When summer finally arrives, the last thing you want is to feel boxed in by clutter. Summer is all about easy living - lighter layers to lounge around in, longer evenings, and – most importantly - less stress. For this, you need a home that conducive to relaxation, where everything has a place and you aren’t running around picking up this and that in a constant frenzy. That doesn’t mean an entire home overhaul, but rather a few smart switches and the odd new addition, and we can elevate your storage for a calmer and clearer space, ready for whatever the season brings.
Whether you're juggling a busy family routine or just want your space to feel more functional, here's how to make summer storage make sense.
Storage That Works and Looks Good Doing It
When storage is both practical and nice to look at, you're halfway to a tidier and more attractive space.
- Storage Ottomans
Storage ottomans have become an important staple in my household when it comes to hidden storage. These solutions are both gorgeous pieces of eye-catching home décor, and so useful for stashing away everything from your thicker winter throws to board games to guest bedding. Choose from a range of shapes, sizes, and colours across matte velvet, boucle, faux fur ribbed and more to suit your space and style.
- Storage Boxes & Cabinets
Ideal for out-of-season items, kid’s toys or quick clear-ups before guests arrive. Stackable, compact, and available in neutral tones that slot in effortlessly with your existing décor. We have a wide range of boxes suited to adult spaces and kids rooms, with compelling prints and colours to suit many spaces.
- Decorative Storage Baskets
An easy win. Use them in your hallways for shoes, in bathrooms for towels, or in kids’ rooms to keep toys contained and out from under bare feet. We’ve got styles and prints for every age and aesthetic — and they look good even when full.
Breezy Laundry Helpers: Make Wash Day Less of a Chore
Warm weather means quicker drying times - if you’ve got the right setup.
- Compact Drying Racks & Foldable Airers
Perfect for warm-weather drying, drying racks and foldable airers make sure you’re getting the most from the sunnier season. Our options are compact enough to fit in a range of smaller spaces, including radiator and collapsible options for easy storage. These save space and make the most of your space, from garden or hall to balcony. When not in use simply fold them away, easy peasy.
- Laundry Bags & Baskets
It’s a little too easy to let mountains of laundry grow during a busy week, but we can help you keep the piles at bay. Lightweight and easy to carry from room to machine, our laundry bags & baskets help you stay on top of things without the usual floor-drobe situation. Bonus: they come in chic styles you’ll actually want to leave out.
- Hanger Sets
Often, summer clothes are lighter, floatier and a little more high-maintenance. Matching hanger sets not only protect your pieces to prevent wrinkles and keep them clean, they also make your wardrobe look ten times more pulled together – ideal for sorting through a chaotic rail and stuffed drawers as many do when swapping winter items for summer staples.
Style Meets Storage with Multifunctional Furniture
If you’re after a room refresh that doesn’t feel like a full remodel, multifunctional furniture is the way to go. These pieces each feature a hard and soft construction and variations of size and drawers, giving you options no matter the space you’re dealing with.
- The Manhattan Range
Think clean lines, open styling, and a modern feel. Console tables, display shelves, and storage side tables in this range help you keep your space light and airy while still offering somewhere for keys, candles, and the odd stack of books to land. Shop the Range here.
- Brooklyn Drawer Cabinets
These soft fabric drawers are lightweight and deceptively roomy. Available in 2, 3, 4 and 6 drawer options, they’re a low-key storage that works just about anywhere. Bedrooms, living rooms, hallways — sorted. The simple, understated design and muted colours blends in so your space feels calm and cohesive.
Lighter Living Starts Here
You don’t need to overhaul your living spaces or commit to a minimalist life in order to feel more at least – you need storage that makes sense for you. From ottomans that tuck away your season essentials to foldable airers that pop up when you need them and disappear when you don’t, there are definite solutions that’ll make for a breezier bedroom, a peaceful living room, or a handy hallway.
