Storage to declutter your home

The new year is upon us, and with it a sense of renewal – a need to bring order to our lives and living spaces once again.

As the Christmas decorations are safely packed away for another year, the pantos really are behind us, schooldays return and the nine-to-five begins again, thoughts turn to our living spaces.

Decluttering, there is no doubt, is good for the soul. Holloways Interior Designer Annie Blackledge picks her favourite pieces to help you restore order to every room. 

1. Chawton

The Chawton collection of cabinetry is one of the most versatile furniture systems. Build a bespoke storage system with sideboards, chests of drawers, glazed cabinets, bookcases and wine racks, and have them painted in one of 28 beautiful Neptune shades to perfectly suit your room.

You can see all individual pieces in our showrooms. Built to last, you can move and add to it when the mood takes you.

2. Eloise

An ottoman hides a multitude of sins – summer duvets, spare sheets, extra pillows. With dozens of fabrics to choose from, the Eloise is perfectly practical at the end of a bed, fabulous as a footstool in the sitting room and a window seat for all that quiet new year, new you contemplation.

3. Henley

Everyone loves a TV night on the sofa – but when you're not watching the latest drama, it's good to tuck away the technology. The Henley family of entertainment cabinets let you do just that. From this low base unit with plenty of cupboards and drawers to a full-on, close the doors and hide the screen version, they're hugely practical and very handsome to boot.

4. Chichester

By day, an organised home office. By night, an elegant piece of living or dining furniture. If you're planning to do more working from home this year, or your household admin needs a shake-up, the Chichester Workstation is a great solution. With plenty of storage for all the paperwork, space for your laptop or PC and lots of cupboard space for books and journals, choose from dozens of custom paint finishes.
