Synopsis

Lack of useful storage is a common, and often overwhelming, problem. The keyword here is efficient: we all have boxes that are too big for their contents, so space is wasted, or too small for their contents, so items are damaged. Bookcases with irritatingly deep shelves that are spaced too widely to accommodate the maximum number of paperbacks, but not widely enough to hold large art books. Cupboards that have fixed shelves in the wrong position… the list goes on and on.

However, there is an answer to all of these problems – build your own storage, and this book shows you how to do just that. 23 clever, efficient, smart and easy to make projects offering storage solutions for all kinds of items, from linen to books to the TV, plus ideas for customizing the designs to suit your own interior.

All the projects are illustrated with clear step-by-step photographs and there is a techniques section that includes all you need to know on measuring up for storage.
