How to Plan Storage During a Home Renovation 🚧 ✨

When you’re planning a renovation, it’s easy to get lost in the exciting parts — the mood boards, the tile samples, the paint colors. But one thing that often gets overlooked in the middle of all that creativity is where everything will actually live once the dust settles.
Organization is often treated as something you’ll figure out later. But the truth is, the best time to think about it is right now, while the walls are still open and the plans are still flexible.
We’re currently working with a client who’s rebuilding her home from the ground up, and it’s been such a great reminder of how powerful it is to think through storage early.
We’re going room by room, looking not just at square footage but at how she and her family live — what they own, what matters to them, and how their routines flow through the house. It’s less about adding more space and more about making the most of the space that’s already there.
Architects and designers do incredible work. They’re the visionaries who bring beauty and structure to life. But they can’t always account for every detail of what you own: your coats, serving pieces, tools, kids’ sports gear, and everything in between.
When storage planning is part of the conversation early on, those details get built into the foundation of the design instead of being squeezed in after.
Planning with your real life in mind means your new home will work for you, not just look good in photos. Closets feel intuitive, drawers open easily, and there’s a natural place for everything you use every day.
If you ever need help, know that professional organizers can help you plan storage during your remodel. Through a remodeling storage consultation, an organizer can assess your inventory, review your plans, and make sure your new home has enough functional storage for the way you actually live.
They can even collaborate directly with your designer, architect, or contractor to ensure every inch of your space is both beautiful and practical.
Happy organizing! ✨
