THE RIGHT STORAGE FOR YOU
There are many different types of storage solutions available and knowing which to go for to suit your needs may not be as obvious as it sounds. For example, shelving isn’t just shelving – there’s modular shelving, adjustable shelving, open shelving and freestanding shelving, with many other options to consider Shelving and sideboards Depending on the space that you have available, shelving is a suitable storage solution for any room. From smaller units to place paperwork and books on, to large wallmounted systems for organising your entire room, shelving is the most versatile solution of them all. Sideboards are ideal for the dining room, living area, office or bedroom and offer plenty of storage space without impeding into your space.
Cabinets and mobile units Cabinets are often found in bedrooms, bathrooms or offices and are perfect for those essentials that you need on hand whilst in a particular room. Our mobile units are mostly smaller in size, but are highly convenient for easy manoeuvring or transferring from room to room. Hooks, racks and stands We sell a wide range of clothes hooks, coat stands, hangers and racks to help you keep your outerwear and clothing organised in style. Hooks, racks and stands are usually situated in hallways, bedrooms or bathrooms and are no longer seen as just functional necessities many look fantastic as decorative items on their own! Don’t forget, we also sell Wardrobes, CD Racks, Laundry Baskets, Magazine Racks, Shoe Racks, TV Stands and Umbrella Stands.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
As with any big purchase, it’s important to take the time to consider if the storage you’ve got your eyes on is suitable for you and your home. We’ve listed three essential factors that will help you tick the boxes and work towards making that final decision. Measurements and space It’s all too easy to get drawn in by appearances, but focusing on the layout of your room and the measurements of your desired storage solution are two considerations you should ideally make before anything else. For example, it might be better to opt for high shelving over a sideboard if you have limited space, however much you love that Punt classic!
Adjustable and mobile storage If you’re a globe trotter or like to rearrange your home on a fairly regular basis, then adjustable or mobile storage might be more convenient for you. Many of our cabinets and shelving units offer adjustable inside shelving, options for mobility or multiple configurations to help you build your storage to your own personal specifications. The Kartell Componibili Round Storage units are some of our bestsellers and offer style, mobility and intelligent design in one. Don’t be afraid to be bold Storage probably isn’t the first thing that you’ll want to consider when furnishing or refurnishing your home, but this doesn’t have to be the case! Rather than thinking of storage as something conventional and necessary, why not try doing something different with your storage? If you’ve got the space, we love the idea of using freestanding shelving as room dividers as an alternative to placing shelving against the wall.
FUNCTIONAL SIMPLICITY
If your main priority is function, then that doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on style! For functional storage that will complement any interior, consider simple lines and shapes, soft wood, neutral tones or crisp black or white. The oak E15 SB05 Imari Chest of Drawers in either a tall or low version is perfectly streamlined and slim, whilst offering plenty of inside space for a variety of storage needs. For something a little smaller, the Ferm Living Enter Wall Box has added something a little different to our collection. Perfect for bathroom or bedroom storage, it has the added appeal of aHay leather handle, whilst still maintaining Colour Carpets a classic and rustic aesthetic. Made from a
recycled Polymer felt finish, the Muuto Restore Storage Basket is perfect for nature lovers and any loose bits and pieces that you want to keep organised in style. One way to keep things tidy in a functional yet intriguing way is by using pocket organisers. One of the most famous of all is the Vitra Uten.Silo, which can be used for decorative purposes, as well as to store stationary, tools, small books and more. The Normann Copenhagen Pocket Organizers are a minimalist delight and although they don’t offer much in terms of storage space, they are perfect for those miscellaneous items that you want to transform into a display.

true to their understated style, Normann Copenhagen are also highly focused on practicality. Their Sko Shoe Rack designed by Simon Legald is robust, simple and typically Scandinavian, with any unnecessary details stripped away. Mobile storage is convenient, adaptable and of course, easy to manoeuvre when necessary. The B-Line Boby Trolley is available in 2-4 sections with a choice of multiple swing-out draws and has a simple, versatile appearance for use wherever you need it the most.
Muuto Mini Stacked Shelving System
RUSTIC LIVING Simple forms, functional features and plenty of wood – we’re feeling inspired by the rustic Scandinavian-inspired look. We can’t get enough of Hay’s simple cleancut designs and the Hay Woody Column High Shelves are a flawless example. Made from durable solid oak, this freestanding ladderinspired shelving unit has the additional appeal of visible joints, helping to give it that extra little bit of character. One of the most iconic Scandinavian storage designs of all time is the String Pocket Shelving unit by Nils Strinning, which looks sophisticated and classic in rich walnut and black. Multiple units of this awardwinning design can be joined together for numerous combinations. There’s nothing quite like the Muuto Mini Stacked Shelving System for transforming your possessions into a beautiful display. Also available in a larger stacked version, these contemporary shelving solutions from Muuto look fantastic anywhere in the home and encourage you to consider the composition of your items. The Reflect Drawer is another favourite from Muuto, thanks to its superb craftsmanship and the natural warmth of the oak wood. Perfect if you’re looking for something practical and spacious.
We’re all for unique details and the Ferm Living Cabinet in mint has plenty of these. Just like the Enter Wall Box, this retro-inspired cabinet has a leather handle, but with the additional charm of a decorative metal back. From the bedroom to the office, this cabinet will complement any setting and create an interesting focal point to be admired within your home. For something a little simpler from Ferm Living, the Enter Magazine Holder made from 100% canvas cotton and leather is ideal for magazines, scarfs, books, shoes or anything else you want to store in a functional and tasteful way. For hanging up your garments, the Swedese Tree Coat Stand is the perfect blend of art and function. Its elegant form and practical nature has helped to make it a staple within many a home as the iconic symbol of the modern Swede. It also works wonderfully as an uncovered decorative object, just like the Muuto The Dots Coat Hooks. Despite their functional purpose, these smooth rounded hooks are designed to be exposed from time to time to be truly appreciated!
DYNAMIC, PRACTICAL AND REVOLUTIONARY
Kartell Bookworm Bookshelf
STATEMENT STORAGE Sometimes, storage isn’t just there to serve its purpose. If you’re looking for a shelving unit, cabinet or bookshelf to become the main focal point of your room, then we have many bold and expressive designs to bring something alternative to your home. Every design has its influences, many of which are often curious and unexpected. The Sancal Pauli Coat Hanger is inspired by Meccano and has a dynamic and variable shape that changes depending on which hanger you use. Playful yet sophisticated, it also looks great as a display piece when not in use. The Cappellini Homage to Mondrian Cabinet 2 is an art-inspired masterpiece. Influenced by and named after artist Piet Mondrian, this colourful cabinet holds compartments of various sizes and is mounted on wheels for easy manoeuvre. Other artistic delights include the La Chance Rocky Credenza, Kartell Bookworm Bookshelf and the Casamania Ruben Valet Stand. The Rocky Credenza plays with the perception of space and volume and looks strikingly different from every angle thanks to its unusual 3D form, whereas the Ruben Valet Stand is in the shape of a stylised deer! Vitra are renowned for their classic yet remarkable designs, two of which include the Eames Hang It All Coat Rack and Corniches Shelves. Truly iconic, the Hang It All was designed in 1953 as a cheerful alternative
to the conventional coat rack and can be mounted in successions on the wall as well as individually. The Corniches Shelves are quite simple as they come, but transform when in use. If you’re inspired by all things mystical and enchanting, then French manufacturer ibride offers the perfect selection. The Chatterton Les Dandys Wall Cabinet features one of many fantastical portraits from their collection of trays and cabinets and hides a foldaway hatch behind its doors. Taking form to a new level, the Junior Small Polar Bear Bookshelf is a 360-degree storage solution in the shape of a polar bear and is ideal for use as a striking focal point within the home or something a little different for animal-loving youngsters. The dreamy Cirrus Small Cloud Shelf is structured in a similar way to the Small Polar Bear Bookshelf and is perfect for ornamental trinkets and display-worthy possessions. It’s also incredibly easy to build!
