House Beautiful Storage Workshop

House Beautiful Workshop

by Tessa Evelegh, The Editors of House Beautiful magazine

From apartment dwellers to mansion owners, we all could use a little more storage. Fortunately, because storage systems and solutions have come a long way in the past few years, there’s an answer to almost every problem—and it’s right in here. With the cleverness you’d expect from any House Beautiful Workshop guide, it tackles all the general issues before moving into each individual room and examining what works with various design styles and lifestyles. Of course, attractive photos illustrate and clarify every point throughout. There’s advice on getting started, taking control, assessing needs, putting everything in its place, and taking advantage of underused niches and architectural features, plus original ideas for displaying or concealing the stuff we accumulate.

One of my faves I’ve read this year- excellent meta explanation of approaching storage design and room layout, with great visual examples for each area of the home that needs organized to make the concepts practical and actionable for any decor or architectural style. A must read for any renter, a must have for any home owner. This is forevermore one of my housewarming and shower gifts.
