Key Storage Provisions to Plan when Building a House

The secret to an organized and neat home is having a room for everything. All the rooms in the house need its own storage. You can be tempted to just put in as much room as possible. However, space can be a limitation and too much room means an extra cost in Brisbane home building and maintenance. How do you come up with just the right space for your needs?

Kitchen Pantry and Cabinets

Every house should have ample kitchen storage. What is enough room depends on the number of family members, how often they shop for food stuff, where they usually eat and how they prepare meals. Larger families need bigger pantry and cabinet space. Families who usually eat out or order delivery need less kitchen space those who cook and eat meals at home. People who loves cooking would need room for the utensils, small appliances, ingredients, spices, and other cooking implements.

The number of grocery trips you usually will also determine your need for pantry space. People who shop fortnightly will need more room than those who stops by a nearby produce market every day.

Bedroom Closets

Some people need bigger closet space than their bedrooms, while others are comfortable with just few bins and shelves. Women usually need more room than men. Fashion sense and attitude to clothes will have an influence on your closet size. A person who loves variety or a collector of clothes will need more space than one who is a stickler to basics. One’s profession and lifestyle are also big consideration when planning his or her closets.

Office and Library Shelves

For people who works from home, an office room or dedicated space is required. Readers might not need a room for a desk, but will definitely need a lot of book shelves. Some technologically advanced homes in Brisbane have complete and fully functional home offices without the need for much space. Streamlined and paperless home offices just need a work station with enough space for a computer.

Bathroom Storage

Bathroom storage provisions should also be patterned to the needs of the person using the room. Many would assume that bathroom storage needs are limited to the small medicine cabinet, shelves for toiletries, and couple of cabinets for towels. They often forget those who likes to be keep a stock of toilet paper, their favourite shampoos, nail polish, or have medical issues and needs to have a dedicated space for medicines and other healthcare paraphernalia.

Hobby Room Storage

Do you have a hobby that needs a lot of storage space? Collectors would need storage and display room or shelves. Artists would need a work room or space and a room for all their work and paraphernalia, musicians a safe place for their instruments, and builders for their tools.

Outside the House Storage

Gardeners might need a separate shed for their gardening implements. While some homes with smaller lots keep tools in the mud room cabinets, many Brisbane homes integrate gardening and outside tools storage with the garage.
