My Fitted Bedroom’s head designer, Megan Baker, highlights some of the most popular ways UK homeowners are getting organised and how its storage is being applied in UK homes.

Beauty Bays are a new trend for 2019: “Replacing the dressing table concept (often messy and filled with bottles, brushes and make-up palettes) built-in beauty bays – hidden behind wardrobe doors – are ideal for keeping make-up and toiletries hidden away.

Top tips to keep wardrobe storage clutter-free

Megan adds “Cramming too much into wardrobes is something most people are guilty of, making it difficult to find the perfect outfit for the day ahead but it can also mean crumpled clothes and out of shape accessories.

Three simple tips for the keeping a clutter free wardrobe are:

1. The 12-month rule– if you’ve not worn something in the last 12 months then get rid of it

2. Seasonality– Rotate a summer wardrobe and winter wardrobe, putting away anything that won’t be worn until temperatures rise or fall.

3. A place for everything– there are literally hundreds of storage solutions and ways to configure wardrobe internals, but create a wish list of what you want to be able to find easily during your daily routine and prioritise your most worn items.
