Sometimes, it can be hard to keep up with everyday life and maintain a home. It can be hard to keep clutter-free when you have children coming home from school, a dog who throws it’s toys around the house, or the remanence of a family occasion left in your drawers aka confetti and glitter. Smart storage comes in handy here. In order to optimise storage and space-saving, it is a good idea to look at the furniture you have\/wish to buy, and see if it can benefit your day-to-day life when it comes to storage.<\/p>\n
One way of being smart with your storage is to use your bookshelves\/storage units to the full of their capacity. In order to do this, you can utilise baskets and boxes to put small nick-nacks in or seasonal goods you don’t need all year around – out of sight, out of mind, less clutter = less stress!<\/p>\n
Functional furniture was very popular a few years ago, you would find a dining table that could fold-up, a storage unit that could turn into a bed, and so on. Then, the trend turned to statement furniture, whereby the furniture spoke but didn’t have much purpose in the room other than to look<\/em> good. Now, we have come full-circle once again, and functional furniture is becoming more popular!<\/p>\n Thankfully, here at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing, we have plenty of functional furniture items for you to try. A fan favourite is the Hemsby storage bed. Cleverly designed, the Hembsy bed frame encapsulates both style and function. Hidden neatly inside the base is a plethora of spacious storage solutions. Simply pull the velvet ties at the base of the bed to reveal this treasure trove of space.<\/p>\n Another piece of functional furniture is the Ellis coffee table with lift top. This coffee table is the definition of smart storage. This coffee table serves three purposes. The first being a large rectangular coffee table, in a beautiful acacia wood. The second being a storage box once you raise the surface, perfect for storing anything you don’t need out all the time. And finally, a table. It can be raised and used as a living room dining table, homework table, play table, whatever you need it to do! It also has a soft close feature so you need not worry about it slamming shut!<\/p>\n Whenever you think of a sofa with storage, I’m sure you imagine a modular unit with a drinks holder in the middle, this would also be considered smart storage! You can hide unwanted remote controls, books, newspaper, or any other clutter from your living room that you wish to conceal. Like in the Townsend corner unit. We also have units with side pockets <\/em> as well, for that additional storage you may need, for example in the Oliveria 3-seater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes, it can be hard to keep up with everyday life and maintain a home.
