It is very easy for homeowners to become frustrated with their property and dream of buying something bigger and better. However, while some people do need extra space in their house, most of the time this frustration can be resolved with simple renovations that add much more storage, and subsequently, make your home feel clear and clutter-free again.

Under-the-stairs cloakroom
Perhaps the messiest part of the house and one that gets most homeowners down on a regular basis is the hallway. This is often covered in shoes, coats, school bags, hats, and scarves, which, despite good intentions, never seem to go back into the right place.
One solution could be to turn your space under the stairs into cupboards, with coat rails, space for shoes, boxes for accessories and shelves for other junk that tends to find its way on to the floor.

A walk-in-wardrobe
If you have any unused space in the house, it could be worth turning it into a walk-in-wardrobe, as this will not only provide ample storage for your clothes, shoes and accessories and give you somewhere to get ready, but it could add considerable value to your property.
According to Bruna Pani from We Buy Any House, speaking with The Express, the cost of a walk-in-wardrobe can start at £5,500 but adds £10,000 on to the asking price.

A bootility
If you are planning to renovate your kitchen, why not add a bootility room as well? This is a utility room that doubles as a boot room, allow you to keep outdoor equipment, coats and shoes in your washing area.
Founder of Olive & Barr Al Bruce told Ideal Home: “To maximise space, consider full-height cabinets and shelved wall space to utilise every inch of the room.”
This will give homeowners space for umbrellas, wellies, scooters, fishing rods and so on, as well as cleaning equipment, vacuum cleaners, and ironing boards.
