Spring is a popular time for home sales.

If you are in the planning stages of listing your home in the real estate market, you know how important it is to utilize every inch of square footage and maximize the spatial feel. This is not always easy to do, but we have some great starter tips that are as economical as they are quick to install! Custom storage systems will greatly enhance the appearance of your home at first glance by creating closets and storage areas that appear twice as big. You will see a larger return and quicker sale if your home is manicured and market ready.

Custom storage is not only a smart choice for organization, but it can also serve as a staging component to create space and design elements that add the appearance of additional rooms to your home’s layout.

Make Awkward Spaces Functional!

While nooks and cubbies are charming, they can limit the perception of usable living space by the nature of their odd shape. Make the most of awkward spaces by giving them a visible purpose and function. Adding attractive wall-to-wall shelving can create the suggestion of a small office area or cozy library. This new space adds value to the home and will be a feature potential buyers are sure to remember.

“There should be no forgotten spaces in any house for sale. It’s all about square feet,” says Shirin Sarikhani of Seattle Staged To Sell during an interview with Houzz. Putting every closet and nook to work by fitting in smart storage options will not only make your space seem bigger, but more appealing and usable to potential buyers.

When deciding which areas may be your home’s biggest clutter hotspots, you’ll want to address some of the most common problem areas. Buyers are sure to be impressed when these areas are tidy and offer ample organization options:

Laundry Room:

Use the space above the washer and dryer for storing items! Install and use shelving or cabinets to hold laundry cleaning supplies.and offer a place for folding clothes.

Master Bedroom:

It’s wise to invest in a clothing and shoe storage solution for the master bedroom closet. Messy closets may turn off a potential buyer with clothing storage priorities.

Real Estate agents interviewed by HGTV for the show Designed To Sell, insist that it’s important to show buyers lots of storage. Experts agree that storage sells houses; always ranking high on a buyer’s priority list.
