Decluttering Storage Solutions

A cluttered home can quickly start to feel difficult to manage, especially when everyday items do not have a tidy place to go. Useful decluttering storage solutions can make it easier to organise your belongings and use the space around your home more effectively.

The best approach will depend on where your clutter tends to build up and what you need to store. Below, we’ll look at some of the different ways to organise bedrooms, living spaces and awkward areas, with practical ideas for creating storage that is easy to use and maintain.

Our Top Tips On Decluttering Your Space

Hidden Storage Furniture

Furniture with built-in storage gives everyday items somewhere to go without taking up much-needed floor space. Ottomans, coffee tables and TV units with hidden compartments can keep things you regularly use close to hand while leaving surfaces and living areas tidier. 

Fitted Wardrobes

Fitted wardrobes can be designed around the shape and dimensions of your room, making practical use of the space available. Inside, the layout can be tailored with a mix of hanging space, shelves, drawers and other storage to suit what you need to store, giving clothing and belongings a dedicated place.

Utilise Alcoves

Alcoves can easily become wasted space, but with the right storage they can be turned into useful areas for clothes, books or other belongings. Options such as fitted cupboards and shelving can turn an alcove into practical storage, while fitted wardrobes for awkward spaces can work around unusual dimensions or other fixed features. 

Floor-To-Ceiling Storage

Using the full height of a room can give you extra storage without increasing its footprint. Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes also put the area above standard furniture to work, providing useful room for belongings you do not need to access every day while keeping more frequently used items within easier reach.

Built-In Media Walls

A built-in media wall can bring your TV, cupboards and shelving together in one organised area, giving electronics, cables and everyday items a clear place to go. There are also media walls with fireplaces and Shaker media wall units if you want the storage to become a more prominent part of the room’s design.

Open And Closed Storage

Combining open shelving with closed cupboards or drawers gives you a balance between display and practical storage. Shelves can be used for books, décor and other items you want to keep visible, while closed storage gives you somewhere to put everyday belongings that would otherwise make the room feel cluttered.

Baskets And Storage Boxes

Baskets, boxes and containers are useful for grouping smaller items together so they are easier to find and less likely to create clutter across shelves, drawers or surfaces. Choosing matching or decorative storage can also keep everything looking more consistent, particularly in areas where the containers will stay on display.

Feature Bookcases

A bookcase can provide useful storage while also becoming a feature in its own right. Mixing books with a smaller number of decorative items, such as framed photos, plants or ornaments, can keep the shelves looking considered rather than overcrowded while still giving everything a clear place.

Over-The-Door Storage

The space behind or above a door can be useful in smaller rooms where storage is limited. Over-the-door organisers, hooks or shelving can provide extra room for shoes, accessories, cleaning supplies or bathroom essentials while keeping the floor clear. 

Practical Bedside Tables

Bedside tables with drawers or cupboards can keep everyday essentials close by without leaving them out on display. Choosing a size and style that suits the space will give you useful storage without making the room feel overcrowded, particularly in smaller bedrooms where floor space is limited.

Floating Shelves

Floating shelves make use of wall space, so they can add storage where there is little room for extra furniture. They are useful for books, plants and decorative pieces, while leaving some empty space between items can keep the display feeling considered rather than crowded or overly busy.

Seating With Storage

Benches and window seats with built-in storage give you somewhere to sit while also creating extra space for items you want to keep out of sight. This can be especially useful in smaller rooms, where combining seating and storage in one piece of furniture can free up space elsewhere.
