Find Storage Space: Build High Ceilings

High ceilings give you extra storage space

From Debra Purvis, Design House, About.com Guest

If you can't go out, try going up! Tall ceilings can be used to carve out more storage in several rooms. In your closets, several rows of higher shelves can be placed above your normal rod for items that are out of season. Kitchens and Great Rooms can also benefit from higher ceilings because you can use taller cabinets. Don’t forget the open area above the wall cabinets, which can house anything from a basket of books to speakers.
