5 GAME-CHANGING BUYS

The products you need to tackle a timely tidy-up or tame an out-of-control collection

1 THE SKINNY SHOE CABINET

High-traffic hallways can get easily overrun with shoes and outdoor belongings. These slimline cabinets butt against a wall so are ideal for narrow spaces, with compartments that pull down (rather than outwards) so they won’t obstruct anyone passing through. Each cabinet holds up to 16 pairs. Hemnes two-compartment shoe cabinet, £90, Ikea

2 THE UNDERBED DRAWER

If you’re squeezed for wardrobe space, divvy up summer sandals and winter shoes and stash away any out-of-season footwear. Measure underbed space before you buy – lower beds will need a shallow drawer – and choose drawers with lids so shoes don’t get dusty. Willow underbed lined storage, £60, John Lewis & Partners

3 THE SPACE-SAVING STACKERS
