Having enough space to comfortably store one’s stuff is a priority for every homeowner.
The tricky part is figuring out where all that storage space can go.
Fortunately, if planned wisely, a custom-built home can contain a wealth of efficient storage options. And it can do it by making use of space that would otherwise go unused.
It’s not about how much space you have, but about how you use it.

Storage Suggestions
Stairs: The space under a set of stairs is often just wall space. A good alternative is to include built-in storage drawers under the stairs. Not only does it make use of space that might otherwise be wasted, a good-sized stairway can accommodate a substantial number of drawers.
Shoes: A functional shoe rack can make footwear storage decidedly more efficient. It can also make for an impressive display, should you have an impressive shoe collection and a desire to show off your Jimmy Choos.
Closets: Every house has closets, of course, but a well-designed house can allow for private closets for extra space where needed. Some can even be made accessible by secret doors.
Shelving: Even in large custom closets, considerations can be made for additional capacity. Think built-in shelving to maximize closet area and keep everything in order.
Trim: Where to fit the storage space is an important factor, but how it looks is not to be overlooked. Make sure your storage has the right kind of trim to keep items sorted and looking great.
Foodstuffs: A good-quality pantry can take some of the stress out of kitchen storage. Built-ins are big in the pantry world, and they need not be limited to drawers; space for extra appliances, gift-wrapping stations and even prep space are growing in popularity.
