Innovative and Affordable Storage Options

Anne Simpson of Genuine Simplicity is the author of the following guest post: Ingenious (and Affordable) Storage Options. My husband and I moved into an apartment earlier this year that was nearly twice as big as our previous apartment. While we adored the large rooms in our new home, the lack of storage left us more than a bit perplexed.

The former apartment had everything: a laundry room, a linen closet, a pantry, loads of cabinets and a walk-in closet in the kitchen, medicine cabinets in each bathroom, and even a storage unit outside the door! Our new residence? Not really.

There was no laundry room or linen closet, only a small laundry closet for anything but the washer and dryer), no walk-in closets, poorly planned kitchen cupboards that defy organization, no pantry, no medicine cabinets, and definitely no storage units.

1. Shelving in Closets and Cupboards

You've probably seen those inexpensive white pressboard modular shelving units at Walmart, Target, and other big-box stores. I suppose they're kind of unattractive. Don't judge a book by its cover, as they say. I adore these cute tiny shelves because of three things. They are quite affordable, strong, and practical. They are also very versatile.

2. Tractor Trunks

While a new or antique trunk can cost hundreds of dollars, especially if it's constructed of real wood, there are less expensive options that are easily found at thrift shops, yard sales, and discount stores. With these trunks, you don't have to stow them away in the closet unless they're in extremely poor condition (or are just plain old ugly) you can cover them up with some fabric that matches your decor.

3. Canvas Bins

I’ve discovered that those cube-shaped canvas bins made for the modular storage shelves actually come in handy all over the house whether or not you have the cubicle shelves.

Plus, sometimes you can find them at the dollar store, which makes them a super cheap creative storage option. Clearly, they’re not the sturdiest storage container in the world, so I wouldn’t recommend using them for anything heavy or anything children access often (I learned that lesson the hard way!), but they’re still useful for holding all sorts of other items and can last a really long time if you’re careful with them.
