My good friend at Stagetecture shared this with me and I absolutely had to share it with you, my wonderful readers. Enjoy!
In celebration of Stagetecture’s 25th blog entry, I decided to explore the world of hidden storage. Storage
Hidden storage is everywhere areas and closets are the number one space we ’secretly’ look for when we buy a new home, but the last thing on our mind when it’s time to buy furniture, books, toys, and all of the other items that clutter our rooms. Let’s help you find 3 hidden storage areas that you always forget.
Canadian House & Home shows us how to maximize height 1.) Go vertical: Believe it or not, 50% of all storage in rooms is wasted because only the floor up to 6′-0″ is used in most rooms. For the average room that has 8′ – 10′ ceilings – this is a lot of wasted space! If you don’t have obstructions (windows, doorways, etc…) blocking your way, use this space for shelving, hooks, drawers, you name it! In Canadian House & Home, shelving is used to above door height to maximize a corner of a wall.
Decorate a wall with your storage! 2.) Use storage as decor: Storage doesn’t have to mean 30 clear Tupperware bins all lined in a row. Storage can be functional and look great!Freshome shows how book storage can act as decor, and a utilitarian bookshelf is now made into unique wall focal point. How about using the tops of your kitchen cabinetry for storing unique cookbooks, kitchen ware in decorative ceramic vases, or unique baskets to hold seasonal table linen.
Don’t forget under the bed!3.)Under the bed: Go look under your bed, what’s under there? Shoes, lost socks, eeewww, what is that?!! For real, this is a storage gold mine! Look at great under bed storage at The Container Store. Storage can be strictly functional for seasonal clothing, blankets, and toys. Have a higher bed, and want to show off the storage? Try using decorative baskets and a shorter dust ruffle under your box spring mattress.Remember, your home is full of hidden spaces for storage. Closets too small? This just means you have to be more creative in hiding your stuff… accept the challenge!!

Oh my gosh the hidden draw in the stair is marvellous. I have saved this picture and will try to get this in my new house, that I hope to be able to buy in the next few months.
The under the bed storage is great. I have lots of those baskets on my shelves, because this way I get to maximise the space, but haven’t thought about using them under the bed. My husband just throws things and boxes under the bed and I hate it!!! It is disgusting, when you skip a week of cleaning there is ball of dust around the boxes!!
thank you
