Moisture-Proof Storage Solutions
When storing items in your basement long-term, make sure they’re packaged in air-tight and moisture proof plastic containers. This will help prevent mold from infesting your items. Dehumidifiers can also help maintain conditions when storing long-term. Basements are commonly flooded. You’ll be glad you were proactive with dehumidifiers already cleansing your space should you encounter water damage in the future.
Maximizing Ceiling and Wall Space
Oftentimes basements double as a hangout and storage area, so you’ll want to make sure that it’s roomy enough for visitors. Using shelving units or hooks on the walls will keep walkways clear. You can find affordable shelving for a temporary solution or invest in permanent and durable built-in shelves. Organize your items such as toys, bikes, tools, and linens on the shelves to keep things tidy and out of the way. If your ceilings are high, you can even optimize your ceiling space for storage.
Install a Clothing Rack
As the seasons change, so does your wardrobe! Allow for space in your basement to keep those bulky winter coats, snow suits, and lesser-worn fancy attire. Consider purchasing clothing racks as an extension of your closet. Hanging your offseason clothing is easy on the eyes, allows for vertical space maximization, and keeps your items wrinkle-free and in good condition.
Sectioning Off Your Basement
Basements can be used for anything from storage to entertainment. Section off your basement space to allow it to serve multiple purposes without feeling cramped or cluttered. Closets are great to tuck away unsightly items behind closed doors, keeping a clean open space for entertaining guests or a play space for children. If you don’t have closet space available, you can creatively section off different areas for different purposes using things like:
- Room dividers
- Shelves
- Curtains
