Small Space Storage Furniture

Small-Space Storage Furniture

Hide away clutter and make space for living with small-space storage furniture. Discover small storage furniture that fits the style and square footage of your room, or mix and match pieces to build a customized storage unit. For an organized greeting when you walk in the door, add a small storage bench to your entryway. Keep shoes and umbrellas inside to keep the front hall clear of clutter. In the living room, consider a small storage ottoman beside your living room sofa. Like a storage bench, this piece creates a place to tuck throws and decorative pillows out of sight, as well as a spot to put up your feet. To create a scaled-down entertainment center, flank your TV stand with a pair of small ladder shelves. Stow gadgets, remotes and other technological gear in the cabinets or drawers and leave the shelves clear for books, potted plants and other decor. Small-space shelving is also a great way to partition areas in open-concept homes. Modular shelves let you create the configuration that works best for you, while small bookcases with open-shelving create a more fluid boundary. Add a few baskets to stash unsightly objects, such as headphones or cables from the home office space, to create a more finished look. Need more storage space in your eating area? A small storage cabinet in the dining room takes the place of a traditional buffet or china cabinet—place dinnerware and flatware inside, then use the surface for serving when company comes. Small-space storage furniture is just one way to maximize your apartment or home's potential; pair these pieces with other storage solutions for an organization makeover.
