Creative storage ideas

Boxes

Decorative boxes are a great storage hack, as they hide your items in a tidy way in plain sight. It also makes putting your items away a lot easier when storage options are in the same room.

Ottomans

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 clean 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 bedside desk space for the more important items in your life.

Open storage

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 a 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 that 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 the mattress, storage is a perfect way to maximise your storage room in a place that takes up a lot of space. Fill this space with extra clothing, bedding, appliances, or toys that would usually take up your living space.

Shelving

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.

Stacking storage

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.
