Keep an eye out at home for hidden hiding places
Filed Under Shower Curtain | Posted on December 15, 2007
An unused shower stall in a house’s extra bathroom has become a sports center. Hidden behind an elegant shower curtain are scooters, bikes, roller blades and other small items that once cluttered various rooms. The spare shower provides a creative solution to a lack of storage.
Finding hidden storage in unconventional spaces is an ideal solution for apartment and condo dwellers or families in small homes. Even in large homes, unused bathrooms can solve many organizational challenges, according to Rivka Caroline, owner of SoBe Organized in Miami Beach, Fla. For instance, a spare bathtub can be converted to a small hidden laundry room, Caroline said. Just install a second shower curtain rod over the tub and use that rod to hang either wet or dry laundry.
“The trick is to think unconventionally,” Caroline said.
In other areas of the home, ornamental accessories and furniture can provide places to stash things. Near her front door, Caroline uses a beautiful antique desk to keep her family organized and equipped as they walk out the door.
She has it neatly stocked with water bottles, earpieces for electronic gadgets, phone chargers, flashlights, rain jackets, suntan lotion and other items for family or school outings.
