Use These Outdoor Storage Solutions to Get Back to What you Love
In Southwest Florida, it’s not uncommon to transform your outdoor space into an outdoor-indoor living space so you can enjoy the beautiful weather and soak up the sunshine all year round.
Here are some incredibly helpful outdoor storage solutions from our friends at Better Homes and Gardens.
Spring Cleaning Outdoor Storage Solutions
Go Vertical
The vertical space on your patio is ripe with possibilities. A clothesline is perfect for storing bags, totes and other lightweight items. And both high and low shelves, made of weatherproof wood and metal, is perfect for stacking and storing the more bulky items in your home.
Small Tables, More Seating
Small tables, just the right height and width for a vase or cold drink, are lightweight enough to move out of the way for outdoor gatherings and can even serve as stools for large outdoor parties.
Don’t be a Basket Case
But do purchase a few baskets with handles so you can easily carry items from one spot to another and corral bulky pieces so they stay tidy. Your new big basket can collect blankets, cushions and throws for cozying on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book. Keep in mind that they are susceptible to rain, so it’s best to keep them in a sheltered spot.
Utilize that Hidden Seat
Go to your local outdoor home furnishing store and snatch up a cheerful bench that will liven up your space, but also provide storage underneath via its hinged top. You could store garden tools, potting soil or children’s toys inside.
Get Off the Hook
Inexpensive rubber-coated hooks to elevate folding chairs and plastic buckets for storage can be a life saver. Label your plastic buckets to meet your needs and you’ll never lose anything again.
We hope you’ll be able to utilize these tips and create more function and style in your outdoor space.
