Free up some living space with John Lewis

Monday, 31 January 2011 3:56 PM

Give yourself more room this January with the new range of storage solutions from John Lewis, which can help you keep the hallway, bedroom and living room tidier and free from unnecessary clutter.

The hallway is the first impression people get of your home, so it’s important to make it a good one. Use the space under the stairs to store odds and ends with the new Henry Sideboard, which is made from solid oak.

As the weather warms, you’ll want to start packing away your winter clothes in your bedroom. One of the most efficient ways to use space is by using vacuum store bags, which can reduce winter clothes to a quarter of their original bulk.

Reducing clutter in the living room is essential for promoting a relaxed atmosphere, especially if you have a small apartment. Buying a coffee table with built-in drawers can be a great way to do this, with John Lewis offering several tables and sideboards in the Stresa collection.

Getting started on spring cleaning can be a difficult step, but by taking a room-by-room approach, you can be reaping the rewards of a tidier, more spacious home before you know it.
