We’ve never let lack of space stop us from buying whatever it is we’ve had our eye on. In fact, rather than get savvier with our spending, it’s pushed us to get clever with our storage solutions.

From finding extra space in the bedroom to decluttering the bathroom, there are a myriad effective - and aesthetically pleasing - ways to make sure that your possessions are organised and in order, ready for your next addition.

But there’s more to clever storage than just making more room. It’s also about saving time - though arguably a floordrobe (aka keeping your clothes all over the floor) saves precious minutes, too - and making sure that your items are kept in good condition. Plus, it means you’re less likely to lose things and so won’t have to double up on buying again.

Investing in one of these affordable storage solutions for your home is the smartest thing you can do for future-you. Go on, make Marie Kondo proud.
