Creative storage ideas
Decorative boxes are a great storage hack, as they hide your items tidily in plain sight. It also makes putting your items away a lot easier when storage options are in the same room. This Houndstooth Trunk takes influence from Manchester’s iconic architecture.
With vegan faux leather and soft velvet, the Houndstooth Trunk offers the perfect combination of style and functionality for your home storage needs. Designed with a chic mix of modern and vintage style, the storage trunk shines with any décor whilst allowing you to maintain a tidy space.
An ottoman is a fantastic and versatile piece of furniture. Working as a spare seat, a coffee table, and extra storage – your room will look pristine whilst looking modern and stylish with this hidden storage option.
- Wall-mounted lamps
Utilising your wall space and installing wall-mounted lamps gives you the opportunity to use your bed side desk space for the more important items in your life.
Open storage, such as decorative baskets and bespoke wall-mounted shelves can look just as tidy as hiding your belongings behind closed doors and this option will give a homely and cosier feel to your space. It’s important not to overload open storage spaces, as it can make the space feel cluttered and disorganised. Choose your favourite pieces that you use regularly to put on show and give these items their designated space on your shelves.
Efficient storage ideas
Double-use furniture
Like ottomans, the use of double-use furniture including bunk beds with integrated study desks do a two-in-one job and create an efficient space which also maximises storage space. Another fantastic dual space saver includes bookshelves with integrated desk space, so you can keep your work contained in one small space.
- Under mattress storage
Under mattress storage is a perfect way to maximise your storage room in a place which takes up a lot of space. Fill this space with extra clothing, bedding, appliances, or toys which would usually take up your living space.
Shelving is a great hack towards creating more storage without it impacting your living space. Install your shelves on an open wall to make the space feel less compact and you can use this space for important items or decorations to make your space feel more homely.
Trunks are a decorative statement in any room, whilst also doing a great job for your extra bits and pieces which you’d rather have out of sight. Stackable storage makes is an efficient storage option for smaller spaces, and you can even add small decorative pieces on top of your trunks for a more personal touch to your storage space.
These Black & Cane Trunks from VonHaus feature a rustic retro design to refresh your space and add a monochromatic element to a neutral colour scheme.
An elegant rattan design finishes the trunks, adding a bohemian touch and contrasted by black fibreboard for a distinctive presentation. Lined with luxurious soft velvet, have peace of mind that your belongings will be kept scratch-free within the trunks. Store the smaller trunk within the larger trunk when moving them around or to save space.
