Storeage Solutions

[Buzz Lightyear]

I have totally had enough of having toys on display and tidied away in a corner on an evening and have come to the conclusion that yes, I am a childcare setting during the day but on an evening, this is my home which I once loved and adored and I would love to get that back without my living room looking like a nursery in one corner!

So I am looking for some decent storeage option which I can "hide" everything away in on an evening once mindees have gone home and my own two are in bed. Does anyone have any fab solutions? I have thought about a sideboard cupboard but have decided against it as I think it might look too cramped as I have a corner wall unit (but am open to getting rid of if needs musts - just dont tell DH)

I just wish we had an extra room to hide it all in!

Is there another area of the house where you can store it so it's not in your front room?

Somewhere you can clear out under the stairs?

A good quality (so it doesn't get damp) shed in the garden?

Decorate the boxes with material to cover them up

There is definite vacant space under our stairs and I asked DH about putting a door through our lounge to go under it for storage but the problem we have is that it's a supporting wall and DH thinks it'll be a very expensive and a major hassle of a job

The other way to it is through our downstairs loo but the space is too small and we'd never use it that way.

I've been looking at sideboards / wall units, etc but I then think the room might look a bit cramped.

Hmm... we are definitely outgrowing our house

How about one of the large screens (like the ones Ikea sell) - that way you can hide that corner in the evening & use the screen for a CFS in the day time!
