CLEVER STORAGE

Take inspiration from Tuomas and Anna’s minimalist home and find a smart way to hide away clutter

BUILT-IN BOOKCASES

If you’re having new walls erected, take the opportunity to incorporate space-saving niche shelves sunk into them. This will negate the need for more furniture and keep the space feeling uncluttered.

UNDERSTAIRS SPACE

For most this area is a dumping ground, but with built-in cabinetry, it could be used as a pantry, a spot for the washing machine, a bar or even a home office.

MAKE IT MULTIFUNCTIONAL

Ottoman beds, window seats and coffee tables with sliding tops can all double up as extra storage spots.

BUDGET SHELVING

Utilitarian metal racking systems, normally used in a garage or workshop, can look stylish in an industrial-look scheme. Alternatively try Ikea’s Vittsjo shelf unit, which you can personalise with spray paint and adhesive vinyl.
