Traditionally known as a linen press, this cupboards are perfect for storing bathroom gear. Having said that most of us won’t be able to fit one of these into our bathrooms but they work well on landings, or in bedrooms come to that. Store sheets and towels in the main cupboard and the deep drawers work well for loo roll, large bottles of shampoo, cleaning products and all that other stuff that you don’t necessarily want on display but which it’s handy to keep nearby.

This one is from Home Barn and costs £695 but there are usually plenty of them about to do have a hunt if you fancy one and this has sold by the time you get there.
