Room For More: Maximizing Storage in Your Redwood Apartment Home 

A place for everything and everything in its place can be a tough motto for renters to live by. Storage is a common pain point among apartment dwellers, particularly those downsizing from single-family homes. The issue often forces residents to make difficult decisions about what to keep or whether to seek off-site storage options. Redwood recognizes that our residents value storage space, and we intentionally design our apartment homes to offer an array of options. Let’s take a quick tour through a Redwood apartment, dive into all its storage capabilities and discuss how to best maximize your space. 

In the kitchen

Redwood apartment homes regularly offer nine or ten generously sized wall and base kitchen cabinets. Featuring all-wood construction with dovetail joints, the cabinetry in a Redwood apartment is made of only quality materials – no particle board, glue, or staples – and each cabinet is built-to-order in the USA by trained professionals. 

Redwood kitchens also include a full-size pantry, which is unique among apartments and ranges from 20 to 25 square feet. The pantry includes wire shelving, so everyday essentials like boxed goods, canned foods and small appliances can be easily organized.  

In the bedrooms 

Every Redwood apartment includes two bedrooms with ample closet space throughout. In our primary bedrooms, you’ll find the largest closets with a mix of shelving options, and our second bedrooms include a generous amount of wire shelving. These large closets allow residents to neatly store their clothing, shoes and accessories. Roomy bedrooms also can accommodate dressers, armoires and nightstands for overflow storage. 

In the bathrooms + laundry spaces

Each bathroom in a Redwood apartment is equipped with multiple cabinets. Some offer additional shelving. Laundry spaces also include cabinetry. The combined bathroom and laundry storage options help ensure that cleaning supplies, linens and personal items can be tucked away but are still easily accessible.  

Throughout the living areas

Redwood apartment homes range in size from approximately 1,294 to 1,709 square feet. The spacious, open-concept floor plans allow plenty of room for furniture pieces like sideboards, buffets, TV stands/media consoles, desks and bookcases, all of which provide valuable storage capabilities.  

In the garage

Unlike many apartment communities, Redwood offers residents attached garages, which provide not only covered parking but also additional storage. Residents can use this space for: 

• Seasonal decorations 
• Outdoor equipment and sports gear
• Tools and home maintenance supplies
• Bikes, kayaks and other recreational items

For those needing even more storage, adding shelves, storage cabinets or overhead racks can help maximize garage space. 

On your personal patio

Personal patios can be used for both relaxation and functional storage. Weatherproof storage benches or deck boxes can provide a discreet place to keep gardening tools, planters, outdoor furniture cushions or other items.

Even with ample storage, a little organization can go a long way. Here are a few tips to make the most of your space: 

• Go vertical – Add shelving where possible 
• Invest in storage bins – Clear tubs and containers make it easy to find items in pantries, closets and garages 
• Utilize furniture with storage – Consider ottomans or beds with built-in storage
