A neat built-in seat or banquette

provides storage and extra seating without

crowding a small space with lots of chairs.

IDEAS

ata glance

■ Create a wall of

freestanding storage with

inexpensive flat-pack units.

Fill with white boxes and

folders and accessories

in two or three accent

colours, mixing cool

and warm hues.

■Stash little-used items

in boxes that blend with

your walls above eye level.

■Choose a practical

coffee table with shelf

and/or drawers so the top

is easy to keep clear.

■Team Scandi-style

print wallpaper with

white and/or pale timber

furniture. The feel is lively,

light-hearted and fun.

■Graphic wallpaper

a step too far? Stick

with paint for walls and

introduce pattern by way

of a rug and cushions

in different but colour-

coordinated designs.

■Banish entranceway

mess with easy storage

solutions. Think slim-line

shoe units, peg rails,

shelves and cubby-hole

units for letters/bills,

keys and personal effects.

■Deep drawersin built-

in banquettes take care

of kitchenware overflow.

■Think bigdecorative

b skets for storing

spare cushions

and table linens.

These are the

best for a quick

idy when friends

drop in!
