Storage Design Ideas

There is never going to be enough storage in the average Hong Kong home. In a recent interview, Clifton has suggested a few useful tricks in conjuring storage when interior space is tight. By utilizing the floor and adding lift-up plywood lids above the platform or steps, we can make extra storage space for clothes and bags. This under-bed storage idea not only offers extra storage, it also gives easier access to things that was hard-to-reach before. As people won’t use storage if it is hard to access, this idea provides a solution that works well. Moreover, Clifton recommends adding a foot-operated light switch and an LED strip on the platform steps to light up the under-bed closet. Besides bedrooms, the platform treatment can be given to living rooms as well as the kitchen areas.
