9 Savvy STORAGE IDEAS

Our top tricks and tips to help clear up your clutter and stash it out of sight

1 Hide or display

Double your living room storage with a coffee table that has built-in drawers and shelves. Keep unsightly clutter tidied away, but display prettier items on the surface or on a shelf underneath.

2 Transform an alcove

Chunky shelves and some lovely baskets is all it takes to create a home for linens and towels. Fix the bottom shelf high enough to fit laundry baskets beneath, or stash a set of steps for reaching the top shelf.

3 Add bed-end storage

Boost bedroom storage with a bank of low cabinets at the end of the bed – great in a study-com bedroom for books and paperwork. Make sure it roughly matches the width of the bed and color of the headboard for a cohesive look.
