Expert Décor Tips To Make Your Bedroom Appear Bigger And Better

No matter how many storage cabinets, wardrobes, or tables you have, you may still be at a loss for storage if you have more belongings and less space. But fret not, you can turn your walls into storage spaces and maximize the floor space to make your apartment look spacious and clean. This untapped vertical storage space can help you take care of your things while maintaining the style quotient of your house. So, read on to understand some of the creative wall storage ideas that you can try in your abode.

Niche

A wall niche is a space/box carved in the wall. This space can be customized according to your style and preference and also as per the things that you want to store. Ankit Ojha and Anand Jha, principal designers of Anand Atelier Associates, share, "Niches in walls are a very creative way to provide us with extra storage space and to have an interesting design pattern in our house. With niches, try to create an interesting pattern on the wall and also do not forget to add little details like cove lighting, frame detail, interesting color combination to it, which will make it look more appealing."

Floating Shelves

Floating shelves above your study table or all over the wall will not only help you in organizing your things but will also add to your productivity. Sleek wooden shelves or glass shelves combined with the right hardware choices and the material can create a noticeable difference in the space. Ankit and Anand add, "The floating shelves can be turned into your library as well." Sharing insights about the same, other interior designer, shares, "Take your library to the wall if you've run out of room. Build floating shelves to hold small sculptures, hardcover books, and other things."

Wall Mounted Console

You can eliminate an entire stand that eats up your space by opting for the wall-mounted console. For example, all your TV-related items like the remote, set-top box, and WiFi router can go inside this console. "Consoles are a game-changer; they add an aesthetic sense to the space, and they will easily align with your space and make it look complete," mention Ankit and Anand.

Hidden Storage in the Wall

Yes, hidden storage can be the ultimate solution if you want to store things and don't want them to be seen as well. Other interior designer, an interior designer based in Mumbai, shares, "You can add mirrors, wall paintings as well as cushioning on a wall and hide storage behind those. Space carved inside the wall can be covered with these as they give a good style aspect and also hide the storage well."

Hook up a Wall

If you have your work desk or study table at your place and all your belongings like stationery, documents, to-do notes, etc., are just lying all over the place on the table, you can use this easy hack. You just need to add hooks to your wall or you can have a pegboard where you can easily attach the hooks. Items like keys, towels, or decor can be added here.

Storage on Storage

All these wall storage options can be taken one level up by a simple yet effective solution - adding storage on storage. It may not be your conventional wall storage but it still makes the cut as it is easier to do. You just have to find flat surfaces that are already there on the wall storage options like floating shelves, wall mount consoles, or even the items that are already kept there. You can organize small items like your books and stationery or even place some decorative items on top of them if they are not in regular use. other interior designer adds, "Adding more capacity on top of existing storage is the most rewarding thing you can do. Add jars or tiny baskets to the top of your floating shelf unit or bookcase to improve organizing."
