Having now collected a couple of bodies and six lenses with a desire for more, the Vanguard VEO Select 45 bag is running out of space. Would be grateful to know how others keep/store their kit at home.

Shelves, drawers, cupboards.
 
I have several of these

DIVIDER BAG 40 15 Litre

The Divider Bag 40 is designed to keep a mid sized camera kit safe at home, in the studio or in the back of a car, ready to decant the kit you need for your shoot. There are also zippered pockets for additional accessories such as cables. As an example, it can fit two DSLR cameras with grips...

The reason I went for thsi size is that when fitted into matching Vanguard hard case, it meets carry on bag requirements for air travel.
 
I bought an instrumentation storage/transport case, ex-Lufthansa, from E-bay a year or so ago. Similar to a Peli case but a fraction of the price. Bought some pick-and-pluck foam sheets from Amazon. Result - a cheap and solid storage box (though not submersible).
 
After much trial and plenty of errors, I now keep all I use on the G9 in one bag, then I have smaller bags for the others with what usually gets used on each of them, then a bag for flashes, slave triggers, ball mounts, cables etc, and finally another bag with bits that could get used on any camera, but not often.

I also have a couple of small bags that will just carry a camera and lens as the majority of times, that is all I will use for that day.

I now hardly ever have to change things around, except for example to "borrow" a lens from the G9 bag to use on the G80, but at least now I know exactly where everything is, and the bags are not so full things could fall out getting to something else.
 
Similar to Sangoma, I have a variety of camera bags, so there's the Nikon bag, Olympus EM1 bag, EM10 bag, IR Nikon bag, plus a couple of spare bags used for film outings; the film cameras were in a china display cabinet until very recently and I'm now trying to figure out a new means of storing yet retaining easy access.
 
I have my kit stored over a number of bags, shelves, etc and select only what I want to take with me on a per occasion basis, with two or three different sized back-packs one if which I load as appropriate.

Only carry what you really need, otherwise you're carrying superfluous kit/weight.
