However much you love your home most of us would like more storage. Whether it’s somewhere to put shoes and coats, your seasonal clothes, your books, TV & audio or your collection of wine. We could all do with more storage. So, what is the solution?

Declutter

The first thing to do is declutter. This can seem like a huge task however it will have lots of benefits including less to clean, less to organise and more space. If you are struggling to tackle decluttering your home then start with just 5 minutes a day. Look to donate the clothes you never wear or try filling a bin bag as quickly as possible with things you can donate to a charity. Your clutter may well be useful to someone else.

Use unused space

Identify unused space throughout your home and take advantage of it. For example, do you have space under your stairs that is not being utilised? Whether this is currently an open or closed space this could be transformed into a storage cupboard for the family’s shoes and coats. Especially with the winter coming and we all need space for coats and shoes. Maybe there is an area in your stairwell which could be utilised as a storage/display unit. Alternatively, you may have space in your hall for a stand-alone unit. Identifying space within your home such as an alcove could be the ideal area to have a unique piece of furniture designed and fitted. Relieving you of clutter within your home.

Media units

These days most of us have several media and audio devices with lots of wires and remote controls these can be easily tidied up with bespoke media unit. This can house all your devices, wires and remote controls as well as enhancing your living room area with a beautiful piece of furniture.

Utility room

Are you making good use of the space in your utility room? Would your washing machine be better housed in a custom-made cupboard that could provide storage for your detergents? Plus, keep everything clean and tidy.  Think about what you want from your utility room, would it benefit from somewhere to put coats and shoes or dog walking attire?  Maybe a seat with underneath storage for children to take their muddy shoes off before entering the house. Whatever you are looking for there will is a solution.

Wine storage

Where do you store your wine? Do you struggle to find your favourite bottle? A custom-made wine rack is the perfect answer. A wine rack can fit into just about any space; into an alcove or standard wall in your kitchen or dining room or under the stairs. Choose from oak, walnut or painted oak to match your current furniture and make a feature of your wine collection.
