When style meets storage

A beautiful home and a practical home aren’t mutually exclusive. This fresh family home shows how form and function work together, creating a space that’s easy to love and live in.

Work with your walls

Owing to their size, large storage units will inevitably stand out in a room. Nothing wrong with that! If you’re after a more low-key look, however, try matching the wall colour to your storage for a more discreet effect.

Feels like home

Some hooks, some shelves, some drawers, some boxes. Mixing together different types of storage, big and small, is what gives this hallway its casual, inviting appeal. It’s a home you’ll look forward to returning to, the moment you step out the door!

Statement-making storage

Some love modern, others traditional, and many are in between. This dining set balances both: striking lines with soft, rounded grey chairs. Mix and match cube wall shelves for custom units, combining open and closed storage to hide or display items.

Some extra punch

In a room that takes storage seriously, colours and patterns make things feel playful. Different shades of mint pop up throughout, with touches of yellow, burnt orange and red for added warmth.

Behind the sofa

There are many underestimated (and often overlooked) spots for extra storage, and the back of your sofa is one of them. That novel you’ll be curling up with this weekend is just an easy reach away.

More life, less admin

This sleek, modern shelving unit gives the family’s files and paperwork an inspiring glow up. Accessories in white and natural fibres, paired with the wall art above, pull the look together.

Space where you least expect it

Large, robust solutions are step 1 of any home’s storage strategy, but finding and utilising those smaller, less-obvious spots is where things really get interesting. These hidden drawers, for example, maximise every inch of unused space in your kitchen.
