Creating enough storage space in the home is a constant struggle for most people. The need for more room has led to many inventive ideas, including this one.

The space above doors is a great place for storage as it is out of the way and makes use of areas that would otherwise be unused. You can install open-air shelving as shown, or add a mini cabinet or cubbies.

In rooms like the bathroom, above door storage is a great place to add extra towels and toilet paper. In the bedroom you can use the space to store books or handbags, and in the living room you can display memorabilia and nick nacks.
