Admittedly, this is also a form of storage, but nice, upgraded storage. Instead of tossing extra sweaters and seasonal footwear in random paper bags and stuffing them in a nondescript corner of your attic, install tiered clothing rods, shelves, cabinets, and a mirror, and you’ve got a functional walk-in closet. If the attic isn’t close enough to your bedroom to access quickly, use it to store clothes that aren’t the right size (but may be again soon), out-of-season shoes and coats, even sheets and towels that may not fit in your linen closet.
