When my husband and I bought our first home in 2020, we were very naive. Our budget didn’t allow for a huge house, but we were so drawn to the character and cosiness of the small Victorian terrace that the lack of built-in storage didn’t even cross our minds. But as you can imagine, it didn’t take us long to realise that a small home + a lack of storage = clutter everywhere.
Of course, we considered using various decluttering methods to get rid of the visible clutter that wouldn’t fit in the small built-in cupboards, but the reality was that we needed to keep many of those items. Most were practical things we used regularly, so we had to find a way to store and organise them to keep the house tidy while still keeping them readily available.
