We share what to measure during viewings before you have the keys, how to choose a sensible size when you are still discovering the storage in a new home, and why delivery a day or two after the move often works best. We also cover simple habits to set from day one, styling the cabinet with a mirror and lamp, wall colours that suit walnut and easy care for wood in a busy hallway....
