TV wall storage

Tv wall storage is an absolute must, no one wants to see cords, remotes, modems and the like cluttering up the lounge room. Go big with a full wall storage system like the image above or for an effective but more budget friendly option choose a low line long wall mounted storage cabinet with floating shelving above. And an extra tip, if you can mount your tv on the wall do it, it makes everything feel more spacious.

Entrance storage

It’s the ultimate dumping ground for shoes, coats, bags and keys, so why not create some clever storage so keep that every day life stuff in order. Hooks on the wall are a great way to keep items of clothing and organised and at arms reach. Add a seat for putting on shoes and a hidden drawer for all the extra shoes!

Mini Butler’s Pantry

Because not all of us have the space for a butler’s pantry but we like the convenience and look of having our appliances hidden away - the mini butlers pantry is the solution. Housed in a full height kitchen cupboard it has all the power points and shelves you desire for keeping everything plugged in and at your finger tips.

Built in desk

A built in dedicated desk space is the perfect solution for organising life admin. A built in desk works in a kitchen nook, a corner, in a bedroom, built into a wardrobe or even a cupboard. Knowing where every bill, school form and other memo’s are is a wonderful way keep organised.
