Storage furniture

Storage units are designed for small items that can be kept out of sight, but also for items you want to display beautifully. Think of a sideboard for crockery and table linen, a wall cupboard for extra storage space, or a display cabinet in which home accessories are shown to their best advantage. By carefully considering the size, layout and appearance, you can make a choice that you’ll enjoy every day.

Which piece of storage furniture suits your space?

Not every piece of furniture works in the same way in every room. That’s why it helps to first decide where the storage unit will go and what purpose it needs to serve.

If you have more wall space available, a wall cupboard or wall unit could be the answer.

Not only does this provide extra storage space, but it also creates a greater sense of unity in the interior.

How to make a targeted choice

• Measure the available space – Take note of the width, height and depth, as well as the space available for walking and the position of doors or windows.
• Decide what you want to store – Small accessories require a different layout to crockery, electronics or home textiles.
• Choose between open and closed storage space – Open compartments look airier; closed doors create a sense of calm more quickly.
• Match the furniture to your interior – A piece of storage furniture may be functional, but it must also complement the rest of your interior.
