Smaller condos and townhomes are becoming the norm for first time homebuyers. Even traditional single-family homes are getting smaller and more compact. So, what happens when you need more storage space? Storage space is one of the most in-demand commodities in real estate. Luckily, options are all around you. From hidden spaces to a self storage unit (Oh, hello! Happy you found us!), there’s always an obscure storage space waiting to be found. 


1. Under the stairs…
There’s usually a cupboard under the stairs that can double as storage space. Harry Potter, anyone? You can use this cupboard for anything from shoes to seasonal decor to sporting equipment. This storage space also allows for easy accessibility.


2. Under the kitchen cabinets…
Your kitchen cabinets are probably already full. However, that’s not the end-all be-all. Luckily, it’s not difficult to install drawers under existing cabinets, adding additional storage space for just about anything you might need to use in the kitchen. 


3. Under the couch…
Slim storage containers that can easily slide under your couch are perfect for storing toys, supplies, or other small items that need a space to live. If your couch is too close to the floor, consider using furniture risers to lift it up and create more room underneath.


4. Inside your headboard…
Headboards have the potential to hold a decent amount of storage space. Many modern designs have built-in storage space with shelves or hidden drawers. Just make sure the headboard is both durable and functional and will last you for years to come.


5. Behind picture frames…
Large hanging photos can provide the perfect space for storage opportunities. Nobody will know that a secret door lies behind it. Just make sure to consult a professional about installing a cabinet, as you don’t want to cause any structural or plumbing damage.
