I was thinking of putting a wardrobe in front of the wall to distract the eye from the fact that the room is shorter on the inside than it should be, maybe I could position a painting/picture over the hole that the tins will eventualy drop in from.

Yeah, I've still not got round to doing this yet (keep moving house). It's more work than just hollowing out a section of the wall, but personally I think it's better than just stacking them in there.

There's the added bonus that if you're hanging pictures etc or have anyone round to do any work in the house that involves making holes in the wall it'll add some extra protection. Obviously you should always use one of those little pipe detectors before making a hole in any wall anyway, but it doesn't help to add a little something extra.

I'm trying to knock up some sort of cushioning device so that it'll enable a tin to survive the "long drop" without damaging it, but apart from springs etc I'm still none the wiser
