HOMES & GARDENS
Out of SIGHT
Keep the clutter under control with a place for everything and everything in its place.
LIVING ROOM
This is a heavy traffic area and the balance between homely and minimalist can be challenging. Keep floor surfaces clear, books and magazines stored neatly, and toys tidied away once the kids are in bed. Give your fireplace a touch of sophistication with a striking log basket to minimise the debris.
KITCHEN
Storing kitchenware and food items can make your kitchen unsightly. Display glasses, crockery and more decorative items on open shelving and use drawers and cupboards to house packaged food stuff. Alternatively decant dry goods into glass containers, reminiscent of a delicatessen.
BOOT ROOM
Ensure your hallway or boot room is kept mud free and expertly organised, with a shoe storage solution. Whether you choose a simple streamlined rack or a luxury welly locker with individual labels, you’ll keep your floors clean and your footwear tidy until your next outing.
BEDROOM
Make your bedroom a haven of relaxation by tidying up at the end of the day. Hang up clothes, fold up throws and stack cushions that you’ve removed from the bed. A functional yet stylish storage box or ottoman is a great asset for clearing the decks.
BATHROOM
Make busy mornings easier and evening soaks more zen-like with an efficient bathroom layout. Add wall hooks for bathrobes, or to hold clothing while you’re getting ready. A vanity unit will give you space to store toiletries, leaving shelves free for fluffy bath towels, and relaxing scented candles. URBAN FOX OCTOBER 2020 25
