Extract From Victoria Times Colonist Article...
Looking for extra places to put things? Your home has all sorts of hidden storage space.
Behind your drywall and panelling lie countless hidden spaces nestled between the studs. While some are filled with pipes, wiring, and sheet metal duct work, others are wide open and ready to be put to use for such things as a recessed medicine cabinet in a bathroom.
The best time to note which are which is when a home or new room is under construction. Take photos or make diagrams of empty spaces that you can open up and later develop into various types of storage.
However, this works only for inside walls, since outer walls use this inner space for insulation. If your rooms are already completed and the walls are finished, it's still not too late. It just takes a bit more investigation to determine which areas are storage-ready.
