Overhead Garage Storage Tips

More and more people are now using their garage as an extension of their house and an extra storage system for all their belongings. Thus, there is no longer room enough for family vehicles and other tools, for which it has been originally designed. When you catch yourself in such a situation, then it is advisable that you invest in some overhead garage storage. With the help of some equipment, you can address the problem effectively. This storage system maximizes the space for further use and frees up your wall and floor the family car and things that it was specifically designed.

By making use of your ceiling to store seldom used items and light objects, your garage floor will then be free from clutter. Another advantage of this innovative solution is its accessibility. All you need is to attach your shelves into your ceiling and a ladder. If climbing on a ladder sounds like a problem to you, then you could opt for a pulley system that is mostly composed of a "4x4" platform. You could just easily load it and lift it up without the risk of falling from a ladder.

Still not sure what to put on your overhead garage storage? Consider these seasonal items such as your holiday decors, old documents, camping supplies, old clothes, folding chairs, memorabilia and potentially hazardous equipment that you'd like to be out of your children's reach..

What are the things to consider if you want to install this storage system? Carefully consider your specific requirements, the structural capacity and design of your garage and most importantly, the materials need to carry out such a plan. You need to make sure that your garage is able to handle the extra load or you will end up messing more things up. The material composition of your ceiling will determine how capable it would be in handling additional loads. If it is made with wood or roofing material, then keep in mind to limit it to lighter objects.

Do you want your ceiling storage to occupy the whole area or just a part of it? If you have a high ceiling, then its advisable for you to utilize the whole area for a maximum storage capacity. If you want just a part of it, then choose carefully which spot you want to install it.

Considering all these factors, you are now ready to install your overhead garage storage. You can do it yourself by buying readily available supplies from a home improvement store or better yet hire a professional if you are still unsure of your skills in getting new things done. The most common style is the heavy-duty metal frame rack. This type of ceiling storage system can hold from light to moderate loads. This means that those old documents, camping supplies and seasonal clothing, but definitely not with your bike and folding chair altogether! Another type is with the use of plastic racks that are much cheaper and convenient. It is available in various sizes and shapes. However, if want to make sure of its durability, the first type is much more reliable to use.

Now you are ready to have that excellent overhead garage storage installed! Be sure to sort things out first and do not just get too excited with the idea of getting extra storage and freeing up your garage's floor for parking. Careful and considerate planning always drives success so take things one at a time and you will enjoy your new ceiling storage system much longer.

Fitting-Out Your Hotel Rooms - What to Consider

When refurbishing an older hotel or Bed & Breakfast, or building one from new, there are many elements to consider in making your guest rooms ready for use. There are essentially two different ways you can go, bespoke or best-value for money, or even a combination of the two. This article will take a brief look at what you should consider, whichever direction you choose.

Folding Clothes Racks

Bespoke design means fitting out each room to a unique design style. This can be costly, because you will have to source items individually and so possibly as a consequence lose any bulk-purchasing power. There is a growing trend for boutique hotels, however, and bespoke is almost a prerequisite for this market. Here, it's important to think about who your guests are, what they will expect and what they will be comfortable with. Your own taste can be your worst enemy here, because you may not represent in any way your guests and their tastes. Research is the key, if you plan to go bespoke.

Folding Clothes Racks

If budget is a higher priority then you can consider combining elements of bespoke design with high quality purchases from a specialist supplier. This can take much of the worry out of the process, because a specialist will be able to advise you on Fire Safety Regulations and which products meet the requirements of the law for sleeping accommodation.

Buying all your essentials from a single source will also save you time and money, because specialist suppliers will offer better value than even online stores selling to the general public. There is also the question of re-supply, because multiple use demands multiple re-supply. Buying from a specialist will offer much more certainty in re-supply, and again better value.

When you talk to a supplier, thoroughly prepare a check-list first and then you will be armed and ready for whichever direction the negotiation takes. In general, it's the more you buy the better the deal. Bed linen, cushions, curtains and towels are the obvious items for your check-list, but within these categories there are specific categories that shouldn't be overlooked - from black-out curtain linings to towel weights that match the quality of your accommodation.

Then there are the essentials that may not be so enjoyable to shop for, but form a necessary element in any guest room. Folding luggage racks are expected by many guests and these should match the decor of the room. Clothes hangers are vital and cheap ones that you may think can be recycled from your own shopping can send quite a negative message. Wooden hangers are really the only hangers suitable for multiple use, and you might want to consider those with a security rod and plastic security clips for hanging onto the clothes rail.

Whether designing on a budget or going for the bespoke look, there are definite benefits to taking a long look at your shopping list and deciding which items can be bought in bulk.

5 Ways to Get the Best Use Out of Your Home Treadmill

The #1 fear that people have when investing in a home treadmill (or any piece of exercise equipment) is that they won't use it.

Folding Clothes Racks

You know the story. It gets delivered, you set it up and enjoy it for a few days...and then it sits...and waits.

Folding Clothes Racks

A few months down the road, you notice how dusty it has become and how much space it's taking up. And you remember how much weight you were determined to lose by using it faithfully every day. But now, unfortunately, it doubles as a clothes rack.

Never fear. This article will help you make sure that DOESN'T happen.

A treadmill provides the best overall cardiovascular workout & it's still the number one exercise machine for those who want to lose weight. So it's an investment in your health that will pay large dividends...if you are prepared to get the maximum benefit from it!

Here are 5 easy ways to get the BEST use from your home treadmill:

#1) Do your research first

Make sure you look at what each treadmill offers you and compare it to your unique needs.

For example, if you live in a condo and/or like things neat and clean, a folding treadmill might suit you best. If you want a folding treadmill, do you prefer a manual folding treadmill (like most folding treadmills) or do you want a shock-assisted folding treadmill with wheels on the bottom that's easy to move?

If you like to drink water during your workout, make sure there's a water bottle holder included in the treadmill console (it might surprise you how many treadmills do not have this feature.)

Do you get bored easily and need a challenge? What about getting a treadmill with lots of user programs or one that is iFit compatible?

These things may seem little and maybe it might cost you a bit more; but if it means you're actually going to enjoy your workout it will be well worth it!

#2) Place the treadmill in a 'happy' spot.

By 'happy' I mean well-lit, open and stimulating. Don't put it so you face the bare wall when you walk or run. I've tried this this and the workouts don't last long! If you get bored easily, put it facing the television or facing a window where you can have an attractive view while working out.

Rooms and spaces have definite 'feels' to them and that will affect the success of your workouts. Make sure your treadmill is placed in an area that makes you feel energized, happy and mentally stimulated.

#3) Get your exercise arsenal ready BEFORE the treadmill arrives.

Do you like listening to fast music when you exercise? Do you like watching your favorite movies? What about reading magazines? What inspires you to work out and feel your best?

Get these things ready even before your treadmill arrives and you'll be three-quarters of the way there. Have several workout or favorite CD's around. Get your favorite movies or shows on tape. Gather your favorite magazines.

By having an 'exercise' stash around your treadmill, you'll be inspired to workout AND you won't be stuck running around looking for something to do when you want to start exercising.

Again, this may seem simple, but it works. Why do you think gyms have magazines, televisions and CD players handy?

#4) Make an exercise plan.

Before you start working out, try making a plan, a "roadmap to your rock-hard body" so to speak. By writing down how long and what kind of workout you'll be doing in week 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, you'll get yourself psyched up for success.

Remember that every time you workout, you are planting the seeds for the kind of dream body that you want.

By having a plan, you can see just how many seeds you've planted (and even how long it will take to start reaping the results!) Have fun with it and you'll be motivated to achieve your health goals (and get maximum benefits from your treadmill!)

#5) Track your progress

Ok this is related to #4 but it's more of an ongoing thing. By tracking your progress every day, you get a major sense of accomplishment which snowballs into even greater fat-burning results.

I suggest you have 'minimum goals' like "I'll walk for at least 10 minutes." or "I'll do 5-30 second intervals." These are easy to do and you'll probably go beyond them - which will encourage you even further and heighten your sense of accomplishment.

And of course, you're also getting maximum benefit from your treadmill!

Those are 5 ways to get best use from your home treadmill. Just remember that even a little bit of preparation will pay off large dividends in the long run.

Laundry Room Layouts That Work

Laundry rooms are all about work, so it's essential that your laundry room layout optimizes the space to help you be efficient on laundry day. The size of your laundry room isn't as important as the way you arrange the appliances and accessories.

Folding Clothes Racks

The first and most important principle of laundry room design is ease of access. Not only should it be easy for you to load and unload clothes from your washing machine and dryer, you should also be able to perform these tasks without bumping into things. Also, if you have space, put your laundry room on the ground floor of your house - this will prevent you from having to lug loads of laundry up and down flights of stairs.

Folding Clothes Racks

Lighting is extremely important in laundry rooms. You need to be able to see well to perform precision tasks such as mending and ironing, and bright lights help you identify stains on clothes that need to be treated before washing. You should include both overhead lighting and wall-mounted light fixtures, and aim for uniform brightness among all light sources in the room.

Once you've created a well-lit layout that gives you easy access to your appliances, the next step is to add helpful accessories that will make laundry day easier. Keep a wastebasket near the dryer so you don't have to walk anywhere to empty the lint trap. Most ironing boards fold up and can easily be stored in the narrow space between the washer and dryer. If you want a table for folding clothes, opt for a hanging table that you can lower when needed and raise so it's out of the way when it's not in use.

Organization makes things much easier, too. If you have a family, assign each family member a color-coded laundry bin so you know whose clothes are whose. Should you have the luxury of a large laundry room, consider hanging an indoor clothesline so you can hang delicate items to air-dry. A foldable drying rack is also a boon to any laundry room.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of a little décor. Some pleasant accentuations, like flowers or pictures, will help laundry day be a little more pleasant. Also, since you'll probably be working in the laundry room for extended periods on a regular basis, it's good to invest a few dollars in an inexpensive radio or CD player so you can listen to music while you sort, fold, wash and dry laundry.

To help you accomplish these goals, take careful measurements of the room you plan to use for laundry before you go shopping for appliances. This will help you select models that can fit comfortably into the assigned space while leaving room left over for accessories and laundry aids.

Organizing a Small Laundry Room

Today when space is at a premium, the area available for your laundry may be very limited. By using clever space saving techniques and multi-purpose utility products you can organize your laundry room to look clutter-free and impressive.

Folding Clothes Racks

Getting wall-cabinets to efficiently use the space available is a clever idea since it will not take up any of your floor space. You can store all of your cleaning material like soap, bleach, softener and stain removers in it and they'll be within easy reach, yet conveniently out of the way.

Folding Clothes Racks

Putting up a few hooks in or below the cabinets will help create more space for storing things that can be hung. This way they will not take up shelf space. If you think wall cabinets are too expensive, wall shelves are also an attractive, yet affordable, alternative.

Use boxes to keep your shelves organized and clean. Remember to clear away empty bottles and products that have gone unused and have been sitting on the shelves too long. That way you free up more space and reduce the clutter.

It is also a good idea to organize your dirty clothes by using a laundry sorter, that way your clothes will already be in their proper place when you need to do them. You won't have to waste extra time sorting them yourself. You'll find it will save you time on your laundry day and keep all the dirty clothes neatly into sets that can go straight into the washer.

An iron is also a necessity. But you may not be lucky enough to have space for an ironing board. Using a collapsible, foldable ironing board can help save space. There are units available where the ironing board folds into a box or a drawer. Or consider a wall-mounted unit which will save you additional floor space.

Also, remember that the ironing board could be used for folding clothes once they are washed and dried. Foldable table tops are available which can be used for your folding and ironing purposes. In which case, it will fold up against the wall when not in use.

The space above the washer and dryer can be used to access a rod that maintains hung-clothing once it comes out of the dryer. It will provide you with a simple yet effective way to keep your clothing wrinkle-free. It could also be useful for clothes that can't go in the dryer and need to drip-dry.

Or if you have enough space you could use a clothes rack by the dryer as an alternative.

A small, compact dustbin near the dyer will be useful to collect the used dryer sheets and lint. A plastic container could be kept handy to store away any bills, coins, keys, paper and other items that get left behind in pockets.

And last but not the least, remember to keep your floor clean and make sure you have enough light so the room always looks warm and welcoming when you walk in.

Customizing A Closet To Suit You

If you are in the situation where no matter what you do to your closet, you end up facing a cluttered mess, and then perhaps it would be a good time to consider customizing the closet. Customizing a closet can be done quite easily and with a very manageable budget. Storage space can be doubled or even tripled with a few well-placed customized closet organizers. Installing a couple of shelves or maybe even a full closet organizing items will change the way you use the space in your closet.

Folding Clothes Racks

Customizing your closet begins with a well thought out plan and picking out some closet organizer items to implement the plan. Installing some extra shelves is quite handy when you need to fold away extra clothes that are out of season. One of the chief space wasters in a closet are clothes that take up hanging space that are not needed. Clothing accessories do not normally have customized storage spaces in a closet and end up being placed in awkward areas. This makes them difficult to find when needed. Adding an accessories storing unit to the closet will sort this out.

Folding Clothes Racks

Another simple but very effective way of customizing your closet is to replace the doors. If you move a closet into a room with little space, then replacing the hinged doors with bi folding or sliding doors is a good idea. The new doors will allow a more convenient access to the pathway in front of the closet that would normally be blocked when opening a hinged closet door. If you prefer to hang on to the hinged door, then consider closet organizer accessories that utilize the back of the door. A hanging shoe rack would make shoes easier to find while freeing up a lot of space inside the closet that would normally be taken up by the shoes.

Customizing a closet to suit your needs with closet organizers is a simple and effective way to sort out your closet organization needs while making the most out of what little storage space you have.
