What Organization Trends do Homeowners Want Most?

Home design and storage organization has changed quite a bit over time. It seems open-concept is all the rage right now. We want all the space we can get! The trends in organization have followed this direction as well. So, what are homeowners demanding their closets contain? According to the Woodworking Network and Organized Living , it’s his & hers closets, wall-to-wall shelving, and adjustability.

His & Hers

A very popular trend, for not only convenience, but also aesthetics, is the idea of ‘his and hers’ areas, whether that be a closet, vanity, or nightstand. In your closet, this can look like customized areas meant for specific items. Women tend to have more odd shaped clothing – long dresses, high heels, knee-high boots, large hats, bags, belts, and jewelry. Men’s clothing is more standard; everything is about the same size as a shirt and shoes are all relatively the same height. Building a customized closet will involve looking at the couple’s clothing and designing spaces catered to their specific wardrobes. Consult an organization professional, like Innovative Home Storage, to help you decide on where shelves, hooks, and clothing rods should be placed in order to maximize space and make it more organized for both him and her.

Wall-to-Wall Shelving

Shelves are a quick and easy way to add a lot of storage to any room in your house. Wall-to-wall shelves are probably trending because of their adjustability. Change the heights and distance between them to fit baskets, books, shoes, or whatever else you are storing. Not only are they very useful, wall-to-wall shelves look nice, too. If you have room, or like the aesthetic, shelves can go wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling as well! Use these shelves for decoration and storage.

Adjustability

Our society is quickly asking for more and more customized features in a home.  People will look for a house that they can adjust/renovate to fit their needs. Homeowners want to be able to make their home work for them. Creating rooms with adjustable shelving, portable closet rods, and spaces that allow for creative storage is so important to making someone feel at home.
