitchen

Your pantry could use a little love this fall! Consider all the ways your pantry could be upgraded to include more storage, particularly with specialized accessories.


5. Laundry / Mudroom

Create additional space for laundry folding or coat hanging by installing custom storage in or around the mudroom.


6. Bathrooms

If you don't already have one, linen closets are an absolute must-have for LA homes. Implement one into your guest bathroom for more accessible hosting!


7. Living Rooms

Adding custom storage to the living room not only provides an excellent conversation piece but some extra space as well.
