    Wow.....tall order! Any more info you can provide? How big is the house? Where do you need storage? Any photos? What is your priority area?

      Bedrooms. The house is approximately 2000 sq ft bedrooms have very small closets. We had two closets built in the owners suite and that still doesn't give us enough storage space. Thanks for your help.

    Build a garage, a barn, a storage shed like a lean to shed along the back or side wall, turn the attic into storage. Use under the bed.

    Before you make permanent physical improvements make sure your house doesn't require special permissions from your town or historical commission due to its age. Better safe than sorry!

    Easy! Purchase a shorter, 20 footer shipping container, paint to match and there you have it. 8 x 20 is a lot of storage space. Check your area, the smaller are generally not more than a smidge over a grand.
