Say goodbye to storage blues with these easy solutions.

“Keep things where you use them – the tea next to the kettle, the dog’s leash on a hook by the door,” advises stylist Marian van Wyk.

The smaller our homes become, the smarter we have to work with the available space. Multifunctional furniture can help stretch precious centimeters.

Built-in seats with storage space make a world of difference. Also look out for ottomans or coffee tables with built-in storage space. Multifunctional side tables that can also be used as seating, are another clever space-saver.
