Don’t Overlook Storage in Your New Build Budget

12/12/2024

When you’re building a new home, closets and storage are often the last thing on your mind—and budget. But as soon as you move in, you’ll realize how essential they are. To avoid the dreaded “where does all this go?!” moment, here’s how to budget and prepare for your storage needs:

  1. Start with the Garage or Basement:
    • Do you need shelves and cabinets for boxes, luggage, or holiday decorations? Start here and create a space where everything is easily accessible (and not stacked in a corner).
  2. Don’t Forget the Pantry:
    • Many builders leave pantries to the cabinet company, but at Colorado Closets Plus, we’re experts at maximizing every inch of your pantry. Think:
    • A shelf for your blender, juicer, and toaster.
    • Dedicated spaces for jars, rice, canned goods, and more.
    • Maybe even a counter for extra prep space!
  3. Bedrooms and Linen Closets:
    • Shelves, drawers, and hanging rods are a must to keep your clothes, towels, and linens off the floor and out of the chaos.

Without a plan, your belongings will end up in a messy pile on the floor. Don’t let that happen—let Colorado Closets Plus help you get ahead of the game.
