Cabinets and shelves are needed for almost every room from the garage to bedrooms, bathrooms, corridors and entries. An effective storage system makes the flow of everyday life easy, and saves time and nerves of the residents.

Lack of storage facilities is a very common problem in homes. New home storage system design is a good start with an existing situation. Is there enough storage space for all goods, what more is needed and where it should be located? Most of the storage needs come from users' needs and habits. Do we need space for recreational equipments and what kind are they? Is someone in the family collecting something, does someone fix the car or other equipment, is there a need of specific crafts tools? Where the friends visiting can put their stuff and where their bedding is stored?

The planning of perfect storage system for home is a challenging work, and it is stretching the imagination of the designer. Success is based on preparation. In order to succeed all needs should be write down and space plan should be made before starting the project.

In the ideal design all clothing, household textiles, hobby supplies and cleaning equipment are stored there, where they are most used. Rarely used stuff, for example office supplies, clothes for the specific hobby, or extra bedding clothes can be stored out of the way, and even further from sight.

Next step is to explore the opportunities in the market and the selections offered. Storage systems have evolved tremendously over the past few years. A variety of specialty shelving and drawers for all kinds of solutions and needs are offered, from storing your favorite tie or golf shoes to the presenting of the equipment stored elegantly while in storage.
