If your hallway is more 'obstacle course' than 'warm welcome', you're not alone. In our latest episode on the Ideal Home Show YouTube channel, we tackle the everyday chaos of cluttered entryways and overflowing wardrobes. But here's the good news: help is at hand, and it comes with a hefty dose of calm.

Professional organisers Esme Fisher (@tidycoaching.esme) and Heather Dhillon (@thecalmhomecompany) join us to share the kind of clever, real-life systems that actually stick. No unrealistic Pinterest perfection here – just smart, sustainable tips you can put into action straight away.

Let’s start with the first impression. According to Esme and Heather, the hallway should set the tone for the rest of your home – and that means keeping it clear. Their solution? A dedicated grab-and-go zone with designated spots for coats, bags, keys, and shoes. It’s all about setting up a routine that saves you time and keeps the clutter at bay.

Tired of toys underfoot and school bags dumped wherever they land? This episode has child-friendly storage ideas that are as functional as they are forgiving. Think labelled baskets, low hooks, and routines that encourage independence – it’s tidying that teaches good habits, not just order.

From folding techniques to the game-changing hanger trick, Heather and Esme share wardrobe decluttering hacks that make it easy to see what you have – and let go of what you don’t wear. It’s not about having less, it’s about using what you love more often.

What we love most about this episode is the realistic approach. Esme and Heather aren’t preaching perfection – they’re offering systems that flex with your life. Whether you're short on time, space, or both, their advice is all about working smarter, not harder.
