Gone are the days of unsightly storage and organization products meant to be stuffed in a closet or hidden away in a pantry. The design gods have officially answered our many pleas, creating chic woven storage bins, pretty trays and decorative bowls, and sleek, minimalist office wares that marry form and function with flying colors. Yes, you can even find aesthetically-pleasing toilet brushes.
While we may have social media and influencer culture to thank for this newfound aesthetic appreciation for utilitarian products, we certainly don’t hate it when it comes to storage solutions. Ahead, Havenly designer Kelsey Fischer shares stylish and functional storage solutions for every room in your home. Be prepared to add to cart.
1. For Everyday Knick-Knacks
Round Storage Coffee Table // Solid La Jolla Baskets // Door Accent Cabinet
From extra throw pillows and blankets to kids toys, board games, and the random DVD relics from 2005, these “everyday” items need a home, too. Fortunately, your accent furniture can help you double down on storage space — look for beautiful lidded baskets, practical storage coffee and accent tables, closed entryway consoles and bar cabinets, and open-top storage benches.
2. For Kitchen Chaos
Rolling Kitchen Cart //Bakers Rack // The Home Edit By IDesign Over-The-Door Organizer
Out of all the rooms in a home, kitchens are basically begging for smart storage solutions (especially if you live in a tiny apartment or condo). From cutlery to small appliances, there are countless odds-and-ends to store or display. Fortunately, you can triple your kitchen storage space with creative buys like rolling kitchen carts, spice and bakers racks, over-the-door organizers, drawer dividers, sleek countertop canisters, and more.
3. For Office Organization
Stow 3-Drawer Filing Cabinet // Matte 3-Tier Rolling Cart // Metal Tiered Shelf Bookcase
With our new WFH life comes a seemingly unending need for office storage. Whether you’re taking calls from your living room couch or are fortunate enough to have a dedicated home office, chances are your former in-office accessories (plus those old idea notebooks and planners that you just can’t toss) need a new home. Office storage essentials like an under-the-desk filing cabinet, handy rolling cart, bookshelf, storage cabinets, and desk accessories are a must.
4. For Bathroom Clutter
Ainsley Over-the-Toilet Ladder // Cosmetics Organizer // Handwoven Rattan Divided Hamper
Between frantic morning routines and rushed post-workout showers, bathrooms are already prone to clutter and chaos. Restore some much-needed order to your space with handy storage solutions like an over-the-toilet ladder, makeup tower, mirrored medicine cabinet, floating shelves, and a divided hamper. These products are especially helpful in small city bathrooms where storage space is essentially nonexistent — when in doubt, utilize wall space!
