Maximizing Space Efficiency

To maximize space efficiency, the under stairs closet's layout was carefully reconfigured to accommodate a variety of storage solutions, ensuring every available inch was utilized for best craft supply organization. I wanted to make the most of this often-wasted space!

Here are a few ways I achieved space optimization:

1. Creative Storage: I used wall-mounted shelves and baskets to store items like paper, felt, and vinyl, keeping them off the floor and out of the way.

2. I Utilized Vertical Space by installing pegboards and hooks to hang items like scissors, tape, and craft tools.

3. Innovative Solutions like over-the-door storage racks and hanging organizers helped to keep supplies organized and easily accessible.

4. Space Utilization was key, so I made sure to leave no empty space unused, even using the back of the door for additional storage.
