There may come a day when you wake up and realize that your relationship with the current storage systems in your home is just not working for you. Maybe you’ve had some frustrated thoughts for a while about storage systems that don’t fulfill your needs. Or maybe you experience a sudden awakening that opens your eyes. Whatever the situation may be, you and your storage systems are just no longer on the same page – despite the effort, there just isn’t suitable space for all your belongings. You start to wonder if you should just renew everything or if there is some way to fix or upgrade what’s already there.
Many choose to just accept the faults in their storage systems, as they feel that starting a storage renovation project requires major changes, including changing closet frames and the whole deal. Luckily, this is rarely a necessity, as you can create significant improvement by just changing the interior of your storage systems. We put together some tips that are great for helping you plan your storage system renewal.
START FROM SCRATCH
You might have lived in your home for a while, which means you’ve gotten very much used to how your storage systems function. Try to forget how you are currently using your storage spaces and what they should store inside them. Instead, sit down and think of what kind of storage system you need. What kind of things do you need to store? What needs to be quickly accessible and what can be stored somewhere less easy to access? How do you need to consider other family members while planning your storage? Empty your mind of all expectations and presumptions. Now is your chance to be creative and a little selfish!
Don’t just visualize your new storage system in your head: put it on paper. First draw the exterior measurements for you closet and then write down what you want to store in that specific space. Once you know what needs to fit in, you can start sketching baskets and other storage unit parts to create a suitable spot for every item you want to store in the space. After you’ve finished your sketch, match it with existing products. Sometimes you might need to alter your plan a bit according to the parts available on the market, but now you have an excellent base to work from.
If designing your own storage system feels challenging, you can always write down your storage needs and ask a storage system professional, like Lanka Finland, for assistance. Storage systems should always be planned well, as they can last up to decades in use.
TIP: When you decide to renew your whole storage system at once, you will end up with a unified look and parts that will age in the same pace. This way you won’t have to spend every other year thinking about storage changes or renewals but can instead focus on enjoying everyday life in an organized home!
CHOOSE A SYSTEM THAT ADAPTS
Storage systems need to shift and change over time in different life situations. Thus, it’s important to choose a storage system that easily adapts to different stages in life. Our baskets are made from durable and safe materials that last with you through different phases in life. Our baskets are easy to install: you can easily change their place inside your closets or change from a bigger basket to a smaller one or vice versa, according to your current storage needs. The basket slides are easy to screw into place, and our innovative installation margin makes sure the baskets fit into standard-sized closets like a glove.
Baskets are an excellent choice for storage because they are easy to adapt with accessories to match your specific storage needs. Separators, bottom boards and smaller storage baskets give a whole new dimension to a traditional storage basket. The same basket can be used for storing sweaters, socks, or small toys for kids. You decide, what you want to store in a basket – we provide products that will make it happen easily.
QUALITY IS KEY
Sometimes the reason to renew a storage system is purely because the old system has come to the end of its road. When you decide to renew your storage system, it’s good to stop and think what you want to invest in when choosing new storage solutions. At its best, a storage system can live with you in everyday life in good condition for decades – as long as it’s well designed and made out of quality materials. In the long run, you’ll save money when you invest in a quality storage system, compared to having to renew your storage choices every few years.
A well designed and quality produced storage system is durable, but also safe to use. Quality baskets should not fall out of the closet when installed right. There should also not be any coating material or loose parts falling off of them. All materials we use at Lanka Finland have been tested to be safe and last in good condition for a long time.
When you decide to start a new relationship with your storage system, don’t settle for less than you deserve. Plan your future well together and make sure you get the best possible quality and safe components to continue everyday life together!
