9 signs you've been living without storage for too long

You never thought you’d grow up to be an adult dreaming of storage solutions, did you?

MODERN LIVING IN many parts of Ireland means that lots of people are living in apartments.

Tiny apartments made of paper with virtually no storage.  Thus, many people are living in what we affectionately call ‘storage hell’.

If you are one of those people, you will be familiar with these signs which indicate that you have been there too long.

There are no clear spaces in your apartment
