If you are struggling to keep your home organised and are constantly trying to figure out where to put things away, then maybe it’s time to consider some creative home storage solutions.
The quick solution vs. the right solution
There are many quick storage solutions to help keep things organised, such as baskets and bins; however, too many of these can add to the clutter in your home and aren’t a permanent solution.
Proper built-in storage, customised to your home and needs, is the best way to truly organise your space and achieve a lasting storage solution.
An added bonus is that effective built-in storage adds value and appeal to your house if you ever want to sell.
Fineline—the leaders in storage solutions
Fineline has been an industry leader in South Africa for customised storage solutions for over 40 years.
Originally made famous for our built-in wardrobes with sliding mirror doors, we at Fineline have moved beyond just wardrobe creations to helping you with the right storage solution for anywhere in your house.
Let’s look at some areas of your home that may need some extra storage help.
Hallways and passageways
Hallways and passageways generally are areas where you need to store everyday things. This includes items such as sports equipment, gym bags, school bags, swim towels, and other miscellaneous items. These items need a place but should also be out of the way to keep walkways clear and your home from looking cluttered.
A Fineline built-in cupboard with sliding doors is the perfect solution for these areas. No matter what space you have, we can install a cupboard to fit your exact dimensions.
Our cupboard internals are designed and customised to fit your exact needs and requirements. Whether you need loads and loads of shelves, some hanging space for coats or even some pull-out drawers, we will design the storage solution you need.
Fineline only uses sliding doors across their cupboards and wardrobes. Sliding wardrobe doors are the most effective for tight areas such as passageways and hallways, as they take up no floor space when opened and closed and don’t obstruct walkways.
Our sliding wardrobe doors can now be finished in several different materials, such as mirror, glass, solid-colour or wood-grain melamine or a combination of materials. This means your storage solutions are not just functional but beautiful as well.
Living rooms
Living rooms are often the heart of the home, serving multiple functions from relaxation to entertainment. If you have young children, the living room is also often where they play. Efficient storage here is about balancing aesthetics and functionality. It needs to be a space that you want to come sit down in, relax and enjoy the family.
Shelves are a great way to maximise the storage potential of any room because they utilise vertical space effectively.
Along with built-in cupboards, Fineline also has a modular storage system called Infinity. Infinity is comprised of aluminium stanchions that are connected to the floor and walls. To these stanchions we can add a number of different storage solutions such as shelves, cabinets or drawers. This system is completely customised to your space and requirements, balancing the mix of ‘seen’ storage with ‘out-of-sight’ storage.
This system is not only functional but looks incredibly sleek and modern too. It would also work in other areas of your home, such as a study, work-from-home office or playroom. Shelves can be made of glass or melamine. The drawers and cabinets can also be done in your choice of solid colour or wood grain melamine.
Bedrooms
A bedroom should be a tranquil space, free from chaos and clutter.
The most essential bedroom storage solution is a well-designed wardrobe to keep all your clothes, shoes, bags and accessories in order.
This is where Fineline Wardrobe Solutions really shines. We are renowned for our well-designed, beautiful wardrobes that maximise every inch of available storage space and get the perfect mix of hanging, shelf and drawer space to ensure all your clothes are neat, organised and cared for.
As with all our storage systems, our wardrobes are made to measure and are designed for your room and dimensions.
Finish off your wardrobe with a set of gorgeous sliding wardrobe doors in a finish of your choice. Your bedroom will not only be clutter-free but beautifully stylish too.
Extra bedroom storage solutions
Bedrooms, however, often need a little extra storage help other than just a wardrobe. Here are some other creative storage solutions Fineline can assist you with.
Shelves and display units
Bedrooms are our own personal space where we want to show or display some of our favourite things, such as books, ornaments, and picture frames. In the case of kids or teenage bedrooms, they also need loads of extra storage for their toys, gadgets and personal belongings.
Fineline Solutions can assist you in creating built-in shelves and display units to help you organise and display all your belongings.
Dressing table
Every girl needs a dressing table to help her get ready each morning. We at Fineline often create a dressing table that matches the finish of the Fineline wardrobe. The consistency in design and material creates a calm coherence throughout the room.
Accessories are also clutter-causing pieces that can be difficult to organise. Fineline can install accessory drawers either into your wardrobe or dressing table. These organisers will keep your accessories perfectly arranged, making getting ready each morning a breeze.
Study desk
Kids’ rooms often need an organised area where they can do their homework and study in peace and quiet. Fineline Solutions can help you create this space with a desk top, drawers and shelves for all their files, books and stationery.
Garages, storerooms and utility rooms
Areas in your home such as garages, storerooms and utility rooms have to work extra hard at functional storage. Often these areas have old items that can be dangerous to small children, such as tools, pesticides and chemicals. Proper, safe storage that can be hidden out of sight and possibly locked away is crucial.
A Fineline storage solution can be used anywhere in your home and is particularly effective in garage and storeroom areas. Our cupboards can be designed with any configuration of shelves or drawers you require to put things away. Sliding doors are optimal in tight spaces such as garages, where you don’t have to worry about a hinged cupboard door dumping into cars. Fineline’s sliding doors can also be installed with locks, keeping dangerous tools and substances out of reach.
Our storage systems are often used to house alternative energy systems and back ups. The sliding doors keep the bulky systems out of sight but aid in quick access to them when needed.
