As an architect, I have an annoying sensitivity to clutter and obstructions. (see free ebook on “24 ways decluttering can save you money”)

Childrens play table
Sofa
Low seat lounge

We love board games, and would prefer the kids play them first before resorting to screen. We needed a good way to store them so that the kids could easily take them out and pack them away.
Board games come in a range of sizes. The challenge is to make all of them accessible (ie no double stacking in height or depth). As they are various sizes, they can appear messy if left in open storage.
We decided to have the board games in the living room, and incorporated them into the living room storage that supported the TV.
Storage systems
Storage come in two main types: custom and ..read more
