Top shelves
If you’re short of storage, those hard-to-reach spaces, such as the tops of shelves, will need reappraising. “There are always opportunities to maximise the space you have,” says interior designer Sarah Brown. Think of the unused space above a wardrobe: the instinct might be to dump suitcases or ugly plastic storage boxes there. “Instead, consider using pretty rattan baskets,” Brown says. “Pentreath & Hall sells a lovely collection of willow and seagrass baskets which could happily house smaller items that you don’t need to hand all year round. Or Toast’s Hogla baskets are a more affordable option.”
