Niklas Group: Getting the Most Out of Small Spaces

Dec. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Aside from the fact that condos have very minimal space for storage, minimalism has also made it a lot more difficult to add storage space. Newer condo units like those in Niklas Group have a very modern vibe to them and with this design aesthetic there should be a lot more space to move around restricting the space for storage. Innovation and creativity are the keys to come up with clever storage solutions.

The basic principle of coming up with enough storage space is organization. You should start your storage project by deciding what you really need in each room. Everything that you don't need should be moved out of the room. Either you throw it away, give it away, or move it into the garage or basement, out of sight. Once you've decided what you really want and need in each room, look around the room for areas of storage. Any open space can be a potential storage space for you. The existing features of your space can serve as clever storage ideas with the right tools or accessories. With a few simple additions to your closets or shelves, you can increase their storage capacity multi-fold. Shelving can be installed on bare walls, and you can even purchase pieces of furniture that double up as places to store your stuff. Furniture is some of the most visible, but 'hidden' storage spaces. For instance, a bed frame with a small shelf can be a nice storage option, which could store small pieces of clothing like undergarments, socks and toys of your kids. Multi-function furniture can be the best bet to store electronics, without creating a clutter. Make use of such a furniture to store your television, music system and DVD player.

It’s ideal not to have to look at the things you're storing, unless they're decorative. Increase available storage space by enclosing shelves and cupboards behind doors. Look at all the nooks and crannies of your space there are so many potential spaces for storage all you need to do is recognize them. Although modern styled units like those in Niklas Group are very trendy and sleek they can be storage nightmares. Because of the minimalist design aesthetic of these units as seen in Niklasgroup.com, it provides lesser space for storage but clever storage solutions you can maximize the value your modern space just like those in Niklas Group.

If your things have really no room in your space then it is best to consider renting storage space. From a small locker to a huge room that can accommodate a car, there are all types of storage options to choose from. And remember: it's always best to find somewhere near your condo or work so that getting to your stuff isn't such a big deal.
