This essential part of the planning process will help you decide which kind of storage solutions can be built that will best suit your needs. Splash out on baskets, boxes and shelves throughout the house; practical and decorative, these are ideal ways to display favourite objects and keep odds and ends tidy

Unless, that is, it provides adequate storage for everyone: hooks to hang coats, scarves and hats, a practical closet, shelves to hold everyday items, a pretty bench with built-in storage compartments – all these will help keep the entrance area looking neat and tidy, with everything in its place.
