With that in mind, your loft may be a space you have neglected over the years, and it could be the solution to saving space in your home. Whether your loft is old or new, small or big, you can utilise vertical space and keep your items stored away neatly.
This blog post is going to dive into some of the best ways to utilise your loft and use the best loft shelving to help transform your home.
The benefits of an organised loft
Getting your loft organised will have so many benefits, and it can be done easily with the perfect loft storage solutions. If you have been neglecting your loft for years, it may be the perfect time to finally bite the bullet and get organised just in time for the winter.
With an organised loft, you will:
- Reduce the look of clutter in your home.
- Creates more space in other rooms in your home (e.g. living room, kitchen or garage).
- Will make it easier to get items when you go in loft (e.g. seasonal items).
- Makes it safer when it is organised.
- Utilises all areas of your home.
The easiest way to organise the loft
Loft organisation can be made EASY with just some simple steps, and here at Rhino we can help guide you through to make the process as simple as possible.
-
Have a declutter
This should always be your first step in organising, as it will make your organisation 10x easier. You do not want to be organising a load of clutter, and it may save you a huge amount of time if you get rid of any items you have not used in years. Make three piles: bin, donate or sell and begin to organise your items, depending on whether you still need them. Consider getting rid of old books, toys or clothes to free up space.

Map out how much space you have
Now you have your items sorted and more space to work with, you will need to map out exactly how much space you have in the loft. If you have a smaller loft, make sure to utilise vertical space as much as possible (by using tier loft shelving). Once you know how much space you’re working with, you can begin to plan where you want to put all of your items.
-
Decide which items you want in the loft
Make sure you know exactly what is going in the loft (and don’t just throw any old junk in there) to ensure your items aren’t being neglected. You may choose to store away seasonal items like festive decorations, old memories with the kids, or maybe even sports gear, but whatever you do choose to store up here, make sure you know what it is to ensure you can easily find it.

Use storage boxes
A great tip to ensure your loft stays organised is to use storage boxes (and label them) on your shelving. Label every box and item with exactly what is inside to make looking for items so quick and easy.
A lot of people avoid going in the loft as it is so disorganised and hard to find anything, but by having clearly labelled boxes, it will not only look amazing but make life so much easier when looking for items in your home.
