A unique way to store items that take up a lot of space is to hang them on the wall. You have probably seen bicycles and other sporting gear hung on the wall, and you have seen implements like pot racks that conveniently keep pots and pans within reach while freeing up cabinet and counter space.
Another option is to install pegboard against one wall in the kitchen. Small clasps are available that easily slip into the holes and can be used to hang everything from cooking utensils to kitchen towels. This method is often used in garages, workshops, and utility rooms for storing tools, but it makes a great organization solution in other areas as well.
Did you ever think of hanging pegboard in your child’s bedroom or playroom? The office? Nearly any space can benefit from added storage. Even if you don’t want to cover an entire wall, try covering part of the wall and getting some of that clutter up and out of the way.
Cork is another great option. Installing cork on a wall is the perfect way to store documents, maps, reminders, and other important papers in the office. It is also a terrific way to let your kids show off artwork in their own rooms or any room in the home. Try adding cork to your sewing room or craft room and tacking fabric cut outs, patterns, and lists right to the wall.
You can also find an assortment of wall hanging tools to hang everything from a guitar to a fishing rod. Some people even hang their items in a particular way so that they not only get handy storage but also develop an interesting look in the space at the same time.
Vertical storage is always a great solution, especially in small spaces. Use those walls for hanging more than pictures, and you will soon find your rooms a lot less cluttered.
