Your ultimate guide to wardrobe storage by Roundhouse

At Another Approach, we love helping families and individuals regain control of their spaces, and recently we had the pleasure of transforming a chaotic teenage desk into an organised, inspiring studio for a talented student preparing for her GCSE Art exam. This young student needed a functional, inspiring space to study and create, but the disarray of supplies, schoolwork, and personal items was making it hard to focus.
1) Decluttering the Essentials: We began by sorting through the art supplies, books, and personal items. The student participated in the process, deciding what materials she truly needed and what could be stored away or discarded. We categorised her art supplies—paints, pencils, brushes, craft—making it easier for her to access what she needed without causing more clutter.

2) Personalised Storage Solutions: To help keep the space organised in the long term, we introduced storage solutions that matched her needs and style. We used clear, labeled containers for different art materials and separate bins for school supplies. A peg board was added to ensure that frequently used items, like feltpens, sewing thread were easily accessible. This not only saved time but also reduced stress by creating an intuitive system.
3) Creating a Clear Desk: This helped her to mentally switch between academic tasks and creative time without the two activities overlapping or causing clutter.
4) Displaying Finished Work: To honour the student’s hard work and give her space to appreciate her progress, we installed a gallery wall to display her favourite completed projects. This gave her a sense of pride and accomplishment, while also freeing up space from piles of finished work.
5) Adding Personal Touches: To make the space feel uniquely hers, we added personal elements.
