Shaker Peg Racks Add Space Where Space Is Limited

In smaller homes storage is always at a premium. It is very easy for a smaller space to become cluttered and feel tight and even smaller than it already is. Many people advocate the creative use of vertical space or hidden space to maximize the amount of available square footage. Creative storage options can be both functional and stylish. Well done bookcases, racks, window seats, etc add an attractive yet functional look to any home.

Closet space is the first thing to go in smaller homes. Often times in larger homes there is a dedicated coat closet in the foyer. In smaller homes, this is not the case. Why not place coats in the bedroom closet? While this is certainly an option the last thing anyone wants to do right before they leave the house is go back to the bedroom to grab a coat. A shaker peg rack provides an attractive solution to the problem of coat storage. Place an attractive shaker peg coat rack right inside the entryway and the problem of a convenient place to store coats is solved. They are remarkably easy to install. A drill, stud finder, a level, and a couple of screws are all that it takes to install a shaker peg rack for coats. Once installed storage space is instantly increased.

Books are a great conversation piece. There are even books that are marketed as strictly conversation pieces. They are called coffee table books, but not all books can easily fit on a coffee table. Bookshelves take up valuable floor space. That is why the space conscious homeowner should look vertical. Head high wall mounted bookshelves like shaker peg racks are easy to install. They require a level, stud finder, and some screws. Once installed there is now a head high bookshelf to store books. They are not taking up space on the coffee and end tables. They are put away on an attractive bookshelf. They are still easily accessible, but they are now out of the way.

This is also a consideration for the kitchen. Counter space is limited in the kitchen. There is no need to crowd counter tops with spices, cookbooks, and utensils. Installing peg racks,and bookshelves, provides much needed extra space and keeps the kitchen counter clear of clutter. Counter tops are for work not storage.

Vertical storage is a great option for those homes with limited square footage. Shaker peg racks, antiqued head high bookshelves, and spice racks help to add space and a unique look to a home. Efficiency is attractive in and of itself.
