Posted on by Gavin Forde

As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, we take a moment to reflect on what it truly means to be proudly Irish. At Smart Storage, being Irish-owned is more than just a title—it’s the heart and soul of everything we do. From our skilled craftsmanship to the dedicated team behind the scenes, we embrace the values that make Irish businesses so special: innovation, resilience, and community.

Under Stairs Storage with Ireland Jersey

An Irish Idea That Transformed Homes Across the Nation

Smart Storage was born from a simple yet powerful idea—to make the most of every inch of space in Irish homes. Inspired by the way traditional Irish homes maximise small spaces, our under-stairs storage solutions have revolutionised modern living, offering practical and stylish ways to stay organised.

Over the years, we’ve grown from a homegrown Irish business into a leading name in storage solutions, expanding beyond Ireland while staying true to our roots. Our mission remains the same: helping Irish households declutter, organise, and transform their living spaces.

The People Behind Smart Storage – Our Irish Spirit in Action

At the heart of Smart Storage is our people. Our team are all based throughout Ireland, bringing a wealth of local knowledge and craftsmanship to every project. Whether it’s a family home in Dublin, a townhouse in Cork, or a cottage in Galway, we understand Irish homes better than anyone because we live in them too!

Every storage unit we install is crafted with care, ensuring that homeowners get the best solutions tailored to their needs. From concept to completion, our team is dedicated to delivering quality, creativity, and a touch of Irish charm to every project.

At Smart Storage, we believe in making home life easier and more organised, allowing you to enjoy more space, less clutter, and a stress-free environment.

So, whether you’re hosting a St. Patrick’s Day gathering, decorating with Irish-themed décor, or simply embracing the joy of the season, we’re here to help make your home work smarter!

Our Very First Smart Storage Customer – 12 Years Later

Posted on by Gavin Forde

The Smart Storage team were delighted to have the opportunity to revisit our very first under stairs storage customer recently. Back in 2010, our team installed a 3 Drawer Unit beneath the stairs in a Co. Wicklow home for Rob and his young family. We caught up with Rob twelve years later to look back on the installation and to discuss how the unit solved a storage crisis for his family.


Rob tells us, “Before we had our Smart Storage unit installed, there was a little cubby hole under the stairs with a little door. We used to throw shoes, hoovers and other things in there. It was very hard to find anything under there, there was no light and it was just a chore to get under the stairs. When we got the Smart Storage unit installed, it solved that problem immediately, it allowed us to gain access to all the little things we had under the stairs and use a dead space that was never really used.”

Back in 2010, Rob had young children and the storage unit was used mainly for school supplies and sports gear. The family’s storage needs have changed with the passing of time and the under stairs storage unit has been adaptable to their changing storage requirements. 

“When we had the unit installed twelve years ago our lifestyle was very different. We had kids in school and the unit was used to store school bags, football gear, Gaelic gear and now our lives have changed. Our daughter is seventeen now and we use it for different stuff. I even have the biggest drawer now because I’ve got the most shoes, which is great!”

We were proud to see that the Smart Storage unit has stood the test of time, and that it has been adaptable to the changing storage needs of Rob’s family over the last decade. This is a testament to the high quality product delivered by Smart Storage and showcases the longevity and versatility of a Smart Storage unit. 

From humble beginnings in 2010, we now have a global reach thanks to the support of our loyal customers. A Dragons’ Den appearance in 2012 catapulted our expansion and today, we have a network of exceptional installers operating throughout Ireland and the UK.

As a company, we continually seek improvement in product offering and service levels, and our 96% customer satisfaction rating is testament to this ethos.

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” – Henry Ford

We can’t wait to see what the next decade has in store for Smart Storage.
