17th May 2012

According to new Ipsos MORI research by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) consumers are looking for more storage to accommodate for the lack of space across their entire home. IronmongeryDirect understands that space is often at a premium and can provide the latest in storage options to help create a neat and tidy look.

"We have seen a strong trend towards 'improve rather than move.' Instead of moving, our customers are doing extension or conversion work." comments Wayne Lysaght-Mason, Managing Director of, IronmongeryDirect, The UK’s largest online and mail order trade supplier of ironmongery products. "One popular option to free up space has always been sliding doors which are ideal for built-in wardrobes in the bedroom. The trend for pocket doors works well for open plan homes where they are used in living areas, concealing home entertainment system, toys and home office equipment."
