Got a small home? Nowhere to store all your possessions? Then hide them in plain sight.
Then hide them in plain sight.
For a start, why not combine display with storage. Custom-built shelving in alcoves, nooks and even around doors can create an interesting feature to display pretty cookware, that gorgeous formal dinner set or glassware.
Retro homewares combine practicality with a look too good to hide away.
When it comes to small living room storage, it's worth considering getting a carpenter to make a built-in unit with adjustable shelves that will maximise the dimensions of the room and create storage.
A poky kitchen can still have some flair by displaying a collection of decorative but useful objects such as pots, cups, jars and bowls. Choose items with a similar pattern, colour or shape.
Display an attractive collection of personal objects that have a similar theme on a mantelpiece or shelf.
Nowhere to store the ironing board, brooms and buckets in the laundry?
Don't.
Similar-coloured containers can be stored on the window sill or a shelf. Put a pretty cover on the ironing board and stick to a similar colour theme for brooms, buckets and mops.
