Personalise with Smart Details

Once the basics are in place, it’s time to make the space your own:

• Choose a Colour Scheme: Paint your Easycraft panels in a colour that complements your home. Opt for bold hues to make a statement or soft neutrals for a timeless feel. Visit our flatlays inspiration page for more colour combinations. 

• Layer in Storage Solutions: Use a combination of open cubbies for shoes and baskets for accessories, ensuring everything has its place.

• Include Everyday Essentials: A bench with hidden storage, a keyholder, and hooks for each family member will keep the space organised and functional.
