seem a problem, but look at these possibilities. Often families eat in the kitchen and rarely use the dining room. Try hanging a fold­ ing table top to the wall and keep a trestle table stacked In a nearby cup-

room with mobile screens to give privacy for children


will often release a bed­ room for use as a separate playroom/llbrary/music room/TV'room or their own in return. In a home with a semi


basement ground floor, reversing the. normal arrangement so that a bed- • ■ room is downstairs vylth the sitting room upstairs: makes good sense, partic­ ularly if there Is also a good view.


' Convenient storage, or


rather the lack of it, is a problem In many homes. A boarded loft space is perfect for long-term stor­ age, but even with a ladder Is not convenient for eveiy-'. day access. In a hall of under a wide staircase and landing, books can;be stacked. Built-In cup­ boards, floor to celling, offer more storage in bed­ rooms, sitting room, din­ ing room, kitchen, bath­ room, over and under the


stairs. i


A tidy, uncluttered home looks more'harmonious and spacious. So having done everything you can to create more storage, use subterfuge to make your home appear more spacious! Decorate in pastel colours/

to enjoy it more and make It work better for you and remember to take stock eveiy year or so,” says Mr Chaplin. “As se s s whether your


needs have changed and whether your home needs to reflect this. It’s all part of making yours a better home.” -
