Good storage solutions are the key to a smooth-running home and a stress-free existence. They can even transform your life, making the difference between a frustrating mess and an efficient, yet relaxing, living space. Smart Storage is the ultimate guide to clearing the clutter out of your life and ensuring that order is easy to maintain. It is packed with brilliant solutions for every room in the home, from elegant, discreet built-in cupboards for clothes to open shelves stacked with colorful towels, books, or glassware and china, plus hundreds of versatile baskets, bags and boxes for keeping everything from shoes to fresh vegetables. Joanna Copestick and Meryl Lloyd inspire you to take a fresh look at the space around you, including practical advice on how to make the most of handy alcoves, window recesses and under-stairs areas. With over 200 stunning photographs of homes where storage has been tackled and solved in exemplary and innovative ways, this book shows how successful storage can revolutionize your lifestyle and be one of the most inventive factors of home planning.
Smart Storage takes the place of an expensive expert on space organization and provides straightforward ideas to simplify your life. With photographs by Andrew Wood, this fresh look at paring down of possessions, re-use of space, and detailed types of storage units is both inspirational and motivational, and helpful for any home, from apartment to mansion and everything in between.
