Invest in the Best
To instantly transform your family home, investing in the correct, storage-savvy pieces is key. By purchasing items that deliver on function, style and storage, you are ensuring that every piece you introduce into your home gives you everything you need to live well, and stylishly!
Elegant, minimal and chic, the Byron Bookcase from 1825 Interiors is crafted from gorgeous reclaimed wood materials and is finished with a bright, white wash stain for an added touch of charm. The stacked shelves are ideal for showcasing books, but you can also create your own design focal points by placing a few striking sculptures, photographs, florals, or trinkets across the piece. Added close-door shelving at the base of the silhouette provides another powerful level of storage, perfect for tucking away messy electrical cords, homework apparatus or paperwork that you would rather not see during your day-to-day. The sleek composition means that you can place the Byron Bookcase in the corner or showcase it as a statement piece against a wall in your home office, living room, dining room or bedroom. When it comes to storage powerhouses, the bookcase will always come out on top! As exemplified below, the elevated neutral tone and earthy finish in the piece pair seamlessly with classic homewares and stylish flourishes, so you can be sure that your investment will see you through countless comfortable moments to come.
In the living room, you can take the opportunity to maximise every element of your furniture by curating items that are equal parts smart and storage-driven. Where timeless elegance meets modern design, the Finland Large TV Unit arrives in a soft, natural finish with sleek cupboards that are finished with eye-catching half-moon handles. This simple yet slick construction seamlessly blends with all design aesthetics, and offers ample opportunities for stashing away remote controls, books, magazines and electrical wires. Pair the pale wash finish with a textural rug, just make sure it leaves plenty of negative space on your floor plan for an airy, open feel across the room.

To really amp up the storage factor of your floor plan, look to smaller pieces of furniture and consider how you can increase their functionality. The Tuscan Small Corner TV Unit is a compact piece that provides plenty of storage with added cupboards and a feed point for a tech display. This is an amazing addition if you like to have an entertainment system set up in the bedroom, home office or your tech rooms.
Turn the Hallways into a Hero
If you're asking yourself, “How to add storage to a small space?”, then you might want to turn your attention towards the lesser-considered areas of your home. The hallway or entryway holds so much potential when it comes to introducing subtle yet impactful storage into your space. This will help to save on space whilst also increasing the functionality of one of the busiest areas of the family home. Search for smart additions like shoe racks, hooks and small, shallow bowls that can catch keys, loose change or any other everyday essentials to turn your hallway into a hero!
Swish Up Your Surfaces
From countertops to desktops, your surface space is a prized point of practicality in your small home. The key to making them sing is strategy, consider what you store out for display against what can be tidied away in a cupboard, display unit or drawer. Put bulky items away in a dedicated storage basket or at the base of a cupboard to introduce a cleaner, more relaxed look. Alternately, invest in a few artisanal storage baskets like our Small Beaded Basket to add a pop of personality to your space, while giving you extra storage points for anything from shoes to blankets, wires to books.
