If you need help in the home, look no further than John Lewis’ inspiration and advice on how to maximise your space.
From transforming your hallway, converting your spare room, organising the kitchen and sneaking in an aesthetic pleasing piece of storage in the bathroom, John Lewis offers a range of abode altering tips that open up square feet you never knew you had as well as manage the chaos.
Spare Room
A room most commonly reserved for storage, suitcases and the laundry, the spare room can actually be transformed into an efficient and usable space. All you need is a sofa bed, desk and complimentary accessories to create the home office and guest bedroom you’ve always dreamed of. Complete with a TV and it also doubles up as the “man cave” for those evenings when you’re fighting over the remote when the footy is on.
Hallway
Shoes, keys, bags, coats and bikes usually make up the décor of an entryway to ensure all clutter is concealed, invest in some clever storage. Pegs and coat stands take care of the kids leaving their outwerwear on the floor, while a console table is a great piece of furniture for holding knick-knacks. Hang a large mirror to create a larger space in narrow hallways.
Kitchen
They say a clean home is a happy home so ensure your kitchen features all the storage you could possibly need so that you don’t feel cluttered by utensils and cookware. Pick a colour theme and a make a statement for a collected and coordinated way to organise your clutter.
Bathroom
There’s no denying us ladies can accumulate a lot of clutter in the bathroom. Why have one shower gel when you can have three in different scents to suit your mood? Keep this clutter to a minimum and invest in baskets and fill with your toiletries so that your shower gels aren’t all on display for your guests to peruse and add corner shelving or shallow glass shelves to store face towels and your everyday toiletries. A ladder style shelf is a great space saving idea which will help you organise but also display your toiletries neatly.
