📦 Amazon shipped me 90% air and I lost my mind about it. Is it just me who that drives absolutely crazy?!
Then I realized this is 90% of my client’s problem.
You don’t have a space problem. You have a packing problem.
EXHIBITS A-E 🕵️♀️
👀 The full foot of air above your plates? That’s a second shelf. A shelf riser is so inexpensive and you’ve doubled your space.
🕵️♀️ Your pantry shelves are 16 inches deep and you’re using bins 10’’ deep. It feels full because it looks full, but it’s not.
👀 I bet in some closet or under the bed you store empty suitcases. Pro tip: Nest the small one inside the big one, then fill it: with things like off-season clothes, the heated weighted blanket you use twice a year. Luggage is free storage that zips shut.
🕵️♀️ The three feet of air under your hanging shirts. That’s where a small dresser, stacked drawers, or a two-tiered shoe rack goes. Double hang rods work too! They clip onto the rod you already have, no ❌ tools 🧰 needed and you’ve doubled your hanging space.
👀 One giant bin holding random stuff that’s sunk to the bottom. I can see it now, there’s a HUGE plastic storage bin that’s about 1/4” full of stuff you couldn’t tell me “of what” if your life was on the line. It’s taking up half the shelf space in the guest closet.
If you think you’ve “run out of space”, that’s almost never true. You run out of visible, eye-level space. Real space is usually hiding in the air.
If you want someone to find it for you, (i guess i can now call myself an “air finder” 🤣) that’s literally what we do.
