We collect so many personal and treasured belongings over the years, but the accumulation of all of these objects does call for an attractive yet practical storage solution (no matter how charming a household of ‘organised mess’ can be!). Here are our top three ideas for practical storage solutions.
Chichester 3ft Bookcase
A simple solution to storing and displaying items is in a bookcase or dresser. Wall space immediately becomes utilised and these stately pieces furniture are not only limited to one room. Books, picture frames and antiques can be displayed on a bookshelf in a living room, and your favourite novels and personal treasures can be thoughtfully organised on a bookcase in a bedroom, making it easy to find them when you need them. Crockery and tableware for special occasions can be neatly arranged on a kitchen dresser — the possibilities are endless. They also provide a great way to control unwanted clutter in your living space.
1. Shelf indulgence — The benefits of bookcases
We have a large variety of sizes and styles of the Chichester, Henley and Suffolk bookcases, so you are sure to find one to suit your needs. With their beautiful design, these versatile pieces not only create life-long storage, but provide an elegant display of your home’s personality.
The Chichester bookcases and dressers are hand-painted with a seasoned oak top. Their standard colours are either a delicate Shingle or a deeper green Limestone. Or, if you prefer something different, we have over thirty paint colours to choose from. They feature adjustable shelving and beautifully crafted cabinet doors, and the drawers beneath make the perfect storage for books, framed art and personal accessories.
Henley Wine Rack / Bookcase
The Henley bookcase is made from a natural oak and has open shelves, making it perfect for storing other items which you can easily access — perhaps why we think they’re so great at doubling up as wine racks!
2. Dressing for style
The Chichester 4ft Open Rack Dresser
The Henley, Suffolk and Chichester oak dressers can stand proud in any room in your home — living room, dining room, hallway or kitchen. The tops include a series of neat and beautifully constructed storage drawers and pull out serving shelves.
Henley 4ft Glazed Rack Dresser
Inside the Henley dressers, the oak-framed glazed shelves allow fitted dimmable lights to fill the cabinet with a warm, inviting glow, a pleasure to look at as well as to use.
Henley Curved Glazed Rack Dresser
To make the most of small rooms, the Henley corner cupboard is our ideal option. It offers the best use of floor space if positioned in a corner, whilst still providing visual interest. Books, DVDs or other items that would normally create clutter can be stored away, keeping smaller rooms tidy and in turn making them feel larger. Placed next to a comfortable armchair and simple floor lamp, the room will look and feel welcoming and charming.
3. Junk in the trunk
Set of Three Rattan Trunks
For a final tip, and because you can never have too much storage, why not transform smaller, unused spaces into storage solutions? These chic, rattan trunks work wonderfully at combatting clutter that can easily accumulate.
