Storage & home essentials

Start at the entrance, the first thing a guest sees. A tiered shoe rack holds the whole family's shoes in half a square metre, and if you also want a place for jackets and bags, the 3 in 1 shoe cabinet with clothes stand combines both in one piece. Before ordering, count your shoes and measure the width of the entrance, the most common mistake.

In the bedroom, a two-door fabric wardrobe is a fast, cheap fix for renters, students and the spare room: a light frame that clicks together with no screws and comes apart to move by car. The folding wardrobe for clothes and shoes gives you more shelves and folds flat when not needed. A corner clothes organizer uses the dead corner of the room for daily clothes and bags.

Do not forget the small fixes that help every day: an automatic door closer quietly shuts the kitchen or bathroom door on its own, keeping out flies, dust and hot air, and installs in minutes. Waterproof, heat resistant aluminium tape seals leaking pipes and air cooler joints and protects the kitchen wall behind the cooker from grease.

Common mistakes: overloading one shelf until it bends, placing a fabric wardrobe in a damp spot where the fabric stains, and buying a rack wider than the hallway. Spread the weight across all shelves, clean the fabric with a damp cloth only, and fix tall pieces to the wall if you have children.
