30+ Genius Home Improvements That Any Houseguest Would Be Jealous Of

Add Storage Space Under the Stairs

With its vast potential, we couldn’t help but share more than one idea for utilizing the space beneath the stairs. One of the biggest problems people find in their homes is that there isn’t enough storage for all of their family’s things. Furthermore, without designated spaces for items, a house can easily become cluttered.

Instead of throwing random things all over the place, drawers can be built under the staircase for an easy storage solution. Opt for pull-out shelves to store shoes instead of leaving them in a pile by the front door. This way, you can keep the walkway free of clutter.

Additional Space in The Kitchen Can Be Repurposed for Storing Cleaning Supplies

If you’re anything like us, cleaning can be a daunting task when your supplies are located on a different floor or out of reach. However, there is a simple way to maximize your kitchen space and create more storage for the things you need. To ensure that cleaning supplies are always within reach, consider using the extra area in your kitchen to create a small closet, like this one. It’s an easy and affordable solution, and it will encourage you to clean more often.

Install Outlets Underneath Cabinets to Avoid Ruining Your Backsplash

We love hidden outlets, and besides putting them in false drawers and inside drawers, there is another way to keep them out of sight. Installing outlets on a wall may damage the backsplash and compromise the sleek appearance you were hoping for. Instead of having them in plain sight, put plugs underneath cabinets.

While outlets are essential for a functional kitchen, this approach ensures they won’t be an eyesore. The only downside to this is that they require longer chords. If you use short chords, they might not reach the plug.

When Appliances Are Not in Use, Sliding Doors Can Help Keep Them Out of Sight

Creating a modern and tidy aesthetic in the kitchen is one of our foremost goals. To avoid clutter, we make a point to find a designated spot for everything. Even the coffee maker can have a place, so it is not taking up counter space. By installing sliding doors, you can hide appliances when they aren’t in use.

When preparing a large meal, it’s crucial to have ample counter space, and having a coffee maker in the way can be a hindrance. These cabinets can also organize all your coffee supplies like mugs, tumblers, and sugars. It will make your home feel like a hotel.

A Bookshelf Under the Stairs Saves Space and Adds Color

We love to read, but when we finish books, there is never a good place to put them because we don’t have a lot of shelf space. If you’re anything like us, you may have boxes of books crammed into closets due to the lack of proper storage area. Instead of taking up space in your closet, you could create a bookshelf under the staircase.

By doing so, you can conveniently browse through your collection and add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral space. It’s like having a mini library in the comfort of your home.

Make that Baseboard Space in Your Kitchen Work for You

When it comes to kitchens, everyone always needs more storage space. n a kitchen, every inch counts and should be utilized for practical purposes instead of mere decoration. For instance, if you have an abundance of baking pans, they can occupy much-needed space.

Instead of wasting valuable cabinet space, add drawers to the baseboards of your kitchen cabinets. This particular area is ideal for incorporating additional storage, and flat items like baking pans can fit seamlessly in these spaces.

This Laundry Room Addition Will Save You a Ton Of Time

One of the most valuable additions to a laundry room is a sink with built-in jets.

It can serve as a mini washing machine for those times when you only need to launder one or two items. It will also save you a lot of water instead of running the washing machine for a small load.

Chores Just Got Easier with This Hack

Of all household chores, taking out the trash is perhaps our least favorite. It often emits unpleasant odors, and we feel unclean after handling it. However, there is a solution to this chore that most people dislike, and it will help you get better at recycling too.
