5 Important Units On Your Must Have Storage Furniture Checklist

Even though we love to flip though chic interior magazines and check out the latest trends in home decor, we realize, that interior decoration isn’t all about design ideas. Its practical things that matter and actually dictate how far you can go in terms of styling your home. The tricky part is organizing storage for all your clothes, utensils and belongings, as combining functionality and style can be quite challenging. Here is an important must-have storage furniture checklist to help make your home functional and comfortable.

Shoe rack

Hallway is what creates the first impression about our homes, and can seriously spoil the impression if its messy, untidy and cluttered. That’s why a shoe rack is number one item on your storage furniture checklist. Modern stores will offer you closed or open 3-4 tier shoe racks and cabinets to help you store and keep your shoes in perfect order.

Bookcase

As we proceed to the living room, the next important storage furniture  unit is a bookcase. It’s true that in folio books are becoming rare, but the good news is – you can still use a bookcase as a display stand for photos, memorabilia and accessories. Basicly, a bookcase is a set of shelves that can be used for many purposes – even as a room divider for spacious premises. If your room is small, consider corner shelving units – these are excellent storage i deas for tiny spaces as they hep to keep the center of the room open.

Wall mount shelves

If you own a small house or flat, you should think of maximizing storage capacity by using vertical space. That’s why wall mount shelves are also on our must have storage furniture checklist. If your ceiling is high enough, consider mounting a horizontal shelf along one of the walls – you can use it for storing winter clothes, for example.

Chest of drawers

A chest of drawers is an important storage unit in a bedroom – great for storing clothes, towels, bath robes and bedroom linen, this unit can also be used as a dressing table. The number and the size of drawers may vary – different manufacturers will offer you a vast range of options; you can buy a unit with smaller drawers for storing beauty items and accessories. Hanging a mirror on top of it will help you to visually increase bedroom space.

Wardrobe – a must have on your storage furniture checklist

This is only too obvious, but one storage unit you cannot possibly do without is a wardrobe. If you can’t allocate a separate room for a large walk-in wardrobe – surely, the most convenient option
you can think of, there are a number of other options. You may go for a standalone wardrobe or a build-in wardrobe, a classic unit or a contemporary sliding door version, or maybe ordering a custom made wardrobe will be best in your case – all in all, it will depend on your bedroom size and shape. If it is very small – consider corner arrangements, also, in this case you will have to think of maximizing your bedroom storage capacity and buying a bed with storage and/or other storage furniture.
