1. Pegboard storage
First, consider installing pegboards. Mount them on your walls to hang seasonal tools, sports equipment, gardening supplies and more. Add hooks, baskets and organizing accessories tailored to your needs. A colorful pegboard neatly displays items while adding decorative flair to your space. Keep seasonal goods visible and within reach.
2. Repurposed crate storage
Next, repurpose old crates, bins or pallets for inexpensive, customizable storage. Check secondhand sources or reuse what you already have at home. Stack crates in your garage, basement, closet or other areas to corral out-of-season clothes, holiday items, sports gear and other seasonal belongings. Label the crates clearly so you know what’s inside at a glance.
3. Plastic storage bins
Don't overlook plastic bins for seasonal storage. Clear bins let you see what's inside without rummaging. Label each bin clearly - "winter clothes," "camping gear," etc. Stack them neatly in the garage, closet or basement. Look for lidded bins to keep items dust-free and pest-free. Plastic bins keep categories separated so you can swap seasonal stuff efficiently.
4. Vacuum storage bags
For oversized bulky items like sweaters, blankets and winter coats, use space-saving vacuum bags. Place the items in the bag, attach it to a vacuum and suck out the air. Seal the bag to compress everything tightly. Store bags under beds, on shelves or tuck them into plastic bins to maximize space. Vacuum sealing protects items from dust and moisture.
5. Under-joist storage
Want to stash things out of the way? Install storage racks or shelves under basement or garage joists. It's wasted space perfect for tucking away seasonal decorations, camping supplies, sports equipment and more. Use a ladder to place and remove storage containers when needed for easy access. Paint or finish the shelves to match your home's style. Keep seasonal clutter hidden but reachable.
6. Garment racks
Garment racks are ideal for clothes that are out of rotation. Store off-season coats, dresses and other garments neatly on a rack for wrinkle-free access. Place racks in basements, closets or in a corner of any room. Sturdy rolling racks allow you to move clothes storage as needed. Install racks that won't tip over when loaded with heavier winter essentials.
7. Entryway storage
Maximize entryway storage for grab-and-go access to seasonal items. Mount hooks inside the front door to corral hats, mittens, umbrellas and leashes as the weather changes. Keep things handy but out of sight. Conceal essentials for any forecast by stashing must-haves for each weather scenario in clever entryway storage spaces. Entryway storage catches possessions before they scatter through the house.
8. Floating shelves
Floating shelves add pretty display space for seasonal decor. Mount sturdy shelves to showcase candles, greenery and cozy accents in winter. Swap in seashells, flowers and sunlight-loving decor come summer. Paint or finish shelves to fit your style. Anchor securely to hold the weight of hefty cycle valuables. Floating shelves keep decorative touches looking fresh all year long.
9. Sporting goods racks
Don't let sporting gear clutter your garage, mudroom or basement. Install vertical racks designed to hold bicycles, fishing poles, skating boots, hockey sticks and other recreational equipment. Look for heavy-duty racks with padded hooks that mount to the wall or ceiling to keep seasonal sports equipment organized but out of the way. Customize racks with arms and slots that fit your family's hobbies and sporting needs.
