What to Do if You Need More Space

However large your home is, it can be easy to fill it within a couple of months or years, and then not know what to do with the rest of your possessions. You may also need more space to enjoy hobbies, have a guest room, or simply to grow your family. If your home is starting to feel crowded and claustrophobic, here are some of the top tips that you should follow this year.

1. Declutter Your Home

Do you truly need every single item in your home, or have you simply accumulated them over time? Are you sick of tripping over old toys or shoving cupboard drawers just to get them closed? If this is the case, your first port of call should be to attempt to declutter your house. Everyone can declutter, even if this means just throwing away a few bits and pieces. From broken furniture to rusted cutlery, cardboard boxes and stained clothing, there are always pieces that you have shoved in a closet hoping to never think about again. You should spend a day or two sorting all your assorted possessions into three piles: keep, donate and throw away. Although you should not throw away loved treasures, tossing everything that is bringing you down can soon free up a lot of healthy space in your home, and prevent dust. Preventing dust is key for people who have allergies, and will help you breathe more freely and easily even if you don’t have allergies.

2. Build an Amish Pole Barn

So, the main building of your property is filled to bursting, and that is not possibly one item that you can dispose of. What do you do? Create more space, that’s what. This is an especially great plan if you have spare land to work with. By installing an outhouse such as an Amish Pole Barn, you will be able to establish one place to keep all of your spare possessions, especially those that you do not use every day. This can also be the perfect facility in which to enjoy hobbies in, such as creating a woodwork or writing workshop, or a home gym. However, to get the installation right, you should look around for pole barn builders who can do the majority of the work for you. All that is left for you to do is enjoy.

3. Install Extra Storage

Sometimes, homes can be busy and overwhelming spaces, and a lot of this can be due to a lack of storage in your home. Are your sideboards cluttered with ‘stuff’? Are your bookshelves heaving? You need to look into both standing and vertical storage options. You can choose from shelving units, cabinets, and even ceiling storage. You might also look for divan beds, desks with extra drawers, and consider cleaning out your under-the-stairs space. By doing this, every item in your home can have its place, without necessarily being on show. Things will feel a lot less overwhelming once you’ve done that!
