Whether you live in a mansion or a city apartment, chances are you’ll still be seeking storage space for your essential – and not so essential possessions. Storage space doesn’t always feature high on our list when we imagine our dream home, but in reality it’s one of the most important considerations for making any room look and feel bigger, tidier and more welcoming. Our small space storage ideas will help you to find ingenious ways to maximise awkward areas and reclaim your room from clutter.
Bright Lounge Design
Take Control – Tackle the Clutter in Your Living Room for Good
We accumulate ‘things’ without thinking about it. Paperwork, periodicals, books, ornaments, ‘stuff’; whatever’s taking up space in your living room, it can be tricky to find that balance of having a room that looks homely and stylish at the same time. If you don’t have the floor or wall space for traditional lounge cabinets, a bespoke solution that’s made to fit your room and your requirements is the answer.
Over Door Shelving
Our answer for small space storage or open plan living areas is to use the ‘dead’ space over doorways. Cleverly designed, made-to-measure shelving, can be integrated into sloping ceilings to create an eye-catching display area for your treasured pieces. You could also include covered cupboards to hide away essentials you don’t need every day. This type of solution keeps your lounge free for relaxing and entertaining in style.

Make Use of Alcoves
If you think your alcoves are too shallow or oddly shaped to be of any use – think again. These spaces are just waiting to be made useful. Transforming these quirky features with made-to-measure storage will enhance the look and feel of the whole room. Whether you go for open shelving for your books and artwork or you prefer closed cabinets for the things you don’t want on show, making use of alcoves will instantly make your room look and feel more spacious.
Hidden Reading Nook or a Quiet Zone
Even smaller homes can benefit from a ‘quiet area’. If you want somewhere to unwind but haven’t got a spare room you could create a cosy space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and built-in seating. By using some planning and a dash of creativity, carefully positioned shelving in the corner of the lounge or kitchen can help to zone a small area – keeping it apart from the hubbub in the rest of the home. Use bespoke partitions to create a reading space or a dedicated workspace with a small integrated desk, or create a storage corner for kids’ toys; it’s a great way to conceal them when they’re not being played with.
White Painted Lounge Furniture
Make the Most of the Space Under Your Stairs
Clever storage under-the-stairs can solve all manner of problems; from a space to keep your outdoor clothes, coats and boots – a great way to keep your hallway clear – to somewhere for your cleaning essentials like the hoover, mops and buckets. If you already have a space for the essentials you could turn it into a bookshelf, a glamorous drinks bar or even a small workstation where you can focus on your professional life away from distractions elsewhere in the home. It could even be a fun place for the kids to do their homework, freeing up their bedrooms for rest and relaxation.
Understairs Study
Space Under Windows
If you have a view worth shouting about why not make the most of it? Build a bench seat with lots of comfy cushions as a place to sit and watch the world go by. No one will ever know that beneath that stylish bench is storage for all the clutter you don’t want on show. It’s a small space storage idea that’s perfect for dumping shoes, toys and games.
Looking to Create the Illusion of a Larger Bedroom?
Opt for Over Bed Storage
If you’re short of floor space, an over-the-bed storage solution could be the answer. These ingenious cupboards are ideal for storing bed linen, extra pillows, folded items like sweaters – they’re even great for storing books and cosmetics. Include integrated lighting, and you could benefit from a stylish feature that’s not only practical but could enhance the entire mood of your room.
Contemporary Willow Bedroom
Sliding Wardrobe Door Solutions
One of our favourite small space storage ideas is the sliding wardrobe door. It means you can have lots of storage with plenty of access in a limited space. Go for painted sliding doors in a shade that blends with your scheme or double up on space-saving with mirrored doors that mean you won’t need a freestanding mirror taking up precious floor space.
Our storage solutions demonstrate that if you get creative, you can maximise even the most minuscule sliver of space.

From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
Rosalind Tunnicliffe, Solihull
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
Alison Cole, Swinton
A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
Judith Scorer, Stockport
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
