Out of Sight Out of Mind: Furniture for Storage and Organization

Stylish storage furniture for organized and clutter-free living spaces

Do you feel like your house is constantly cluttered and messy? It might be time to invest in some furniture with storage. At The Furniture Mall, we have a wide selection of furniture that can help you get organized and keep your home looking neat and tidy. It's more than dividers for your drawers or extra shelves for your books. Our furniture can help you take advantage of previously unused space and help you keep your home tidy.

Storage Trunks

I recently had a friend tell me, "It's not that we can't clean. We just have nowhere to put anything!" Her home wasn't messy, everything was out of the way, but it was stuffed under couches or stacked in corners. If this sounds like a situation in your home consider looking into storage trunks.

Storage trunks can help you declutter your home by giving you a place to store things out of sight. They come in handy for seasonal items like holiday decorations or extra bedding and towels. They also can be used in any room of the house, without looking out of place. The foot of the bed is a prime spot for a storage trunk, or next to the tv stands.

The Braddick Storage Trunk has 3 storage compartments with hinged tops. The space below is also nice for a place to keep your shoes out of the way or that basket of pet toys that seems to keep growing with new additions. This is the ideal accent piece for a modern farmhouse interior or a cute contemporary cottage.

As you can see, the Ryker Storage Trunk is perfect for storing your collection of board games that you stack precariously in the corner of your living room. The distressed white finish stands out with its diamond-patterned top. This trunk would also look great at the end of a hallway or in an entryway.

Baskets

Baskets are a great way to organize any room in your house, and they come in so many different shapes and sizes. You can use them for anything from storing extra blankets to holding fruit on the counter. Baskets are also great for hiding things away while still keeping them within reach.

These baskets would be perfect for storing extra blankets or towels in a guest room or bathroom. Using them to hold plants is also a way to utilize them as the handles make for easy transportation.

Bookcases

A bookcase is a great way to help organize any room while also adding some extra storage and even décor. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles to help fit your needs. A bookcase can hold anything from books (of course) to games, movies, or even records.

A cabinet is a great way to help organize any room, especially if you need some extra storage that can be hidden away. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles to help fit your needs. A cabinet can hold anything from books to important documents.

Metal filing cabinets get the job done of organizing your files, but they're such an eyesore. This Heartstone Ridge Mobile Filing Cabinet is casual and rustic with its oak finish and antique brass knob hardware. Mail and bills are often discarded on the coffee table once opened, but having a filing cabinet to store them, helps clear them away safely and efficiently.
