How to style your cabinet
It’s a trusty friend when it comes to keeping things tidy, but a cabinet can also be great for shaping a space to feel at home in. What cabinet type are you? See how you can style your cabinet to do it all: hide the clutter away, put favourites on display, and make it reflect your style just right.
Let’s take care of this
Start by giving your new storage unit a purpose. What in your home is most in need of a bit of order? Try to limit the scope to a few types of items. The placement can give a good idea. By the dining table? Serveware and table textiles. Next to a sofa? Fill it with social activities. The same thinking can be applied to style. A HAVSTA combo has traditional design and detailing, but what is right for your space?

Time to dress up
Glass doors are ideal for things you want to keep an eye on, even show off. Knick-knacks too tiny to arrange on a shelf? Leave it to baskets and boxes – perfect for combining character and order in one. Then, group things that naturally connect to each other. Colours, shapes or type of item that decides the theme. Last but not least, add the decorations and personal stuff that makes this piece expressly yours. Go on, there are no wrongs!

Open up to even more order
Solid doors come with freedom – and responsibility. Naturally you can cram the cabinets full of all clutter in sight, but you’ll thank yourself for using them more wisely. Like sorting things based on activities and themes, from a box of camera accessories to a basket with all things knitting. Super simple to take out, use, and stow back in. Maybe keep an empty basket handy for emergency cleanups, just in case.
Simple plan, stunning storage
What just happened? Let’s recap. Choose the right cabinet based on what you need storage for, how much room you have – and, naturally, go for a look that you like. Sort items on a scale from unsightly to show-off. Group for visual effect. Top off with interior lighting for a shining result. When you’re done, see just how much stuff you were able to transform from untidy mess into a dynamic display! In the process you have not only styled a cabinet, but an entire room.
