Using Corner Shelves
The shelving commonly found in the small rooms of old homes is usually small. You'll often find newer homes are purposely built with spacious storage cabinets, in most circumstances this fact negates the necessity to add shelves. However, in older homes storage space can be a problem in smaller rooms. Don't worry though, a good way to overcome this obstacle is through the clever use of corner shelving.
Corner shelves are perfect inside your bathtub or shower for storing shampoo and other bathing accessories. Kitchen corners are a perfect place to keep spices, cook books or just decorative plates or plants.
If you are against removing beautiful retro cabinetry, this is actually a great incentive to look for even more places to put corner shelves. Considering the fact that the upper cabinets are generally smaller than the lower ones, one idea would be to put spinning corner shelves inside the cabinets below. This is especially good for smaller food items and it will leave more room for dishes up on top where we tend to keep them.
Since upper kitchen cabinets are much smaller than lower ones, you can add spinning corner shelves in the lower cabinets. This works well particularly when you have a lot of food items to store and you still want to have enough space left for other items such as dishes and pans. Our tendency to stock up on food leaves little room for other things so corner wall shelves can really come in handy.
The installation of corner shelving in an older residence will also help to maintain its traditional appearance. Corner shelving has been a mainstay feature of historical homes; therefore it's the absolute perfect addition any tradition loving old home owner could make. If you have odd shaped nooks in your home consider adding some corner shelving to really enhance the look.
It is common for people to cover up unused areas of their home. This provides unusual spaces that make for good corner wall shelves. A prime example of this is chimneys and fireplaces. If the fireplace is out of use, it's common to cover it up. Rather than simply covering you can enhance the appearance and drastically improve your storage issues with corner shelves. Use the shelves to display attractive ornaments, photographs or vases. The phrase killing two birds with one stone has never been more apparent.
The key to success here is to be creative. Let the imagination run wild position and reposition again until you're satisfied you've attained the most atheistically pleasing corner shelf arrangement. Take a good thorough look at your home and you'll soon notice the areas like they were custom made for corner shelves.
