Cost Effective Shelving Solutions for the Office or Warehouse

How would you know what kind of shelving solutions to use for your office? How about your warehouse? What is the difference between just "cheap" and "cost-effective" storage equipments? When do you think you should try warehouse fit-out solutions? These are questions that would usually go through your mind when you're trying to find the right cost-effective storage equipments for your business.

Cost-effective vs. cheap

Desk Shelving Unit

Not all cheap shelving solutions are cost-effective, in the same way that not all cost-effective solutions can be considered inexpensive by everyone. When we say "cheap" we usually just refer to the low price of the product without actually considering its quality. Cost-effective products may not be that cheap (although some are) but they're definitely worth every penny you've paid for them.

Pallet racking for Warehouses

If you're looking for the most cost-effective shelving solutions for warehouses, then you should consider applying pallet racks. Pallet racks are durable racking systems which are perfect for heavy-weight materials. The beauty behind them is that they're cheaper, and their modular structure makes adjustments easy. In fact, most pallet racking systems are applied to warehouses because people never really know what they're going to keep next.

The pallet rack system allows easy changes in the height of each shelf. The only downside is that pallet racks really are for warehouses, and couldn't be applied anywhere else. They look much too industrial to be applied to office interiors, unless the decor's effect is meant to look pseudo-industrial.

Modular office shelves for Offices

If you want storage or shelving solutions in the office that are both inexpensive and cost-effective, you should consider modular shelves. These need assembling, but the assembly instructions are very easy to follow through and could be done by non-professionals. You can also change or adjust your shelves without having to drill holes on the wall when you go for this option.

The only disadvantage of modular shelving solutions is that the sizes are standardized. This may not be the right storage equipments for you if you would like to keep extremely big documents and other items. Modular shelves, though, are perfect for books and file folders that use standard-issue office paper.

Consider warehouse outfitting solutions

If you can't find the storage equipments you need among modular models, you can also have them customized. This service is also called "warehouse outfitting" and it's possible if you're ordering a good number of items per customized design. Customization is not always inexpensive, but it is cost-effective, especially if you need to store specially-sized documents, or items that require archival features from their containers.

Warehouse outfitting allows you to choose the materials that would be used on your storage equipments, the sizes of your storage equipments, the weight capacity, and for the most part, the prices of these storage equipments per unit. Make sure you're choosing a company that lets you consult with their resident expert when you're availing their outfitting services. You need to make sure that the containers aren't just aesthetically pleasing but could hold the weight of the items for storage as well.

Besides, consultations will also help you balance out the cost of the materials and the durability of the end-products. Most companies even offer free consultancy for their fit-out solutions, although some may charge you extra for the privilege.

Decorating a Child's Bedroom

If your preschooler is ready to move out of the nursery and into their own bedroom you may feel overwhelmed at all the decorating ideas that you have come up with. Finding the right decorating tips can make the task easy and affordable and have your child in their new room in no time. Your child needs to have a room that makes a statement and now is the best time to do this. Decorating a kid's room is very fun and easy. It doesn't cost as much as you would think. There are several ways to decorate your child's bedroom on a budget.

Desk Shelving Unit

Most of the cribs are able to be converted into beds when your child gets older. Make sure you keep the instructions and the hardware when you buy the crib at first. If your child wants to graduate from their crib you need to consider a nice comfortable toddler bed or twin bed. You can get a race car bed or a Barbie bed. There are several different ways that you can decorate a room starting with the bed. It used to be that the bed was plain and simple but not any more. You may want to consider purchasing a bed set that comes with the bed, desk and dresser all in one unit. This may include a lounge chair or couch as well. They are built for dorm rooms but they fit perfect in a child's room.

Desk Shelving Unit

There are several things that a child needs in their bedroom to make it more comfortable. Kids need their own time to themselves sometimes and it is important to give this to them whenever it is required. Every child needs their own table and chairs. They can do their work, their reading, and all their creative moments are going to be at their table and chair. It's best to put the table and chairs up against the wall so that they feel as though they are free to be creative without interruptions.

Every child needs a bedside table to keep a lamp on. This is for them to have easy access to light if needed. They will also be able to set their alarm clock and their favorite book beside of them in case they are having trouble sleeping.

Your child will need a radio in their room. The radio can give them the music they need to make them feel better when they are sad or bored. Music can change any mood and a radio is very important.

Paint the walls in bright color paint. Your child needs to be in a bright room and you can enhance the color with their favorite color. Using a bright color will allow you to switch the colors when you need to.

Don't forget to hang pictures on the wall to stimulate your child's mind. You can add family portraits of your child's time out together with the family. You can also use digital technology today to make these pictures extra special.

Curtains should be bright and short. Don't have panels that hang down to the floor as these can be dangerous. Instead curtains that fit the window is perfect. Also the use of blinds is another good idea because it can block out the light and make them feel more safe and secure at night. Don't purchase blinds that have strings attached to them. This is very dangerous.

As your child outgrows their toys you will need a place that you can keep them up out of the way. You can install shelving that can display the main toys that they have outgrown.

Getting Organized Tips - How to Organize Small Spaces

Small Room
It is very important not to load a small room with too many things. First, a small room filled with lots of things will look even smaller and it will be difficult to find what is needed.
So what can you do?

Desk Shelving Unit

1. Hang everything on the walls. You can hang shelving, TV, racks, etc.. These will create storage space and the room will look bigger and wider because there will be just a few things on the floor. Another big advantage in having almost no furniture on the floor is that it makes it much easier and convenient to clean and wash.
2. Choose a relatively large storage spaces instead of using many small ones. It is better to have one closet (of course, it shouldn't be too big in order to not take up all the space in the room) instead of 5 small cabinets. The more objects in a small room, the more it looks decluttered and it is harder to find things in there.
3. Use the corners of the room - furniture and objects that are located in the corners do not fill up too much space and don't block the light, since the windows are usually located in the middle of a wall.

Desk Shelving Unit

Small Kitchen

1. If your counter is small, you need to create additional storage space so that the counter remains as free as possible. You can add shelving between the counter and the cupboards to increase work or storage space.
2. Use racks. There are many things in the kitchen that you can hang - pots' lids, spices stand, various spoons, mugs and more. If you have a work space in the middle of the kitchen, you can hang a special rack to hang pots and larger objects on it.
3. Use plastic boxes or containers. Small objects can be stored in one plastic box. These little things will more accessible that way and you'll also free some space.

Small Bathroom

1. If you have a small bathroom, you should store there only the necessary items, and find another place for objects that are used infrequently. Put in the medicine cabinet personal care products that you use every day, towels or other important items under the sink.
2. You can also use closed plastic boxes to store other cosmetics and toiletries in the bathroom.
3. You can add a special rack in the shower or bath to for shampoo, soap etc..
4. Over the door rack with pockets can be used to store lots of small items.

Small home-office

1. In a small office, the organization is very important. In such cases, you should use a desk with many drawers and built-in shelves. That way, everything will be handy and you won't have to add a lot of separate shelves and other storage areas.
2. I also recommend using drawers unit on wheels. You can move it when necessary and make some extra room if you need to.

Even small spaces can be organized in a way that it is convenient, accessible and tidy.

Sometimes, you just need a little creativity to find unique solutions to any room.

Get Organized Using Repurposed Items

It may not be wise to sweat the small stuff but small things can quickly pile up and get lost, adding clutter to your home and unnecessary stress to your life.

Desk Shelving Unit

Conquering clutter whenever you've got a few minutes is wise. Set a timer if you want. It's amazing how much you can get accomplished when you focus completely on the task at hand, even if it's only 5 to 15 minutes.

Desk Shelving Unit

A functional desk or junk drawer or surface area or cabinet can have a positive impact on your life. It only takes a few minutes of work and a little creativity to accomplish some of the most beneficial organizing tasks.

Purging as you go is the most efficient way to get organized. Not sure about whether to keep or get rid of something? Put it in a box or basket to be dealt with at a later time.

Wouldn't you like to know exactly where something is when you need it? No more searching for lost keys, toenail clippers, paper clips, twist ties etc.

Accomplishing a task or two here and there, when you have a few spare minutes can be a great motivator to tackling bigger organizing projects (in bite sized chunks of time) down the road.

To keep things easy and to save you from running out to pick up a bunch of organizing tools, I've put together a collection of re-purposed household items that can double as organizers.

You may be surprised how easy it is to get better organized simply by re-purposing a muffin tin, a toothbrush holder or a pizza pan.

Muffin tins: Organize office supplies with a muffin tin. Use it to keep small items organized that tend to get lost.

Baking pans: Want to get shallow drawers better organized? Easily separate office supplies, bill-paying essentials and miscellaneous items using (three quarter-inch-deep) baking pans as drawer dividers.

Egg cartons: An easy and inexpensive way to organize the odds and ends in your junk drawer is to use an egg carton to storage small items like staples, thumb tacks, and elastics. The lid side can be used to store larger items such as pens and pencils, scissors, and a calculator. (Use a second egg carton in your laundry room to organize miscellaneous items like coins and buttons.)

Toothbrush holders: Have an extra toothbrush holder hanging around? Why not re-purpose it as pencil and pen holder or to creatively house paintbrushes? Have a matching soap dish you no longer use? Re-purpose it in the office to house business cards, post-it notes, paper clips and other small items.

Odd glasses and cups: Before throwing out odd glasses and cups consider using them as storage containers for Q-tips and makeup brushes on a bathroom counter or in a cabinet. Recycle yogurt cups and sour cream containers for storing items in bathroom drawers.

Glass jars and canisters: Use extra glass jars and canisters to decoratively store kitchen, bathroom and craft supplies or to display small collectibles like matchbooks, coins, marbles, and buttons.

Magnetic knife holder and hooks: Make a quick key rack by installing a wall mounted magnetic knife stripe on the side (or inside) of a kitchen cabinet, closet or shelving unit and add a few magnetic hooks. Another idea would be to add some magnetic clips and use it for keeping 'To Do' lists, receipts, gift cards, paint chips etc. handy.

Storing utensils: Easily locate a necessary kitchen utensil by re-purposing a plastic flowerpot, tall basket or wide-mouth vase for storing your utensils on the kitchen counter instead of in a crowded drawer.

Open counter storage: To make an attractive counter top display for bathrooms, place small white containers (easily found at your local dollar store) on top of a bright tray in a solid color.

Give Susan a new home: Re-purpose an old 'Lazy Susan' and use it to store medicines on a high shelf (out of the reach of young kids) in your linen closet.

Reuse kitchen items in your craft area: Enhance the storage in your craft area by hanging a metal pizza pan or baking sheet on the wall and adding some empty round magnetic spice containers (to store small items like pins, clips, and sequins). If you don't have any magnetic spice containers, simply buy some inexpensive magnetic strips (from a dollar store) and place on the bottom of small (labeled) boxes. Use to store lightweight items.

Store jewelry using drawer knobs, pulls and hooks: A simple and effective jewelry organizer can be easily fashioned using a piece of plywood covered with fabric and a selection of miscellaneous drawer knobs and pulls. (Simply secure the fabric to the wood by stapling the back and screwing in knobs, pulls and cup hooks.) Or, if you have lots of lightweight jewelry and an extra bulletin board lying around as well as a few push pins - just use that. (An ice-cube tray is also great organizer for pierced earrings without hooks.)

Create a catch-all for personal clutter: Keep your main entryway tidy by installing hooks and hanging a personalized basket for each member of the family. Everyday items like lip balm, iPods, sunglasses, keys, sunscreen etc. can be handy yet neatly tucked away.
