Basic Attic Storage Area from Attic Ladders

Most homes in Sydney have some kind of attic or loft space, sometimes even with a ladder attached. So If your cupboards are bursting at the seams and shelves are overloaded, making use of your attic space to create more storage in your home could prove a very wise investment.

What type of storage do you need?

First and foremost, think about what items you want to store and what type of storage you will therefore need. A basic attic storage area is ideal for items that you do not need to use every day, such as golf clubs or tools, whereas paperwork, books, CDs and clothes call for an insulated, dust free storage space.

Attic Ladder
When considering layout, it is important to position the attic ladder in a location that is convenient and easy to access. Make sure the area beneath the ladder is clear of walls and free from furniture or anything else that could get in the way.

Attic shelving
It might be possible to add shelves to some of your attic walls. Attic shelves are the ideal place to store items like books and CDs. If you're storing heavier items, ensure you position these over load bearing walls.

Hanging storage
If you need to store bicycles, tools or garden equipment, explore whether it's possible to adhere hooks to the attic walls. Items like this can then be hung on the wall, maximising your use of space even further.

Sloped areas
Don't waste the space under the eaves - use sloped areas to store small boxes or any odd shaped bits and bobs.
