Always consider the dimensions and layout of the storage space when planning what to store. It’s always a good idea to maximize space by utilizing shelves, stacking items carefully, and using furniture with built-in storage compartments along with using totes that stack nicely. Additionally, make sure to leave pathways for easy access to items stored towards the back of the unit and leave items you might need frequently towards the front of the unit for easier access.
