Houston, TX (PressExposure) November 02, 2010 -- Houston Builder of new custom homes, Whitestone Builders, knows how to build new homes with ample storage. Often times, the new homeowners state the space feels cavernous when they first move in. But soon, they are bursting at the seams again. Why?
The reason may be lack of organization both before the move and after the family has settled. All the drawer and closet space in the world will not solve the clutter syndrome. The adage everything has its place could not be more true than in a new home. Here are some tips that principals David Gordon and Graham Gamble have learned from home builders associations with which they are acquainted.
The first tip is to weed through everything as you pack to move into the new home. Don't dump things into boxes to sort through later. Thin as you go. That way, what comes into the new home is only what you need and want. That rings true with furniture, toys, files, collectibles and what-nots. Then, label boxes with symbols or colors that tell you which ones have contents of priority to unpack and which will require storing away in a closet or cabinet.
Secondly, walk through the new home and don't be in a hurry to unpack and stuff everything away in drawers, closets, nooks and crannies. Plan where things will go. Your patterns will change because you now live in a new floor plan. What was once kept in the den may now be more accessible if stored in the home office, and what once was stuffed in the guest room closest may be better situated near the playroom, or out in the garage on a shelf. Leave space in cabinets, drawers and shelves for the future things you will inevitably collect.
Finally make a new resolution for your new home and life. Every spring, do an audit to see what needs weeding out. Determine what your family has outgrown or what has lost its usefulness.
With these few tips, your new custom home by this reputable Houston Builder will be spacious enough for years to come. Whitestone Builders build new homes with quality hand-made cabinetry, ample closets and storage strategically placed in each room. Your things are sure to fit just fine.
