Organizing The Shelving Store

We pride ourselves on being the home organizational experts, but we're also great at organizing work spaces too. It should be no surprise that we at The Shelving Store use our own products to keep our store, warehouse and offices organized!

One of our favorite products to use around the office is Chrome Wire Shelving- we use it everywhere! In our warehouse, we assembled a chrome wire shelving unit that serves as a storage area for extra printers and office supplies. We have built several chrome units that serve as computer desks as well. These shelving units are sturdy enough to handle the dust and dirt that can accumulate in our busy warehouse and the vented shelves simplify the cleaning process.

Many of our employees have built custom chrome wire shelving units to use near their desks as well. These custom shelving units are great for extra storage. Using the smaller units underneath their desks helps our employees securely store their personal belongings nearby while not taking up desk, drawer or floor space. Chrome wire document holders and utility baskets are great wire shelving add-ons our employees love to help keep papers and work organized.

Limited Kitchen Space?


Limited Kitchen Space is a problem that plagues many people, especially those in apartments or older homes. At The Shelving Store, we are experts on helping make the most of limited kitchen spaces.

Recently a customer came in because looking for a kitchen storage solution. She had some space in her dining area, where she wanted to install some storage shelves, however she also needed more work space. We suggested the Chrome Wire Kitchen Kart! It was exactly what she was looking for. It gave her the storage shelves she needed, and she could easily move it to another room when she needed to have that extra work space. She also choose Hardwood Shelving Inserts, allowing her to utilize the shelving unit as a extra kitchen workspace as well, because the hardwood shelving inserts double as a cutting board!

Not Enough Space?

If you find yourself holding a random household item and asking yourself where can I put this? only to resort to cramming it into an already too full drawer or closet, then you are in desperate need of some organization.

One of the most stressful things in household clean-up is trying to figure out where things should go. If you feel like there are not enough surfaces or spots in your home for your knickknacks, books, toiletries, clothes etc. Then you are in need of an some organizational solutions.

Not enough space for decorative items?
Collectible items, art or picture frames can add up fast. Perhaps a decorative shelf would best display your most prized possessions. Try Zen shelving or Glass Art Shelving for a unique look. Even Chrome Wire Shelving can function great for those die hard collectors who need more space to show off their assortments.

Is your closet a hopeless case?
Many closets lack one thing, space! Using a Elfa Closet Storage Solution will eliminate closet clutter for good! Place lower shelving for shoes and shirts, and pull out wire storage bins for socks and scarfs. You will be amazed by how fun getting dressed will become.

Not enough space for work, school or business items?
Books and papers can make your home look like a cluttered nightmare. Thankfully you can have a clear work space in no time with an Elfa desk or perhaps some wall mounted shelves. Finally having a spot for pens and paper can really help you think clearer and work better!

Bathroom lacking sufficient cabinet space?
You may be looking for some functional and really amazing stackable bins. It is hard to keep toiletries organized and there never seems to be enough room. Increase the size of your sink cabinet with Akro nesting bins. With these bins, keeping bathroom cleaners separate from hair products and shaving cream separate from hairbrushes will be no problem at all.

Kitchen storage a big a problem?
Cooking can be a hassle if everything you need is behind something or stacked underneath five others things. Maybe a gliding drawer would be the answer to your prayers. No longer reaching to the back of the cupboard, but simply pulling out an mini-glider and having everything in your eyes view. If it is the pantry that needs more room, maybe a mounted door kit would be that extra space you have been looking for.

Getting organized is easy and fun especially with so many different choices. With new shelving and storage perhaps next time you are cleaning up house, you will not be asking yourself Where can I put this? but saying happily, What can I put here?.

Clean Up Remaining Holiday Clutter!

The holidays have left my home in a mess, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find items that I set out to look for. I am sure this may also be true for many of you! Now that the holidays have passed, it's time to gain control of your home.

Start by packing up all the decorations and store them until next year. Make sure you do this in an orderly way so you don't allow your home to become cluttered. Put the decorations back in boxes, and label them so you will know exactly where everything is located. I love using chrome wire shelving for my larger storage needs. It is the perfect type of shelving to use when storing bulky decorations since the wire shelves are able to support large amounts of weight. Use a larger unit, such as the 4 shelf chrome wire shelving, to neatly stack and hold all your boxes.

With all the gifts both given and received over the holidays, extra storage in your bedroom closets can come in handy for boxes, wrapping paper and other holiday clutter. A chrome wire wardrobe kit is sure to provide more space. Hang clothes on the wire coat rod hanger and stack items on the wire shelves above and below. The wire shelves on the wardrobe kit will provide more shelf space to hold excess boxes, clothes and decorations.

Wire shelving is the answer to any organizing conundrum. Now you won't be able to let Christmas clutter get the best of you.

Add A Little Christmas To Your Shelving Units

It's that time of the year to begin decorating the home and rekindling that holiday spirit! I love to deck the halls with colorful lights and comforting decorations that have been a part of my family for years. I have found that shelving, such as wire shelving and Umbra decorative shelving, are perfect to use when it's time to decorate my home.

Umbra decorative shelving can be used all year round to display books, pictures and other collectibles. Then, when the holidays near at the end of the year, the Umbra shelves turn into holiday decorations. I can proudly display all of the holiday trinkets and collectibles that my family and I love.

Wire shelving is very easy to decorate. With the open wire design, lights and garland can be wrapped through and around the wire unit without risk of falling off the wire shelves. Wire shelf liners are perfect to use if you need to display holiday photos or other items that will easily fall over on the wire shelves. The wire liners are also available in holiday colors, such as red.

When I'm entertaining during the holidays, I like to decorate my wire wine rack. I can display my wine collection in a festive way. Wire utility carts are also convenient to use during parties. I like to place holiday cookies and other hors d’oeuvre on the holiday decorated cart and simply let my guests move it around the room.

I am very excited to use my shelving to help decorate my home for the holidays!

Chrome Wire Shelving Is Great For Allergy Relief

Indoor and outdoor allergens can cause red, itchy eyes, difficult breathing, and persistent sneezing. Controlling the amount of allergens in the outdoor air is impossible, but indoor allergens can be managed. I found that Chrome Wire Shelving units have helped to reduce the amount of dust and other particles floating through the air and accumulating on my furniture.

The ventilated design of these chrome wire shelves allows for air to flow, minimizing dust collection. With no solid surfaces, the harmful allergens have nowhere to cling to on the wire shelves. Dusting traditional shelves can move dust around and disperse it through the air, but Chrome Wire Shelving Units won't have allergen particles being scattered throughout your home. Chrome Wire Shelving will also help to reduce the amount of hair and pet dander that gathers in the homes of pet owners.

Use chrome wire shelving throughout your home for storing books, boxes, and toys. These chrome shelves may not provide a definite solution for allergy relief, but they will help to reduce the amount of suffering you have to endure, especially during those seasons when allergies are at their worst.

Keep your home dust free,

Outdoor Patio Shelving and Plants

When decorating your home, it's important not to forget about the patio. It is an area where people gather to talk, relax, and enjoy each others company, so it should look just as appealing as the rest of the home.

Make it more inviting by decorating with colorful, lush plants. You can display them on shelving that is able to stay outdoors, such as SI Chrome Wire Units. This steel-plated, metal shelving is durable enough to withstand the changing weather, while continuously looking stylish and attractive. Two or four shelf chrome wire units would be perfect for holding plants or drinks and food for guests. Place an 8" deep by 8" wide three shelf chrome wire unit at each corner of the patio and fill them with bright, fun flowers and other plants. This will create a perimeter around the patio, and enclose it without taking up too much space.

Next time you decide to redecorate a room in the house, choose your patio. There is plenty of opportunity for creativity and fun when decorating and enhancing your outdoor seating area.
