Dublin homes are known for their charm and character, but as the years pass, sometimes space can be at a premium. Whether you’re living in a cosy apartment or a bustling family home, making the most of your space is key. Here are five smart storage hacks to help you declutter, organise, and transform your Dublin home.
1. Go Vertical: Maximise Wall Space
Often, the most overlooked storage space is the vertical square footage. Installing floating shelves or wall-mounted baskets can turn an empty wall into a storage powerhouse. Use these spaces for books, plants, and kitchenware. It’s not only practical but can also add to the décor of your home, giving it a personal touch.
2. Hidden Storage Furniture: Dual-Purpose Pieces
Furniture with built-in storage serves a dual purpose, making it a must-have in smaller spaces. Think beds with drawers underneath, ottomans with lids, and coffee tables with hidden compartments. These pieces keep your belongings out of sight and reduce the need for additional storage units.
3. Declutter Regularly: Adopt a Minimalist Approach
The best way to maximise space is to have less to store. Adopt a minimalist approach by regularly sorting through your belongings and keeping only what you need and love. Seasonal items, rarely used gadgets, and clothes that no longer fit can all be sold, donated, or recycled.
4. Use Dividers and Organizers Inside Drawers and Cabinets
Drawer dividers, shelf organisers, and storage bins can work wonders in keeping your items sorted and easy to find. This is particularly useful in the kitchen and wardrobe, where small items can easily become a jumbled mess. By assigning a place for everything, you maintain order and save time.
5. Consider a Personal Storage Service: Elephant Click & Store

Seáns Experience with Elephant Click & Store
In 2016, after years in Dubai, Séan Murphy and his wife moved back to Ireland, bringing a household of cherished items with them. With a Dublin home already furnished, they needed space for their belongings. Self-storage at Elephant Self Storage, offering temperature control, security, and convenient location, became their choice. Séan praises the service for easing their transition, saying, “Moving from Dubai was a huge shift.
