His and Hers: Closet Organization for Couples

Posted on April 10, 2019June 8, 2020 by Total Design Source

Closet Jobs Closet organization can be a nightmare for couples. Men and women have very different wardrobes, and therefore they have very different needs. When it is not possible to have two separate closets, it becomes necessary to find an organization method that works for both of you. There are some very good options for remodeling your closet to make distinct spaces for you and your spouse.

Dividing the Closet

One of the problems with organizing closet space for couples is that you can rarely divide a closet into two equal parts. Often, one spouse will have a bigger half of the closet. Yet who needs the most room could fluctuate from season to season or year to year. It is important that the closet is organized in such a way that division of the closet can be adjusted easily as necessary over time.

Shoes and Accessories

Women tend to have a lot of shoes and accessories to go with their many outfits, and it is important that these can be organized effectively and kept in one part of the closet. Shoe and accessory shelves and hooks can easily be installed in one half of the closet and used as the need arises each season. In the winter when the spouse may have more accessories to store and use, the shelves can be repurposed as needed. Continue reading “His and Hers: Closet Organization for Couples” →

Maximizing Space with Accessible Kitchen Cabinets

Posted on February 15, 2019June 8, 2020 by Total Design Source

Cabinet Jobs Whether you have a large kitchen or a small one, you want to maximize your use of the space you have. Many homes come with cabinets that do not efficiently use space. Some cabinets may not be easily accessible. Upgrading your cabinets to make the most use of your space in an accessible way will make cooking and dining in your kitchen a pleasure instead of a chore.

Maximize Corner Spaces

Corner spaces are often the least efficient use of space. If you put cabinets in the corners of your kitchen, they are either leaving space unutilized or they are so deep on one side that they are not easily accessible. Instead of wasting corner space, consider a corner cabinet with a Lazy Susan instead of traditional shelves. This is often the most efficient use of corner space, and it makes accessibility a snap.

Make Lower Cabinets More Accessible

Many people have issues with their lower cabinets. Many of these cabinets are vast empty spaces with no shelves or one shelf that makes use very difficult. If you are unable to squat or bend easily, these lower cabinets can be more of a pain to use than storage space should be. You can make lower cabinets more accessible by installing cabinets that have slide-out shelving. Your pots and pans will never be lost in lower cabinets again.

Avoid High Cabinets

Some designers try to make use of every available inch of space all the way to the ceiling. This causes many cabinets to be outside of easy reach for someone of average height. Instead of keeping a step stool in your kitchen or neglecting the space entirely, consider upper cabinets that are shorter than the ceiling. You can incorporate an island into your kitchen for more open counter space so that your cabinets don’t have to be mounted as high as the ceiling.
