10. Storage Solutions
Designers quickly evaluate a home’s storage options, from built-in cabinets and shelving to closet organization and multifunctional furniture. Efficient storage keeps clutter at bay and makes spaces more livable, while a lack of organization or overflowing closets signals impracticality.
Clever solutions like under-bed drawers, wall-mounted shelves, and custom cabinetry demonstrate thoughtful design and maximize available square footage. In contrast, homes without adequate storage often feel cramped and disorderly. Effective storage enhances both form and function in any room.
