the details
Now that you’ve decided on the big-picture feature elements, it’s time to sort out the best ways to use your newly designed nooks and crannies within those storage spots.
1hole in one We love the pegboard appeal of this storage wall in a project designed by Heartly (heartly. com.au). Builder Ben Thomas (benthomasbuilder.com.au) was tasked with creating this flexible solution that can store bikes, schoolbags and shoes. The best bit though? The oak pegs and shelves can be easily repositioned for more options.
2timeless quality If there was one storage unit to add to our list of favourite things à la Oprah, it would be the String system (string.se). Chosen for a Pipkorn & Kilpatrick project (pipkornkilpatrick.com.au), this flexible modular form can be customised to suit any space with different shelf heights, units, desks and magazine shelves available.
3wardrobe wonder The walk-in wardrobe of your dreams is possible. Having the luxury of this space means you’re obligated to make the most of it and the best approach is a variety of hanging storage, drawers, racks and shelves. This IKEA system (ikea.com.au) is a great option as it’s height adjustable so every centimetre is covered.
4behind the scenes A space-smart spot for extra storage is behind the door. Caddies, such as this one from Howards Storage World (hsw.com.au), keep household staples on hand.
5 shelf life Carving a wall niche for open shelving adds a distinctive style element to a cooking zone, like this example by One Girl Interiors (onegirlinteriors.com.au).
