Spring Cleaning: Storage Solutions

It’s that time of the year again; as winter is slowly drawing to a close, the first hints of spring are in the air. Over the coming weeks, lots of you will be getting ready for a long-awaited spring clean…

For some, the spring clean heralds a big donation of unearthed and unwanted bits and pieces to the local charity shop, but there are always bits and bobs to hold on to; still in need of a home within the home.

What better way to reward your hard work than to splash out on some new storage furniture to hide away some of that clutter which is always unearthed in a thorough spring clean.

In the next two blog posts we will look at the Top 5 Storage Solutions:

1. CD and DVD Storage Furniture

For the avid CD or DVD collector, the question of where to store your prized items is often a tricky one. It’s amazing how quickly they stack up, until you resort to making several multi-coloured towers in the corner of the room because you’ve run out of drawers or shelf space.

Investing in CD and DVD storage furniture can help you keep your collection neat and tidy. If you like to see your entire collection at all times, perhaps the best option would be to buy a bookcase. We stock traditional bookcases in many different heights and widths to suit any space. If you only collect your favourites, you could opt for something like the Rustic Solid Oak Wide Bookcase; or if you’re a dedicated collector, perhaps the Tokyo Solid Oak Tall Bookcase would be more practical.

If you’d prefer the multi-coloured spines to be hidden, then a dedicated piece of CD and DVD storage furniture would be ideal. Take a look at the Alto Solid Oak Media Cabinet – handcrafted from premium grade solid oak throughout it features a large cupboard space with eight compartments for 120 standard CD cases, and a storage area for your Hi-Fi or more CDs!

2. Display Storage Units

Some items in the home may not serve a specific purpose, but deserve to be stored and displayed properly to make the most of their beauty. We all have knickknacks, vases, ornaments, family heirlooms and various curios. If your collection is cluttering up a mantelpiece or windowsill, why not have a look at a safer and more suitable storage solution. Our glazed dressers give you the opportunity to save your display items from dust and damage by putting them behind glass. Many of our dressers and cabinets also incorporate solid oak cupboard spaces and shelves, to store away items that don’t necessarily need displaying.

For items which don’t need the protection of glass doors, discover our selection of E display units. These striking and sturdy units provide shelving with a stylish twist; ideal for displaying eye-catching ornaments in a room with characteristically smart and contemporary decor.

3. Blanket Boxes and Storage Trunks

Some clutter simply needs to be hidden away! In these cases, a storage trunk or chest can be ideal. In most of our ranges, we stock a storage trunk or blanket box type storage unit to complement the style and finish of the collection.

These blanket boxes can be used for pretty much anything. We’ve seen them in use as shoe storage or various sports equipment in the hallway, for blankets and bedding at the foot of the bed, for toys and musical instruments in the kids’ room, or even as a sturdy, multipurpose coffee table in the sitting room. As a simple hidden storage solution, it’s hard to beat!
