4 Ways to Make Your Home More Functional
When it comes to your home, it's not enough to have a chic space that speaks to your personal style. You also need a space that works for your day-to-day life and keeps you on track toward your goals whether that's leaving the house on time or keeping the kitchen organized.
Here are four ways you can help keep the chaos at bay and make your home a little more functional for everyone.
Create an entryway. Some homes have an entryway when you walk in the front door where you can take off your coat, hang up your bag, and set down your keys. However, if your home doesn't have a designated entryway, it's all too easy for coats and bags to end up piled on top of each other or crowded in the nearest closet. Consider hiring a design-build remodeling service to give you the entryway your home needs. Not only will this home addition improve your organization, but it'll also boost your home's curb appeal.
Keep high-traffic areas clear. It may seem appealing to keep a luxurious bench or side table in your hallway, especially paired with wall art or other home decor accessories that can liven up an otherwise blank wall. However, it's important to keep high-traffic areas like hallways and other paths that lead to commonly used zones as clear as possible. This will help keep friends and family from bumping into furniture or each other, especially during get-togethers and parties.
Add storage areas. Sometimes the problem isn't that you have too much clutter but that you don't have enough space to keep items and supplies. Home additions that provide you with more storage space such as closets and mudrooms, or finishing your basement or attic, can be a great way to turn unkempt areas into organized rooms.
Optimize bathroom cabinet space. If you've been considering a bathroom renovation, consider optimizing the cabinet space you have by installing new vanities for additional storage and organization. According to Money magazine, it's recommended to spend a maximum of 10% of your home's value on a master bathroom suite remodel.
