Top 10 home storage solutions
There’s nothing more satisfying than transforming your home using clever storage solutions. We take you through our top ten home storage solutions to help clear away the clutter.
With our homes having to work harder than ever in recent months, finding the right storage has never been so important. From small stackable boxes to wall mounted shelving systems, these clever storage solutions will help you to maximise your home’s potential.
Kristina Dam Studio Grid Sideboard
Kicking off our line-up is the beautiful Grid Sideboard from Kristina Dam Studio. Minimal, graphic and elegant – this sideboard has become a firm favourite of ours recently for its understated beauty and sturdy practicality. Made of black powder-coated steel, the perforated sides and top give this potentially heavy material a light appearance, whilst the internal shelves give plenty of room for storing your favourite books, glassware or even kids’ toys.
String Pocket Shelving
The ultimate flexible storage solution, String’s adaptable system is as popular today as when it was first designed by Swedish architect Nils Strinning in 1949. Winning multiple awards over its lifetime, the beauty of the modular String system is that it’s completely adaptable. It’s easy to add, replace or remove elements over time, allowing String units to evolve with your home and family. We think the ‘pocket shelving’ shown in our images is a great starting point if you’re interested in investing a String piece.
Frama Shelf
Sometimes all you just need is a simple shelf – something the Frama Shelf so elegantly and expertly provides. A true representation of Scandinavian simplicity, the Frama Shelf comes with a natural oak shelf and a choice of lightweight black, brass or stainless-steel brackets. Available in a number of widths, hang these individually or in groups to create a bespoke wall mounted storage solution.
Warm Nordic Be My Guest Bar Cabinet
Designed by Charlotte Honcke for Danish brand Warm Nordic – the Be My Guest Bar Cabinet is easily one of our favourite storage solutions. The design mixes chic materials, such as French cane and a sanded metal frame to create a truly elegant piece of furniture that will bring a touch of class to any space. Made for storing away your collection of spirits, wine and cocktail glasses – this design also comes in a larger sideboard option if you’re looking for more storage space.
ferm LIVING Paper Pulp Box
Made from raw 100% recycled paper pulp, these lidded boxes from ferm LIVING are a handy, lightweight and stackable storage solution. We love how these recycled (and completely recyclable) boxes provide an alternative to small storage boxes that are so often made of plastic. Use them for organising shoes in the bottom of a wardrobe, handily storage away stationary in an office or as a place to store toys under the bed – it’s up to you!
Wireworks Caddy Mezza
Providing a well-designed home for even the most everyday of items – let us introduce you to the Wireworks Caddy Mezza. Constructed from sustainably harvested solid white oak, this is a handy piece of storage that can be easily transported to wherever you need it most. Perfect for the bathroom, bedroom or even kitchen – this three-tiered unit features deep trays that can be used for storing everything from toiletries to utensils.
HAY Indian Plate Rack
Are you sad to always be hiding your favourite dinnerware away? Enter the Indian Plate Rack from HAY. Featuring a range of unique compartments, shelves and hooks – this wall mounted storage solution provides an elegant way to display your favourite kitchen accessories. Combining utilitarian functionality with retro style, the Indian Plate rack is a lifesaver for small kitchen spaces, and it looks great too.
dk3 Royal Shelving System
Designed by Poul Cadovius in 1948, the ground-breaking dk3 Royal System is regarded as one of the greatest Danish furniture successes. One of the first-ever wall-mounted furniture systems, the Royal System revolutionised the way we could use our homes – signalling a move away from heavy, traditional furniture that occupied too much floor space. Whatever your storage requirements, the Royal System lets you choose from a number of modules, creating anything from a modern desk setup to a large wall-mounted library.
USM Haller Sideboard
If you’re looking for freestanding storage or shelving that doesn’t need mounting to a wall – the USM Haller System provides a great solution. With a striking construction method based upon flexible steel modules, this shelving unit is particularly satisfying to assemble and is as sturdy as it is sophisticated.
Designed by iconic Swiss architect Fritz Haller, the Haller system can be highly customised - build the perfect combination for your space and choose from a range of minimal or bold colours.
Vitra Uten.Silo Wall Storage System
A design icon from Vitra – the Uten.Silo is playful, colourful and effortlessly practical. This unique wall organiser was created by Dorothee Becker, and Vitra now produce both the original 1969 version of Uten.Silo and a smaller one dating from 1970. With so many of us spending time working from home in recent months, we think the Uten.Silo provides a great solution for storing all your stationary tidily away.
