Have you tried selling your unwanted belongings and donating everything that doesn’t spark joy but are still having trouble keeping your home clutter-free? Lack of storage space, or simply not having it in the necessary places, is one of the main reasons for clutter in a home.

Cluttered homes tend to put potential buyers off, so if you are considering putting your property on the market or simply want to get your home ready for the flood of visitors that the festive season brings, try some of these nifty storage solutions to turn your home from a disorganised mess to a clutter free haven. 

Hallway
As the main entryway into your home, it is easy for discarded coats, bags, and shoes to quickly build up. Consider investing in storage solutions so that there are easily accessible places to put these things away as soon as you enter your home. If you are worried about floor space, there are lots of wall-mounted shoe storage solutions available. If you have an overflowing shoe rack, consider storing out of season shoes somewhere else until they are needed again. A few well placed hooks on the wall can be perfect for keeping coats and scarves safely stored off the floor, and a shelf mounted directly above them is perfect for storing accessories such as hats, gloves, and sunglasses.

Understairs
Is the space under your stairs underused? Shelves and hooks can be used to turn that area into the perfect space to store anything from bikes to books and cleaning products to coats.

Vertical Space
If floor space is limited in your home, consider using the vertical space to store your belongings. Wall mounted cabinets and shelves are ideal for keeping things off the floor, which can make a huge difference to how the space feels. Alcoves and recesses are perfect for popping small shelves in without any encroachment on your space.

Ceiling
Don’t be afraid to hang storage from your ceiling. Hanging mesh storage baskets are ideal for keeping your little ones’ cuddly toys within reach but safely contained. Ceiling mounted pan racks provide the perfect place to keep your pots and pans off of the side when cupboard space is limited in the kitchen.

Bedroom
Underbed storage boxes are ideal for packing away out of season clothes and bedding. Storage boxes that match your decor are ideal for utilising the normally wasted space on top of your wardrobe.

Attic
This is the perfect space to store belongings that you don’t use all the time. You need to be careful to ensure that it is both well insulated and well ventilated to ensure that your belongings are protected from extreme temperatures and high levels of humidity.
