Finding smart storage in unusual spaces

With smart storage ideas, unused (and perhaps unusual) spaces can be put to functional use for storage at home. You just need to find them. Under the sofa? Behind the bed? In the window? Or perhaps choose new furniture that has extra storage built in.

Room for more at the head of the bed

A gap between the wall and the head of the bed leaves room for a row of storage baskets, almost hidden out of sight. With shelves above, there is even more convenient storage space and no need for a bedside table.

How to grow a vertical garden

Organizers make a storage treasure chest

Need storage ideas that also provide comfort? A comfy footstool with storage under the seat is both comfortable and practical in most rooms. Even more so with organizers inside. These are lined with a fabric made from recycled polyester for gentle storage of your belongings.
