Storage space is often at a premium in our homes, which can quickly lead to clutter. Not only does this get in the way of your décor, but it can even harm your mental health.
A survey from Ready Steady Store revealed that over 80% of Millennial and Gen Z respondents need more space. While there may be a lack of room, these people might not be maximising their property's potential. Often, there are forgotten areas that could be the perfect place to put your possessions.
If you need hidden home storage solutions for small spaces, our guide is filled with ingenious ideas to consider.
It's easy to overlook areas above eye level, but these are great for enhancing decoration and adding storage for lesser-used items. This can include books, plants and ornaments.
The kitchen is a room where this design idea works to your advantage. Cupboards and countertops can easily become cluttered, but adding high shelving for rarely used appliances or hooks for pots and pans can free up your meal preparation space.
In the bedroom, take advantage of the area above your bed. Fitted cupboards let you utilise every inch and are perfect for storing blankets, bedding or pillows.
While corner cupboards may seem brilliant, they can sometimes be awkward to access. This can deter you from utilising them, but with a few modifications you can make them more functional. Install special drawers or shelves that pull out when you open the door to make everyday objects much more accessible.
Utilising gaps beneath your stairs can be a headache, as they tend to be awkwardly shaped. However, bespoke solutions can give the area a new lease of life, making it a functional place for shoes, coats and other outdoor attire.
Hammonds' understairs storage can be an ideal choice for this. Our experts will create a tailormade design, with rails, hooks, racks and other features you want.
Walls are often seen as decorative spaces, so it's only natural that you focus on adding colour, artwork or family photos to them. However, walls can double up as clever home storage spots.
Your hallway is a great space for this. Hooks are a simple solution for hanging coats, bags, umbrellas and other items you may need when leaving the house.
Your child's bedroom is another place to utilise the walls. Hanging baskets are fantastic for storing soft toys and can be easily accessible for your little one when fitted low. Alternatively, consider floating shelves so you can put their favourite books on them to add both functionality and character.
Furniture can take up most of the floor space in your home, so using it for more than just comfort is vital. Opting for an ottoman bed is a great way to incorporate this idea. They offer easy access and extra room for bedroom items like blankets, clothing and slippers.
Openable footstools and coffee tables with concealed drawers are clever options for living rooms. These are ideal for storing electronic devices and less aesthetic objects to ensure they don't hinder your décor.
