With more and more of us compromising space for a vibrant inner city lifestyle, it’s hard to imagine that with a few small changes to our living quarters we can not only create more space, but also a more organised way of living.

Justine Wilson, Director and Principal Stylist at Vault Interiors shares her top space saving tips:

1. Seasonal Storage – Who doesn’t want a streamline immaculate wardrobe? Space bags, shoe storage boxes and under bed storage boxes are all quick, easy and affordable ways to do this.
2. Multifunctional Furniture – Beds and ottomans with storage are the most common and easiest to find.
3. Dual Purpose Spaces – Try converting a spare bedroom into both a study area and guest room by using a sofa bed instead of a traditional bed is one great idea.
4. Smart Storage – Joinery is a significant way to change the way you live and has endless possibilities when it comes to storage. Unused areas can be transformed into functional storage spaces with only a small amount of work, e.g. bench seating built under windows or storage under the staircase.
5. Think Vertical – Why not use walls to create space? Pegboards are flexible and fun and can be used for both practical and display purposes. You can add colour and life to your walls with only a small amount of effort.
6. Floating Furniture – Floating shelves are a light, open and seamless way to display items. We love to utilise perspex or glass box shelving to create a sophisticated and interesting way to showcase items you may not have room to display.
