Handy Storage Solutions that Add Style to your New Home
We can all agree that there is no such thing as too many storage options. There is something incredibly satisfying about storage that just works. We have picked some of our favourite handy storage solutions that add style to your new home. Plus we give you plenty of real life examples from homes we have built.
Kitchen Containers
This is our ultimate storage pleasure. And with all the trending kitchen restock videos going around, we know we aren’t alone. Keeping your pantry looking neat and tidy can be easily achieved with clear containers and simple labels. Easily identifying your ingredients will ensure cooking is a breeze, and a stylish experience too.
Coffee Zone
Your butlers pantry is the perfect location to set up a coffee zone. Picture your coffee machine displayed on the bench (or your kettle if you are an instant lover), mugs and supplies close by on an overhead shelf and plenty of beach space to perfect your morning brew.
Storage Ottomans
Ottomans are the perfect addition to any living or bedroom space. Whether you want to use it as casual seating, a foot rest or a coffee table – the options for these trendy pieces of furniture are endless. Choose an ottoman with under-lid storage and create the perfect place for storing bedding, blankets, or cushions when they’re not in use.
If built-in is more your style, option for a widow seat that includes storage. This stylish space in our Bridgehampton Display Home offers so much more than a cosy nook.
Mudroom Benches
Mudrooms have become a necessity in so many new homes – especially if you’re building in regional South Australia. Living in the country demands a space where you can store shoes, coats, umbrellas and everything in between. Whether that’s an entire room or a built-in “boot rack” near your garage – add this to your storage wish list right away!
Remember to keep space for a ‘dump bin’. This is basically the place to toss your clutter into a neat space until you can take the time to put it away properly.
Laundry Supplies
Decanting your laundry supplies into large glass jars not only look stylish, they become effortless styling pieces for a room that is often quite drab. This also ensure they are out and ready to use whenever you need them and it is super quick to tell when you need a restock.
Think inside the box
Yes, you read that that correctly. Think about what you features will be helpful for you in your cupboards and drawers. A laundry hamper, tea towel racks, spice drawer, hairdryer hook. The list goes on. Your cabinetry is designed to suit your home and your needs
Built-In Wine Racks
For those wine enthusiasts, a wine rack is a definite. Include this on your list of “must haves” when you’re planning your kitchen and pantry space to ensure it is thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space and to match your style.
Storage Beds
Add a tonne of extra space to each bedroom by investing in bedroom suites with under bed storage. There are so many options for beds with under-bed drawers, so you can make the most of your space without skimping on style! If you already have a bed you love, opt for long and narrow stylish baskets to slide under your bed instead. They are much prettier to elevate your style over the plastic storage tubs on wheels.
Built-In Bookshelves
Whether you’re trying to create that Hamptons style living room, want a functional study space with plenty of storage or are just looking to add a style feature to a space – built-in bookshelves are always a good idea.
