How to use Storage in Interior Design
Storage should be practical, but you shouldn’t need to sacrifice on style when trying to organise your interiors!
Make your furniture work harder for you! Functionality is always important, but tick all the boxes and pick storage that will draw your eye and stand out for all the right reasons. By choosing thoughtful and purposeful interior designs and playing with the layout and arrangement of your furniture you can make a bigger impact and get the most out of your home.
Using storage as the focal point in a room you’re able to display your favourite possessions and hide away others that you’d rather not put on show. Curb clutter and showcase objects that are an extension of yourself.
We’ve handpicked a selection of our favourite storage solutions that we know will get your seal of approval. Keep scrolling if you’d love to see more!

From books to potted plants, your chosen collection becomes a feature.

Bottles can be stored in the 6 compartments and glassware, tools and accessories are ready and waiting on the larger shelves.
It’ll be the star of the show at dinner parties and gatherings; prepare drinks on the cabinet top and serve up a selection of fizzy favourites or just pay a quick visit for a nightcap.
5. BePureHome Gracious Display Cabinet
BePureHome Gracious Display Cabinet
Don’t hide your household favourites away in any old cupboard. With dinnerware, barware and crockery costing more than we’d like to admit, don’t conceal them, but let them take pride of place in the kitchen or dining room.
Floating above a slimline frame, the decorative metal and glass unit frames your collection. Set against the black weathered finish, each item will stand out against the dark backdrop and catch your eye as you enter the room.
With three shelves to play with, there’s plenty of space. Not just for fine plates and pots, store books in the living room or home office and jewellery and accessories in the bedroom. As everything is closed away and kept safe behind the magnetic doors, no need for dusting! What a relief that is.
6. Vox Nature Oak Dining Table with Drawers & Built in Trivet
Vox Nature Oak Dining Table with Drawers & Built in Trivet
When we pick out home furniture we often create dead space and don’t properly utilise our square footage. Unfortunately, dining room tables can be one of those furniture designs that take up a huge amount of space. Not so with the Vox Nature Oak Dining Table!
Utilising every inch in the dining room or kitchen, the tabletop features built-in drawers and a recess running straight through the middle. Store cutlery, napkins, bottle openers, straws and other essentials underneath each place setting and keep candle holders, sauces and bottles in the central compartments. The metal covers can even hold hot pots and dishes straight from the oven without hurting the wooden tabletop.
Create an eye-catching arrangement and grow herbs in the middle of the table, ready for everyone to flavour their food or create a floral display and show off your green-fingered skills!
7. Dutchbone Glavo Side Table
Dutchbone Glavo Side Table
Supporting our point that storage solutions shouldn’t sacrifice on style – make a statement in the living room with the Glavo Side Table from Dutchbone.
A pleasure to look at from every angle, draw the eye to a particular corner of the room with an interesting silhouette. Suspended on three glass shelves, store artwork, books, candles, plants and keep drinks close by when you’re enjoying a sit-down.
The walnut finish and retro styling make it an art piece in itself! Compact in size, but making an impact wherever it’s placed, we challenge you to find a side table better!
8. Woood Forrest TV Stand
Woood Forrest TV Stand
We all love to binge-watch boxsets and pop our feet up in front of the box, but sadly our televisions bring with them cables, clutter and can become a total eye-sore if badly managed.
The Woood Forrest TV Stand makes a feature of your home cinema setup. The gorgeous natural mango wood doors and drawers balance out the cold reflective screen above.
With plenty of space for cables, controllers, remotes, TV boxes and consoles, sides can be kept clear. And when everything is neatly hidden away, your living room can be the calm, relaxing hub of the home.
