The StyleNest edit of the most unique storage ideas.
From classic trunks to characterful boxes we’ve rounded up the best storage units to keep your home a tidy and happy place.
The Alpha Chest
This multi-drawer sheesham and mango wood Alpha chest is a brilliant way to store arts and craft supplies and the myriad other bits and bobs you need to keep your little one entertained. It is a wonderful solution for children’s storage dilemma as well as being simply gorgeous.
Under Bed Truckle
Whilst these under bed truckles are not a new idea, they still offer great storage for your children’s bedroom. They make the best use of a space which otherwise will get left unused. This one from The Dormy House can either be kept for storage only but it has also been designed to take a mattress for those nights when friends come to stay.
Modular Shelving System
This modular shelving unit is genius and is perfect for making the most out of awkward shaped spaces, for example under stairs. They have 21 different size and shaped boxes which you can put together in any way you wish. They can plan a shelf for you or you can take inspiration from their website. Either way, you will get something fun but seriously stylish.
Wicker Stair Basket
This clever hand-woven wicker basket is perfect for toys and games that little ones leave lying around and will certainly help to make your stairs a safer place.
Animal Storage Boxes
Available in sets of two these fun storage boxes will see little ones having fun clearing up their toys in no time. Made from strong cardboard covered in a Poly Propelene material they can be easily wiped if they become dirty.
Lewes Canvas Trunk
You will find this trunk from Andrew Martin in their side table section and it’s so smart you can see why. However, it does operate as a trunk and is fantastic hidden storage for grown-up spaces. You don’t always have to sacrifice style for utility.
Tidy Books Bookcase in White
This ingenious bookcase allows you to display books so that children can see the front covers, rather than the spine. It will hopefully encourage a real love of books. When children get older, you can turn the panels around to make a sleek looking rack, perfect for CDs or magazines.
Triple Stacking Storage Boxes
The Great little Trading Company
Stackable boxes are ideal to maximise storage in tight spaces and we love these ones from The Great Little Trading Co. You can use them for anything from toys to storage for shoes. Available in three colours and three different sizes, you’ll definitely find a combination that works for you.
Fabler Anka
Practical and fun storage for small pieces. Rather cleverly, this hanging storage unit is suspended by a hook and loop fastener which opens if a child tries to climb up. Safe, fun and practical. A must for all kids rooms.
Solid Oak Chest of Drawers
This solid oak chest of drawers and changer is handcrafted in the UK for The Nursery Window. We love the dovetail joints on the drawers, beautiful English craftsmanship. The big bonus of this chest of drawer is that the changer is a removable piece so when you no longer need it, you can take it off and you’re left with a beautiful piece of furniture which you can enjoy.
LEGO boxes
We love these fun LEGO boxes. Available in a variety of colours and sizes they provide storage solutions for nurserys, games rooms and more and just like the original LEGO bricks they can be stacked and clicked together. Now children can have fun tidying away their rooms.
