I found that a few basic towel rails mounted on the back of my wardrobe door works for me :D heels can hang on the rails, or i slot the toe of the shoes in behind the rail. If you've got a spare wall, mounting them on a wall would be even better.... and ballet flats in labelled boxes: 'Dark Coloured Flats' (navy, black) and 'Coloured Flats' (all the other colours ;) ) .....if you need inspo, just search 'shoe storage' on Pinterest. See you in a few hours. LOL

Now you have posted this picture with an unmade bed and clothes all over it for us to see - note future girlfriend may be a houzzer. Number 1 make bed and put away clothes before guests arrive or you take and post photos as all the paintings and new doona covers in the world won't make up for this. After this consider all the great suggestions above. Note to self - make your own bed more often please rather than advising others to do same.

I love Marie's respect for the things we have, and her practice of thanking the things that don't actually bring us joy for what they have taught us (eg I don't suit that colour or if I don't like the feel of something, I don't end up wearing it). Her system does not generate a lot of rubbish; there are always people that will love the things that don't suit us and will be grateful to be able to buy them at a good price at a charity shop. I have found her philosophy hugely helpful especially for sentimental items which I don't love but felt I should hang on to. She has changed my life!

Hi @Macyjean, it’s always those impracticalities like one thing being in front or on top of another that drive us mad. Most of the time we only have one hand free to grab an object and it’s ridiculously frustrating to have to move a towel to get to the t.paper. I think every photo on social media has to be used as inspiration only, and through the lens of”how would my things and lifestyle actually fit and work here” . Most people, most days can barely get through the laundry list let alone when it’s raining, , your family have come down with a virus and the new puppy hasn’t yet finished toilet training. These are the real days of our lives where we need to just reach the toilet paper, and everything else without hassle. Re the luggage, it’s the same for anything that needs storing- the things you use most need to be closest to you and where they are used. The things less used in the less valuable spaces. Unless you have acres of storage(which actually has you walking miles from one end of the home to another, following a hierachy such as this is the way most people have to live . This can be greatly enhanced though with a lot of thought going into how and where you do activities, what your physical capabilities and limits are and then designing ergonomically to those parameters. (it’s the not so sexy aspect of interior design that we specialise in:)) You can see the blum space step drawer you mentioned here , it’s great. I’ve included it into dressing rooms for shoes and providing access to the upper storage cabinets https://www.blum.com/au/en/products/cabinet-applications/space-step/overview/ And I’m glad we’ve got you thinking- it might spur a solution to your luggage:)
