Problem
The small everyday things — keys, letters, a book — often have no fixed place of their own and end up piled on tables or lost in drawers where no one can find them.
Solution
Run a continuous shelf at waist height along the walls, so that the small things of daily life have a settled, easily reached place to rest wherever you are in the room.
