Creative Ways to Add Storage in the Living Room
From first-time buyers to empty nesters scaling down, many new homeowners are faced with the same frustrating challenge: where to store all of this stuff! Our agents have a few suggestions to help maximize the space and keep clutter at bay.
- Versatile bookshelves
Some of our Bakersfield homes for sale may already have built-in bookshelves, but even if they don't, free-standing bookcases are a great way to store a lot more than books. They can serve double duty by offering space for plants and knick-knacks. If you want built-in shelves, but your budget won't support such an extensive project, consider creating a mock version by adding decorative molding. With a little bit of paint and a few hours of work, your shelving will look like the elegant architectural feature you wanted. You can put small bookcases on top of refurbished cabinets painted to match to add a place to stash items not meant for display. It's always a good idea to anchor the shelves to the wall so they don't tip with excessive weight.
