If you are thinking about buying a house, but need some home remodeling ideas due to limited space or the need for extra storage, sometimes you have to get a little creative. But you would truly be surprised at the number of unique home remodeling ideas that are out there once you start to look. However, since you are just getting started, we thought we would give you the top 12 most useful home remodeling ideas we could find to help get you started.
1. What Can I Do To Make My Pantry More Usable and Efficient?
One of the most unique new ideas we found was the Rev-A-Shelf Wood Swing-Out Pantry Organizer Kit. As far back as we can remember, pantries have remained pretty much the same. You open the doors and have to bend and twist just to get to what you need, which left much of the pantry space virtually unusable (unless you have a walk-in pantry). Now you can hide your pantry behind some beautiful wood cabinet doors and when you are ready to use it, just pull the swing out shelves and everything in your pantry is perfectly displayed and easy to reach and replace once you’re finished with it.
2. What Can I Do To Make My Kitchen Space More Usable?
A feature every kitchen should have is a Rev-A-Shelf Lazy Susan Cabinet. Most corner cabinets in a kitchen are wasted space because most of the area just can’t be reached. However, with a Lazy Susan that space is not only usable, it’s also extremely functional and provides easy access.
3. Where Should I Put My Bar Stools If I Have a Small Kitchen?
If you have limited kitchen space, you are going to love this idea. Having a small kitchen doesn’t mean you have to give up on seating space. You can install some swing-out bar stools on hinges, which will provide you with an eat-in kitchen without having to use a table or bar stools that take up too much space.
4. What Can I Do To Create More Space in My Bathroom?
The bathroom is the most underrated room in your home for getting creative with the space you have. Every wall has a wall void underneath all that sheetrock. All you have to do is cut a hole in the sheetrock whether that be a floor to ceiling cut-out or a few small cut-outs on both sides of your mirrors, then install some trim and add a few cabinet doors to cover the openings.
5. Can I Use My Wall Voids for Storage in Other Parts of My House?
Yes, you absolutely can. You can use the wall voids in any room of your home where you need a little extra storage. Using this unique storage method will provide you with almost unlimited storage space without having to completely remodel your home. Just use the steps mentioned above to create any look you’d like. However, you will have to remember that there are some wall voids that contain wires and things; therefore, those spaces should be avoided. Additionally, you will lose a small amount of insulation when adding a wall void storage space; therefore, you don’t want to add too many of them to any given room.
6. What Can I Do With All That Wasted Space Around the Tops of My Walls?
The most wasted space in just about any house is the space around the tops of every wall. You can easily add bookshelves or small cabinets around the tops of the walls in virtually any room of your house. This will give you added storage without the expense of a major remodel.
7. How Can I Save Space in My Bedroom
A Murphy bed might just be the solution you’ve been looking for. Murphy beds come in many varieties. Some Murphy beds can double as bookshelves or even a sofa on the flip side. That makes using a Murphy bed a great space saver and again, you won’t have to spend an astronomical amount of money remodeling.
8. What About the Wasted Space Between My Windows?
Any space between windows can be quickly and easily transformed into extra storage while adding a cozy look to any room by adding a window seat. And you can make a window seat out of just about anything or you could just convert some cabinets to use for the same purpose.
9. Can I Use a Blank Wall for Anything?
A Murphy desk is a great solution for small spaces and one that doesn’t require any remodeling. A Murphy desk can be easily installed with a few small tools. This type of desk can be used for homework, crafts, with your laptop or even in your garage for building or other projects.
10. What Can I Do With the Space Under My Stairs?
Using the space under your stairs is another great way to utilize wasted space. You can easily add bookshelves, a desk, an extra closet, a toy room or really just about anything else you can think of. There are plenty of under the stairs storage ideas and instructions that are plentiful on the internet.
11. Is There Any Other Hidden Storage Ideas You Can Give Me?
In most homes, the space underneath every cabinet is wasted space. But did you know that you can add toe kick drawers underneath any cabinet for extra storage? These can be used for pet bowls, hidden step stools, kids toys, books, baking pans, cookie sheets and more.
12. Can I Do Anything With the Wasted Space On My Stairs?
Yes. A bookshelf staircase might be just what you’ve been looking for. This is not installing bookshelves under your staircase, but adding them to the actual stairwell itself. You can build a bookshelf or cubicles along the side or sides of your staircase, which makes the perfect space for extra storage and provides you with easy access to all your things. Not to mention making your staircase look fabulous. This idea is probably one of the best home remodeling ideas ever conceived.
