A place for everything and everything in its place – the saying that seems to haunt every household. We can all appreciate a calm and clutter free space but in reality, it’s much harder to achieve than it sounds! Storage as you know it is probably quite dull and not an aspect of your home you spend much time thinking about making exciting or even aesthetically pleasing but that could be where you’re going wrong. Storage doesn’t mean cramming every unsightly thing into a drawer, you can get creative with storage and turn it into something clever, stylish and practical.

Dining Kitchen

Finding enough space for all your kitchen and dining needs in one open plan room can be a serious storage headache but with a couple of thoughtfully chosen pieces, you can transform a room into a more functional and enjoyable space. The Skovby SM101 Multi-Function Table pictured above enables you to save space whilst creating storage space at the same time - genius. The dining table has two lift up leaves and the middle compartment conceals a large drawer with two wire shelves and a deep storage compartment that has a removable shelf. The gas lift mechanism makes it so easy to operate that you could simply fold out the table at meal times, leaving your space feeling much more open the rest of the time!

 

Living Room

As boring as storage initially sounds, you can spice it up with your personal style and turn storage solutions into striking features. The Alf Ferrara Living and Dining 4 Door Sideboard makes a statement in itself but you can make it your own by displaying your favourite things on the wide surface area and hiding away the less ornamental items in the extensive cupboard space.

 

Bedroom

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, not a dumping ground for things with no home. A pretty dressing table and a dainty chest of drawers serve their purpose, but they aren’t a practical solution for many of the bulkier items we have around our homes. An ottoman bed base allows you to hide away things like spare bedding or unseasonal clothes and it doesn’t require extra floor space like a blanket box or another chest of drawers would.

The Tempur Beds Ottoman has a simple, elegant design that doesn’t give anything away about the vast amount of storage space. To suit it to your décor, you can choose the style of headboard and pick your fabric covering.
