Storage Solutions When Your Kids’ Stuff Takes Over the Home!

Posted on April 9, 2018November 15, 2024 by Emma Reed

So, turns out that 2 kids, 2 adults, a cat and a dog in one house equals to zero space being left. Even though we have a four-bed house it was never designed well when it comes to storage. We’ve had to build cupboards, a window seat, a wardrobe and yet we are still struggling to store everything and now that we have run out of areas to build units I am looking into what funky shelving units are available to help with space but to also make our home look good too.

After all, why shouldn’t we make a little more money so that we can save for our kids’ futures and do our best to improve their quality of life?
