Bin Storage - Utility hidden in plain sight

Some things are necessary, but not beautiful. Wheelie bins are one of them. They help keep life running smoothly, but left in plain sight, they can dominate the view before you’ve even stepped inside.

A simple screen, a box, or even planting can shift the focus. The bins are still there—still practical, still easy to reach—but they’re no longer the first thing you see. Instead, the garden leads, the welcome feels warmer, and the view from the street is cleaner.

It’s a small change, and not one that will make a magazine cover. But like so many quiet adjustments, it works in the background—helping the rest of the house speak louder.
