Step on it
Tap into the recess under your
staircase to eke out extra ‘stepped’
storage. And if the width of your
stairs permits, utilise the wall
alongside for a matching fixture
that appears to float upwards.Decorator’s tips
n Hang a simple shelf,
wall-to-wall high above
eye-level and it becomes
a feature when used for
an anthology of books or
collectables like vintage jugs.
n Minimalist to the core?
Aim for unobtrusive storage, a
quiet backdrop for your decor
to shine. You’re best served
by built-ins colour-matched
to walls with handleless
doors and drawers.
n Plan your storage
future, especially if you’re
the type to gather and keep
possessions. Otherwise,
follow the ‘one incoming item
equals one outgoing’ rule.LIVING SPACES

Aim for combination storage. Floating cabinets with
touch-to-open doors and a shelf is a smart, fitted way of
keeping rooms clutter-free while offering the opportunity
for display. Loving the interplay between the smooth,
glossy cabinetry against the look
of classic shiplap wall cladding.

Extend your
kitchen cabinetry
into your adjacent
living areas –
the transition is
seamless, the
storage capacity
maximised! As
a wall of full-
height cabinets
can dominate,
take a ‘bite’ out
of the middle for
a workstation.Photography GAP Interiors/Julien Fernandez, GAP Interiors/Fiona Walker-Arnott62
