Boost your productivity when working from home by having us create a modern home office space.

Our custom home office designs with built-in cabinets are comfortable, highly functional, and aesthetically appealing, which creates a working environment conducive to good productivity.

The drawbacks of buying big box cabinetry

Buying cabinetry for your home from a big box retailer might cost less, but there’s a reason for that. Big box furniture doesn’t offer the same quality of materials or craftsmanship as custom-made furniture.

That leads to structural and functionality issues, which inevitably result in a short lifespan.

Custom cabinetry also lets you choose wood finishes, decorative hardware, and unique sizes to fit your space. With off-the-shelf furniture, you’re limited to far fewer design and size options.

And big box furniture can be notoriously difficult and time-consuming to assemble yourself, or may require extra fees to have installed professionally.

Why custom cabinetry solutions make more sense

A custom cabinetry solution is worth the investment, especially when it’s from a full-service company like Organized Interiors.

We’re hands-on with all aspects of your custom cabinetry project and don’t outsource any of the work involved.

Here’s our process:

  1. One of our design consultants discusses your custom cabinetry ideas and goals with you and creates the design
  2. The custom cabinetry is built on-site at Organized Interiors in our manufacturing facility
  3. The finished product is installed in your home by our professional installers

Why Bed Surround Storage Is the Bedroom Storage Solution You’re Overlooking

Is clutter and a frustrating lack of bedroom storage space an ongoing problem in your home?

Well, there’s a solution that you may not even be aware of – bed surround storage.

Bed surround storage is a somewhat overlooked solution for storing your belongings in the bedroom. Closets, dressers, and wardrobes tend to be the more obvious bedroom storage options, but a custom bed surround can be just as valuable.

What is bed surround storage?

The relatively under-the-radar nature of bed surround storage may mean you’re not even aware of what this type of furniture even is. Its name is actually quite self-explanatory, however.

Simply put, a bed surround is comprised of custom-made pieces that are integrated (meaning they’re designed to join together to form one large piece of furniture that has a clean, stylish look).

It includes storage space and other design features that can be added underneath and at the foot and head of the bed.

Bed surround storage unburdens your packed closets and dressers

Your closets and dressers may be a disorganized, overstuffed mess due to your bedroom lacking a quality closet organizer or other helpful closet accessories.

Those will definitely help and adding a bed surround is another way to relieve some of the burden that your other bedroom storage spaces may be experiencing.

Bed surrounds are particularly effective in smaller bedrooms that are prone to clutter due to inadequate storage space.

A bed surround maximizes storage space in the bedroom

A custom bed surround is carefully designed to utilize the maximum amount of storage space available in the area that it’s occupying.

Working around the dimensions and design aspects of your bed, we create a multi-purpose piece of custom furniture that gives you more storage space underneath and around your bed area.

Why your current underbed storage systems need improvement

Underbed storage is especially valuable, despite the feng shui theory that advises against it.

A queen size bed takes up approximately 33 square feet of space and a king size bed occupies about 42 square feet. Why waste that prime storage space underneath the bed?

When that underbed area is used, it doesn’t tend to get utilized properly by homeowners, however. Some people just stuff their loose belongings there, with little regard for organization or cleanliness (you may have noticed that area is an absolute haven for dust bunnies).

If a storage system is used, it’s probably a cheap plastic flat tote that isn’t destined for a long life. These storage methods are inferior to what a bed surround provides.

How a bed surround does a much better job using underbed storage space

Drawer space that’s located underneath your bed can be designed to the width and depth that your needs require. No underbed storage space is wasted and the elimination of any open space here also gives you one less area to vacuum.

Your infrequently used items stay out-of-sight, while remaining easily accessible. Linens, pillows, and out-of-season items are perfect for storing here.

bed surround storage 2

Additional storage spaces provided by a bed surround

Bed surround storage isn’t just about making use of the storage space below your sleeping area. It can include additional storage space in the form of a wardrobe, a wall unit that has open shelving or shelving behind closed glass doors, and bedside tables.

Any combination of these integrated furniture pieces is possible with our custom crafting capabilities.

Bed surround storage adds a contemporary look to your room

Along with the high functionality a bed surround provides, they’re also bring a very stylish upgrade to your bedroom’s decor. Surrounding your bed with custom cabinetry makes it the focal point of any room, especially when refined touches like accent and task lighting are added.

Our wide variety of bed surround finish and decorative hardware options will effectively complement your bedroom’s existing decor as well.

Why a custom bed surround is the smartest choice

Working with a company that is hands-on in all aspects of your bed surround’s design and installation has its advantages. Our complete oversight of the entire process ensures you’ll receive a finished product you’re 100% satisfied with.

A custom cabinetry manufacturer like Organized Interiors gives you complete control over how your bed surround will look. Here are some of the design features that can be added to a bed surround:

  • plenty of decorative panel options that determine the bed surround’s colour, finish, sheen, and style
  • choose from the largest selection of Richelieu decorative cabinetry hardware in Toronto
  • integrated bedside tables with soft-close drawers
  • open shelving and closed shelving with glass or wood doors
  • an integrated wardrobe
  • task lighting for reading
  • accent or ambient lighting to highlight personal effects such as photos or artwork

How bed surround storage evolves from an idea to reality

Working with our clients, our design consultants create the bed surround’s design. Then our skilled craftspeople (who custom-build all of our cabinetry) bring that design to life.

Finally, our professional installers ensure that the bed surround storage fits into your bedroom space perfectly.

Here’s an example of a bed surround that was designed for one of our clients:

But how does one bring these inspiring ideas stored in cyberspace and on a smartphone to life in your very own kitchen?

What is Pinterest?

For the uninitiated, Pinterest is a social media site and app that allows its users to save and sort images and videos (called “Pins”) found online.

It’s been described as a “database of intentions”, a “social bookmarking site”, and a “visual scrapbook”.

You can easily add any of the images on Organized Interiors’ main site or blog to your Pinterest board simply by being logged into your Pinterest account and clicking on the “Save” button in the top left-hand corner of a photo.

6 Home Holiday Tips That Make Space For Living

The holiday season brings festive joy and the opportunity to entertain houseguests.

While this time of year is enjoyable, it can also be stressful and hectic if your home lacks the kind of decorative touches and features that will really leave a positive impression on guests.

One of your worries may be over your home’s inadequate accommodations for overnight guests. Perhaps you’re just wishing your home decor had a more appealing sense of style and character.

Is dealing with that ever-present excess clutter that needs to disappear before your guests arrive wearing you down?

Try using some of these home holiday tips to make your house a more inviting space this festive season (and year-round).

1. Convert a spare room or office into a guest room with a wall bed

One of the home holiday tips worth considering is to create a comfortable guest room using the spare room in your house.

The best way to accomplish this is by having a space-saving custom wall bed (also known as a Murphy bed) installed.

Wall beds fold up when they’re not needed, which allows them to be used in smaller spaces. You could even incorporate this guest space into your home office.

Organized Interiors can custom-fit your wall bed to the exact requirements of your space, either as a standalone unit or as part of a beautiful custom cabinetry unit.

As these instructions explain, they’re easy to use and every bit as comfortable as sleeping on a conventional bed.

The convenience and comfort of a wall bed in your cozy guest room will ease your mind, knowing your overnight guests are well taken care of with this high quality sleeping surface.

2. Impress your houseguests with classy custom bar cabinetry

Custom bar cabinetry adds a touch of class to any space. Your holiday houseguests will be impressed by one of the many elegant custom bar cabinetry designs available from Organized Interiors.

Our design experts can create a bar as part of a larger custom cabinetry unit, mini-bars for smaller spaces, and island-style bars. Whichever design you choose will enhance the decor and entertaining capabilities of your home.

3. Add beautifully crafted custom wine cabinetry

Any good holiday gathering inevitably involves the enjoyment of some quality wines.

If you’re a collector who hasn’t yet invested in a high quality wine storage system for your home, consider the benefits of choosing custom wine cabinetry.

Regardless of your available space and the size of your wine collection, Organized Interiors has the ideal wine storage solution for you.

For larger collections, we can create a beautifully designed walk-in closet wine cellar or a wine cellar room that can also function as a unique spot for entertaining holiday guests.

Smaller wine collections are perfect for our reach-in wine closet design. They’re ideal for keeping your bottles stored in the optimal dark lighting conditions, while taking up little space in your home.

4. Add a modern electric fireplace to enhance room ambiance

Adding an electric fireplace is one of the home holiday tips that’s guaranteed to boost the ambiance of any room. Any room featuring one is sure to be a popular space for your holiday guests.

Modern electric fireplaces give you the charm and appeal of a roaring fire without any of the mess and headaches of wood burning fireplaces. And you’ll still enjoy the pleasant heat that radiates from the fireplace’s energy efficient ceramic heating system.

5. Add a stylish entertainment unit

Some of these home holiday tips can be incorporated into the design of a stylish entertainment unit.

A customized entertainment unit becomes the focal point of any room where holiday guests are gathered. Your bar and fireplace, along with your audio and video equipment, can all be housed in a custom-fit entertainment unit.

There are a wealth of entertainment unit design options to choose from, such as lighting features and wood finishes.

6. Control your clutter with helpful organization and storage solutions

Nothing worries a homeowner who’s entertaining guests more than how tidy their home is.

Even with the aesthetic improvements that the ideas in these home holiday tips bring to any space, their benefits will be offset by the presence of excess clutter.

Stuffing clutter into closets before guests arrive isn’t a practical option. Keep your home clutter manageable with useful organization and storage solutions that make this an easy task.

Custom closet organizers and our bedroom storage solutions are your best tools for the job of consistently keeping your home tidy.

Home holiday tips that help year-round

These six home holiday tips will serve you well during the festive season. More importantly, they’ll add enhanced functionality to your home on a year-round basis.

Maybe you have a blossoming interest in wine collecting and have noticed you’re constantly shuffling around bottles in your kitchen as they begin to take up more and more counter space.

The importance of storing wine properly

Regardless of whether you’re new to wine collecting or a longtime collector and connoisseur who instantly knows the special significance of a bottle of 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s important to store your wine properly.

Wine needs stable, ideal conditions to age properly and maintain its quality, especially when it comes to long-term storage. Several factors will affect how successfully your wine ages:

  1. Lighting conditions: too much light, especially ultraviolet light, will make your wine age too quickly and spoil it. That’s why red wines are typically found in green bottles, which helps to block out sunlight and preserve the wine’s antioxidants.
  2. Temperature: how your wine ages is significantly affected by temperature. You definitely want to avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature where your wine is stored, as your wine is very sensitive to such changes. Too high a storage temperature speeds up the wine’s aging process too much, while too low a temperature will impede its development. Getting a definitive answer from experts is next to impossible (opinions widely vary), but a temperature anywhere between 50-65°F (10-18°C) for wine storage will be sufficient.
  3. Air circulation and humidity: you should have some degree of air circulation wherever your wine is stored. This helps minimize the chances of mould forming on the bottles’ corks. Humidity also affects corks and how quickly they can dry out or shrink, which lets oxygen into the wine bottle (too much oxygen can spoil the wine). Humidity levels where your wine is stored should be between 55-70%. Cork preservation is also why bottles are stored on their sides, which keeps the corks wet and restricts the transmission of air through them.
  4. Movement: too much vibration or jarring movement can be detrimental to the development of your wine. Older wines with some built-up sediment are particularly sensitive to movement and vibrations in the storage area.

Wine storage that fits your available space

With a clearer understanding of why proper wine storage is so important, it’s time to decide on the best area for your wine storage system. Wine storage solutions can work in a variety of spaces in your home, even small ones.

A reach-in wine closet for smaller spaces

If your home is smaller and free space is at a premium, a reach-in wine closet is a great solution. A reach-in wine closet provides plenty of storage space and keeps your wine in optimal dark lighting conditions, while remaining out of the way.

wine-cellar-tasting-chairs

Larger spaces can accommodate a wine cellar room or walk-in closet wine cellar

Owners of larger homes can dedicate an entire room to storing their wine collection. A wine cellar room or a walk-in closet wine cellar offers a lot more flexibility for designing your dream wine storage system.

And you’ll appreciate that extra storage room in the future. It’s a safe bet that once you’ve caught the wine collecting bug, your number of stored wine bottles will be ever-increasing!

Our custom cabinetry is designed to allow for proper air circulation around the bottles, while also protecting them from too much harmful light. Depending on your preferences, your cabinetry can feature single cubbies for individual bottles, larger cubbies for up to four bottles, even larger sections for storing a dozen bottles, LED lighting, and other options.

If large enough, a wine cellar room can also function as a unique space for entertaining guests. Just add a little furniture and your wine and cheese tastings will take on an additional appeal with the warm atmosphere that the customized wine cabinetry background provides.

Wine storage systems add a decorative touch and functionality

Along with the storage and organizational benefits that a custom wine storage system gives you, they also add an attractive decorative touch to your home.

Our design experts will help you match your custom wine storage system to your home’s decor.

For elegant solutions when it comes to safely storing and showing off your valued wine collection, turn to Organized Interiors. Our custom wine closets, wine cellars, and cabinetry allow you to take your love of wine to the next level.

Schedule a free in-home consultation with one of our designers today. They’ll help you choose the best spot for storing your wine and can design a custom wine storage system that fits your budget.
