Storage is no longer just a big linen closet or backyard shed. Today’s clever options give you much needed space with oodles of style.
Storage Ottomans
Ottomans provide the ultimate in clever storage. With space inside or underneath to hide away your magazines, throw rugs and cushions you can declutter your living space instantly. They’re also perfect for styling – place your statement books, a drink tray and even a floral arrangement on top for a lived in luxe feel.
Custom Cabinetry
Cabinetry provides endless options when it comes to design and storage. The costs may be higher up front but long term it’s well worth the splurge. There’s a solution for nearly every room in the house – custom home entertainment walls, bedroom suites complete with drawers and shelves and even dining areas with bench seating storage can all be designed to suit both your style and your storage needs.
Glam Garages
Glamorous Garages are an ongoing trend that make a lot of sense. Gone are the days of dark and musty spaces filled with junk. Garages today are a space the whole family can utilise. Get your glam garage on the go by giving the walls and floors a good clean and a fresh coat of paint. Invest in some good task lighting and the rest is up to your individual needs. You may want to add wall shelving, bike racks or a craft or work bench. Even if you don’t park your car in the garage keep the centre area clear of ‘stuff’ to help keep the space useful and pleasing to be in.
Family Storage Zones
Storage zones are a clever way to allocate a place in one area of the home for everyone to store their day to day items such as handbags, school bags and gym bags. With some clever planning you are able to create a habit of keeping the families day-to-day bits and pieces out of site and in a safe place. You may have a hall cabinet or buffet that you can allocate each family member with a drawer or shelf. If you don’t have the furniture to spare think about adding decorative hooks in the laundry or butlers pantry to keep everyone’s items handy yet out of site.
