If you frequently ask yourself, ‘How do I organise my home?’, then this is for you!
Between the kids’ toys, the growing pile of paperwork, the ‘stuff’ that sits atop the coffee table, and the endless amount of tech gadgets we definitely need, clutter can quickly take over any space.
Staying organised can feel like an Olympic event – requiring dedication, stamina and motivation. But… if you want solutions that make orderliness a bit more ordinary, then clever, built-in storage solutions might just be the secret weapon you need.
Custom-designed, fitted furniture maximises every inch of your space, transforming it into a functional, stylish sanctuary. Here’s how:
1. Understairs Storage
That often-forgotten space under the stairs doesn’t have to be an unattractive vacuum and ironing board tangle. With a little creativity, it can become a highly practical storage area. Think built-in cupboards, drawers, or shelves that’ll hide everything from shoes and coats to those random items you don’t quite know what to do with. Transforming this awkward space can make a world of difference in keeping the rest of your home clutter-free.
2. Multi-Functional Storage
If space is limited, “multi-tasker” furniture is ideal. Custom-built furniture that doubles as storage is the key to maximising space. A coffee table with hidden compartments can neatly tuck away remote controls, magazines, or the inevitable collection of pens and receipts that we all possess. Similarly, benches with built-in storage make for a perfect entryway solution—storing shoes, bags, and coats (or offering a spot to sit when waiting for someone who’s “almost ready”).
3. Wall-Mounted Shelves and Cabinets
When in doubt, go up. Wall-mounted shelves and cabinets are a brilliant way to use vertical space and keep your floor areas clear. Fitted shelves can be designed to store everything from books to ornaments, whilst closed cabinets hide the clutter that always seems to accumulate, keeping things neat and stylish. Ideal for living rooms or bathrooms—because subscription services now mean we have to store 48 toilet rolls at a time (we see you, Who Gives a Crap customers)!
4. Built-In Wardrobes
Wardrobes tend to become the black hole of our bedrooms. But with bespoke, fitted wardrobes, you can reclaim your space and your sanity. Custom designs that feature pull-out drawers, built-in organisers for shoes, and adjustable shelves can help everything make sense. You can even design compartments for smaller items like scarves or jewellery. Sliding doors are also a great option if you want to save space (or just prefer the aesthetic).
5. Eaves Storage
Sometimes, the best storage solutions are the ones that make use of unusable space. Eaves storage is ideal for stashing away all those things you don’t need to access every day. You’ll be able to store everything from seasonal decorations to “miscellaneous” items you don’t want to make a decision on just yet. The beauty of eaves storage is that it keeps your space looking pristine.
6. Media Units
Media units offer an all-in-one solution for living rooms or media rooms – whether you’re a movie buff, gamer, or you just like to unwind with a Netflix series. They offer tonnes of storage and a solution for hiding wires and unsightly gadgets. An in-built electric fire – which creates a fabulous centrepiece, besides the TV screen – offers a super-impressive addition that can be incorporated into a media unit.
7. Home Office Storage
Working from home can be a blessing, but also a bit of a nightmare when your home office turns into a paper jungle. Custom-built storage in your home office can be a game-changer. Desks with built-in drawers, wall-mounted shelving, and filing cabinets designed to suit your workflow, will keep your workspace clear and tidy. No more piles of paperwork or tangled cables—just a neatly organised zone where you can have, or at least give the impression of having, everything under control.
8. Walk-In Wardrobes
If your home has the room, a walk-in wardrobe is a dreamy solution. A walk-in wardrobe offers supreme amounts of storage and can be built to maximise every inch of space. Incorporating clever features such as jewellery trays, shoe racks or bespoke rotating displays will ensure everything has a place and will (possibly) have you jumping out of bed each morning, excited to get ready for the day!
