From the smallest jars to huge purpose-built units, storage solutions are an essential element of any interior design scheme.
With the popularity of interiors gurus such as Marie Kondo meaning we’re all looking for ways to declutter and tidy our homes – which means investment in an array of storage ideas for every room of the house.
From perfectly organised pantries to hallways free of shoes-and-coats clutter, good storage is key to creating household harmony.

But functional doesn’t mean it can’t be fabulous too; storage has increasingly become an integral aspect of stylish home design, tapping into trends rather than serving as purely utilitarian furniture pieces and accessories.
When it comes to larger storage, furniture with hidden space to keep those items you don’t need on show are increasingly popular. Think beds with drawers for blankets and towels, pouffes which double as storage boxes and even tables with lifting lids and extra space for storage.
After all, it’s much easier to keep everything in its place when there’s a place for everything. Here are some of our top storage picks.
