When Your Closet Won't Hold It All

Closets filled? Try these solutions to store items that just won't fit.

From Householder's Survival Manual

• Set up freestanding closets, freestanding stackable baskets, or wire baskets on rollers in your bedroom, a spare room, or the basement.
  
  
• Use sturdy under-bed boxes made of plastic or laminate for blankets and extra bed linens.
  
  
• Make a storage corner in your bedroom or the guest room, then hide the stacked boxes with a decorative screen or curtain.
  
  
• Stylish storage, such as steamer trunks, vintage suitcases, or decorative boxes, do double duty. They add stylish storage space to a room, and can serve as tables or footrests, too.
