Good storage is everything. It’s the key to tidy rooms and easy, frictionless routines at home. And done right, it can be beautiful.
Sharps doesn't just navigate sloping ceilings and awkward corners; it conjures up gorgeous wardrobe and shelving systems that make the most of every inch.
‘Even your messy sock drawer can be transformed into a beautiful curated display,’ Gail Bignell, Sharps' interiors expert promises. ‘The beauty of what we do lies in designing furniture to fit your needs – not the other way around.’ It's why our judges voted Sharps a worthy winner. That, and two words that make our hearts skip a beat: shoe cascade.
What makes Sharps a natural fit for this award?
'We design around real people. Every home has different dimensions, routines and storage challenges, so customisation sits at the heart of everything we do, from shelving layouts and internal compartments to finishes, colours and configurations. In a recent project, for example, we designed a bespoke unit for a huge vinyl collection,' says Gail.
Gail's guide to smarter storage
1) Think ahead
The best storage solutions evolve with you. Adjustable shelves, bespoke compartments and adaptable interiors help ensure your furniture works hard year after year.
2) Mix closed storage with integrated open shelving
It means you can spotlight a standout item, whether that’s a beautiful lamp in the living room or your collection of hats in the wardrobe. In bedrooms, we’ve noticed a growing interest in gorgeous dedicated vanity spaces.
3) Aim for calm
The best sign you've mastered your storage is when a room feels uncluttered. Everything has a place, and it shows.
