Each month we handpick one talented Instagrammer and their impeccably beautiful home to be featured in our journal. We are truly inspired daily by all the talent that we see and just have to share it with you. This month’s “Featured this month” is brought to you by a handful of talented Instagrammers who are experts at juggling a million tasks at once and keeping the house in order, with impeccable storage ideas.
As the long, sun-soaked days of summer draw to a close, it’s time to transition back into our regular routines. With children heading back to school, the post-summer period is the perfect opportunity to refresh and reorganise your home. The summer holidays are all about embracing the clutter and now, let’s get the house back in order.
Let’s start with all those toys.
Creative toy storage ideas:
Children love playing with all their toys at once. It’s all part of fully enjoying childhood. But with a little bit of organisation and creativity, our first Instagrammer has some ideas for a system to keep toys tidy and accessible.
Lauren of @graciellehome has a keen eye for toy organisation that isn’t an eye sore. In keeping with Lauren’s theme of her home, which is stylish, neutral and very on trend, she has chosen a selection of Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Trunks, which are perfect for easy toy storage. She has chosen a medium Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Trunk for her lounge and a small Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Trunk in her son’s bedroom for continuity and style.

Children’s bedroom storage ideas
Another fantastic way of tackling storage is to invest in storage solutions like floating shelves and built-in storage ideas.
In this beautiful neutral bedroom with some very clever storage solutions, the very talented Chelsea of @ourlittlehome2017 has created a gorgeous, yet very practical storage unit, which is built into the wall of the bedroom, saving space on shelves and making use of the space she has.
To fill the space, she has chosen a bundle of Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Baskets for loose odds and ends.

Useful Toy Cupboard Storage
Ah the toy cupboard. The cupboard we dread to open for fear of toys, games, arts and crafts spilling out all over the place. This space in the cupboard requires more attention than any other cupboard in the house. Joanna of @project_34_selfbuild has chosen a selection of our large Grey & Buff Rattan Storage Baskets which fit perfectly on the shelves of this unit. She has cleverly decided to make this space an orderly system for easy access and ease for when her children want anything from it.
The bottom shelf is for big board games, whilst the middle shelf is for frequently used games and the top shelf is for the games that aren’t used on a regular basis, making it easy for her children to access and put away once they’ve finished playing.

Kitchen Storage & Organisation

This particular example by @new.build.co_amargh is especially lovely because not only isn’t it stylish, it’s also functional. Once again, with the touch of beautiful Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Baskets for elegant organisation.

Organised and Designated Play Areas
Establish specific play areas in your home to keep toy clutter under control. Whether it’s a dedicated playroom, or a corner in the living room, having a defined space helps keep toys from migrating all over the house. Harriet of @life.with.madison.evie has chosen a Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Storage Trunk to store all of the large toys, which find their way all over the house. However, the ease of a storage trunk means that she can store toys away in seconds, leaving her space clean, calm and clear.
