Y


es, you can live
your life in a
home clear of
clutter while retaining
and enjoying your
precious possessions. No
need to toss everything
out – organisation is
key, with furniture, racks
and containers coming
to the rescue. Whether
you’re a bower bird who
loves to collect and show
off OODs (objects of
desire), you have books
to rival a library, need to
house craft materials and
tools or are overflowing
with paperwork, there’s
a stylish, practical
solution for all.

FOR SHOPPING DETAILS,
SEE STOCKISTS PAGE


Go with the grain
Store and decorate with
assorted wicker baskets. They
introduce welcome texture to
rooms and successfully conceal
the clutter of odds and ends in
the most contained way. Not
‘officey’ in the slightest, they
sit stylishly beside vessels,
bowls and other ephemera.
Here, the rusticity of the timber
shelving is enhanced by the
otherwise all-white bookcase.

Box it beautiful
When your living area
doubles as your work or hobby
room, bookcases, attractive
containers and boxes come
into their own. For a beautifully
integrated scheme, opt for
variety and choose containers
to colour-coordinate with the
rest of the room. Oh, and
label, label, label as out of
sight can lead to out of mind!
