Efficient Storage Solutions Needed for Shrinking Floor Plans

Cincinnati, Ohio (July 26, 2007) Storage needs are increasing because homes are decreasing in size for the first time in three years says the most recent Design Trends Survey published by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). According to the survey, many households are finding that improved use of existing space in their homes reduces the need for more square footage.
