“Storage is a crucial part of any bedroom design”
When it comes to what is often the smallest room in the house – the bathroom – any storage needs to work twice as hard. Look for mirrors with cabinets fitted behind, sinks with drawers or cupboards underneath, and invest in attractive baskets and tubs to keep toiletries out of sight. “As a rule, we have less bathroom space now than we did a decade ago. However, we also have more bathroom products,” says Rachel Martin, C P Hart’s merchandising director. “Revealing as much floor as possible gives the idea of a larger room, so wall-mounted storage has become increasingly popular. Incorporating storage beneath a wall- hung basin is also a good way to utilise bathroom space.” With a global approach to homewares and a pretty aesthetic, Maisons du Monde offers a multitude of furniture that can be used to hide away our essentials: “The trick is to opt for functional yet stylish pieces,” is the advice. “With a footstool that doubles as storage, a dining table that
folds into a cabinet, or a coffee table with a swivel tray, you can win back some space without compromising on style! You can then add warmth to the atmosphere with the right soft furnishings, from cushions to layered throws and rugs.” Anyone who has ever stood on a piece of Lego will know that, most of all, it is children’s clutter that can have a mind of its own. Invest in plenty of toy boxes, box shelving and felt tubs to hide away those pesky strewn dolls, bricks and games at the end of the day. String’s modular, flexible storage system, meanwhile, can be customised to suit different spaces and budgets, and has a design that can change as a child grows. Its contemporary, industrial look is also perfect for a teenager’s room. “Storage for children should bring a sense of fun and playfulness,” says Lucinda Croft, creative director at Dragons of Walton Street. “Our wardrobes, shelves, drawers and toy boxes can be personalised with lovely artwork that can be refreshed and updated as the child grows.”
