With an element of creativity, even the smallest home can accommodate sufficient storage solutions to ensure a calm, ordered and tidy space. Utilising the areas underneath bedsteads and empty alcoves, as seen in these stylish ideas here, cleverly makes use of every spare inch.
Dual-purpose design
With built-in drawers for table linens, crockery and other kitchenalia, this custom-made bench combines comfortable seating with practical storage – perfect for a kitchen diner.
Simple shelving
Floating shelves or custom-cut pieces of wood, painted in the same tone as the wall and secured into an alcove makes a simple shelving unit. Before fitting the shelves, choose a height to suit the items you wish to display, making sure there is enough space in-between.
Under-bed hideaway
A built-in child’s bed, raised off the floor creates room for smart drawers underneath to keep toys and clothes out of sight.
Decorative idea
Wall-mounted units backed with wallpaper and hung in an eye-catching arrangement adds interest in a hallway or bedroom. Small-scale wallpaper patterns coordinated by colour work best.
