How to Make the Best Use of Space in a Dubai Home

Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of your room thinking what to do or put in that extra 'odd space' that you have? Or have you rearranged your furniture to no end just to get the space you need?

 

Whether you live in the stereotypical 'Dubai apartment' - perpetually crammed for space - or you just want to get more out of a tiny corner of your home; Closets Unlimited shares a room full of possibilities that will surely help you utilize every little corner of your house!

A wall bed, or Murphy bed as some call it is a great way to save floor space in a confined room or to create more space if the room needs to be multi-purpose (office, TV room, guest room, etc.). In addition, if extra space is available on the sides of the bed, wardrobes can be added, keeping the bed surrounded by extra storage cabinets.
 

Luckily, many corridors and hallways in Dubai are very wide. It feels good and spacious to keep them empty, for passage only. However, when in a pinch about storage space, that area can easily accommodate a library. These bookcases are usually not very deep, still leaving enough space to walk by. Bonus point - you can pick up your favourite book on the way to the bedroom!
 

Apparently, nobody can get enough space to store shoes. The entry hall is an area often overlooked.  Cabinets with shelving and doors will organise and conceal the shoes. The space still looks tidy, and the shoes are right at the door as you come and go.
 

The TV and other media in the house usually stay in the living room. It kills the entire wall.  That space can be used to hold all your electronics and if well planned, store different things behind doors, or be used as a display are for home décor.
 

Another place where one can find additional space for storage is to look into the existing wardrobes. Are they maximising the space they take? A well-designed wardrobe can hold twice as many things as a poorly designed one.
 

Food storage takes up a lot of the kitchen cabinet space, in a place that is already jammed with other cooking stuff. Look around. A separate space for a food pantry makes life much easier. Frees up kitchen space, keeps all food together and easy to find. Shelves and small drawers can solve the issue. 

 

If you are one of the few lucky ones who have a laundry room, make the best use of that space. A proper layout of the space will hold the washer, dryer, countertop for folding, and some shelves for cleaning supplies. If the ceiling is high enough, the extra space on top works great for luggage. .

So the next time you are stuck for space, or just bored with the current layout of your house and want something different, be sure to book a consultation with Closets Unlimited. They're Dubai-based and can provide you the best options for your Dubai abode!
