Many homeowners remodel their spaces with the goal of improving storage, yet they often struggle with truly maximizing access and functionality. It’s not just about adding more cabinets or closets—it’s about ensuring that everything has a place and is easy to reach.
This philosophy is central to the team at Dana King Design Build Remodeling to create spaces that are both visually appealing and practical, allowing clients to “Live Better at Home,” the motto of every one of their projects.
Integrate organization into remodeling
Dana King’s holistic approach involves understanding how clients use their spaces and designing storage solutions tailored to their needs. That can include:
- Strategic Storage Placement: Where should items go for maximum convenience? For example, should a heavy stand mixer go in an appliance garage with a pull-out mechanism, or should it be in a lift-up cabinet?
- Accessibility: Ensuring that storage solutions are not just abundant but also easy to use. Deep drawers for pots and pans, pull-out trash and recycling bins, and divided tray storage make everyday tasks effortless.
- Custom Solutions: Consider using frameless cabinets, which provide up to 15 percent more storage space than traditional framed cabinets, along with adjustable shelving and custom-built dividers to maximize utility.
- Lighting & Visibility: Organization requires being able to see and access items easily. Thoughtful lighting inside cabinets and under shelves ensures that storage remains user-friendly.
Whether it’s a kitchen where everything has a dedicated place or a bathroom with hidden storage for everyday essentials, thoughtful organization transforms how a home functions.
By working with King’s preferred partners at Sacred Space Organizing, you can even get help purging unnecessary items before the remodel and strategically packing what you plan to keep. This process prevents old clutter from being packed up and transferred to the new space, ensuring that everything has a purpose and a place.
Innovative solutions for common organization challenges
One of the biggest challenges that homeowners face is not knowing what’s possible. Many people have old habits and storage routines that don’t maximize their space. Dana King’s team helps clients see new possibilities by challenging their assumptions and introducing systems that better suit their needs.
These standout projects illustrate how Dana King Design Build Remodeling transforms spaces with smart organization:
- Secret Storage Spaces: Hidden storage solutions, such as toe-kick drawers for bathroom scales or drop zones in kitchens to keep clutter out of sight, provide discreet functionality without sacrificing aesthetics.
- Bespoke Kitchen Solutions: One client struggled with visual clutter from spices and oils near the stove. The team designed a custom spice storage solution that kept everything accessible but out of sight, creating a cleaner, more serene kitchen.
- Custom Bathroom Storage: Medicine cabinets have optimized storage with outlets inside, a lighted mirror perimeter, plus the perfect spots to hang toothbrushes, razors and products that could clutter counters.
- Pet-Friendly Designs: For families with pets, custom kitchen designs now incorporate built-in dog feeding stations that prevent bowls from being tripping hazards.
Professional organizers from Sacred Space further ensure that systems remain sustainable, so homeowners continue using them long after the remodel is complete.
Long-term benefits of thoughtful organization
A well-organized home is easier to maintain. When everything has a designated place, cleaning is quicker, and the home remains visually appealing. Clients often express how they feel “lighter” and less stressed after their spaces have been optimized.
Dana King Design Build Remodeling and Sacred Space Organizing emphasize that organization is not just about storage—it’s about creating a home that works effortlessly for you. Whether it’s maximizing kitchen functionality, streamlining a bathroom, or designing adaptable closets, the right solutions enhance daily life.
If you’re considering a remodel, don’t wait until the end to think about organization. Remodeling allows you to address the bigger picture to have the most space for you to live in, and an organizer addresses smaller-scale needs of helping you maximize the utility with the usable space. Plan ahead to ensure that your space is not only beautiful but also functional and allows you to “Live Better at Home.”
