Finding a place for everything is easier when your apartment is designed with storage in mind. Every home at Wesley Kensington Apartments at Stonecrest includes a walk-in closet and extra storage on the private patio or balcony. Bulky items can live in those spaces, which keeps the rest of your rooms open and easy to use every day.
The goal is simple: you should be able to grab the beach towels or a heavy winter coat without having to pull everything off the shelf to get there. Give each item one home, and put it back there when you’re done. A good storage plan starts with taking stock of what you own.
Take Stock Before You Buy
Start with what you own, grouped by how often you use it. Coats, work bags, and cleaning supplies come out daily, so they need the spots you can reach without moving anything else. Holiday decorations and camping gear come out once or twice a year and can go to the back of a shelf. With the groups settled, the question becomes where each one fits.
Closet shelves and under-bed clearance vary from one home at Wesley Kensington Apartments at Stonecrest to the next, so measure your own to make sure it fits perfectly. Shelf depth matters most, since a container an inch too deep will not fit flush against the wall. Walk through with a tape measure and write these down:
- Shelf depth and height inside the walk-in closet
- Width and depth of the patio or balcony storage
- Thickness of any door you plan to hang a rack on
- Wall space beside the entry for hooks or a bench
With the numbers written down, you can buy containers that use the full depth of each shelf. Clear bins show you what is inside at a glance, so use them on the shelves you reach into weekly. Opaque boxes work for everything else, as long as you label the front. If your list runs longer than the space you measured, ask our leasing team what additional storage is available on site.
Work the Walk-In Closet From Floor to Shelf
Shoes, boots, and anything heavy belong on the floor, where nothing has to hold them up. A low rack keeps pairs off the floor and visible at a glance. Bins on casters roll out when you need them and tuck back without any rearranging.
The rods above hold the clothes you wear in rotation. Shirts, jackets, and skirts all stop well short of the floor, leaving a band of empty air underneath them. A second rod hung in that gap gives you an extra full bar of hanging space. Slim hangers then free up a few more inches along both bars.
The top shelf is for luggage, extra bedding, and holiday boxes, since reaching it means getting a step stool. Lidded bins keep dust off anything soft stored that high. Shelf dividers hold a tall stack upright when you pull the bin beside it. The walk-in closets at Wesley Kensington Apartments at Stonecrest come with wire shelving already installed, so the top level is ready to load the day you arrive.
Claim the Space Under Beds and Behind Doors
Risers under each leg lift a low bed frame a few inches, opening up room for a deeper bin. Containers on casters can then be pulled out with one hand, even when the bed is against a wall. Vacuum bags shrink comforters and winter coats down to a fraction of their size, so a full season of bedding fits in one flat box.
Doors give you the second surface. A rack on the back turns one into shelves deep enough for bottles, jars, and boxes. Hang one inside the linen closet to move toiletries off the shelves and free them for bedding. Hooks do the same work on a smaller scale, holding a robe and a towel on the back of the bathroom door with no hardware in the wall.
Choose Furniture That Doubles as Storage
In the living room, a storage ottoman holds blankets and remotes under a lid you can also use as a footrest. A lift-top coffee table raises to desk height and opens to a compartment that keeps magazines and chargers off the surface. One room over, a sideboard does the same job in the dining area as in every home at Wesley Kensington Apartments at Stonecrest.
A bed frame with built-in drawers holds folded clothes in the footprint the mattress already uses. At the foot of the bed, a bench opens for extra pillows and gives you somewhere to sit while you get ready. Building upward is the other option in a bedroom. Vaulted ceilings in select apartments create space for a tall bookcase, so you can use the room's height to your advantage.
At the entry, a bench with cubbies underneath gives shoes and bags one landing spot. A narrow console with cabinet doors holds mail, keys, and leashes right where you drop them. Both pieces keep the first few steps inside your apartment clear.
