baskets provide easy access to cookware and products meaning no more scrabbling in dark, unorganised cupboards. These solutions can also help to eliminate costly waste. How often do products go past their use-by date simply because they are difficult to view and forgotten about? Corners, traditionally some of the trickiest areas to use as storage, have also seen their potential completely transformed by clever innovation. Notoriously hard to reach, they have often ended up becoming places where things are forgotten about, or dead space which simply isn’t used at all. Now, there are a wealth of transformative solutions available, including pull-out or swing-out shelves and drawers, which are making corner storage far more practical by allowing the depth of the space to be used to its full potential. The Cornerstone Maxx allows full access to cabinet contents without obstructing any adjacent cabinets, using large-area shelving that is designed to extend from the unit in a straight line.
Away from the kitchen, the space under the stairs is also having its potential as a storage asset re-evaluated. While many homes do use the area to accommodate cupboards, the space is often disorganised, with items stored haphazardly. Now, however, there are a variety of storage solutions on the market which are changing the game completely. Ranging from simple, standalone shelving units, to larger, modular systems, or even completely bespoke storage drawers which are angled to fit every inch of the space, these solutions are transforming under-stairs space into a key storage asset.
Taking care of small details can also make a huge difference to the storage potential of a home. The trend for super-organised, social media-friendly interiors is everywhere, and with it comes the demand for solutions that help homeowners to de-clutter and re-order items. Here, even simple concepts such as in-drawer and in-cupboard dividers can deliver transformative results.
Compact living is about making the most of your living environment. It’s a concept that makes perfect sense for those who live in a small space, co-habit with others or have downsized into a smaller property. However, it’s a message that also resonates with owners of larger homes. Why wouldn’t you want to make spaces less cluttered and more organised?
The furniture industry is rising to the demand and the challenge with exceptional design skill. Today’s compact living solutions are adding more life, more usability and more value to every square metre of the home.
