It’s only about 50 days until Christmas everyone!  It’s time to get organised… and by that I don’t just mean in terms of presents, invitations and Christmas card lists.  It’s time to start preparing your home for guests!  The next few weeks are guaranteed to fly by and in the close run-up to Christmas you’re going to be busy with other things.  So let’s start decluttering now.

I’ve been looking for simple storage solutions which are quick-fixes.  If you have a few ‘bits-and-bobs’ lying around, the quickest solution would be to pack them away in storage boxes, even if it’s just for over the festive period.  Most homeware stores sell them- or if you have time why not cover some yourself?

Forget messy piles of paper here, there and everywhere- this storage idea seen on Apartment Therapy will keep your wrapping paper in one place!

Heaven for art lovers, this hexagonal shelving found at a car boot sale is ideal for keeping tools easily accessible.  Image via Apartment Therapy.

 Window seating is a great feature- especially in bay windows.  Lift the top and use as storage too!  A great place to keep bulky items such as bedding.
