Stylish & Functional Storage Solutions for Your Home
Creating practical and stylish storage in your home can be a challenge. Busy home life comes with its fair share of household clutter and finding a place for everything can be tricky to maintain. The solution? Practical and versatile storage furniture that makes life a little easier for the whole family.
Shoe Cupboards and Benches
The hallway is a high traffic area in your home, and often the dumping ground for shoes, coats, and bags. If you do not have any built-in cupboards, then you will need some hallway storage ideas that will work in the space you have available. For instance, if you have a long and narrow hall then perhaps the Iliana tall and slim unit is ideal for hallway shoe storage.
Alternatively, to avoid the dreaded shoe pile then why not opt for a storage bench, which doubles up as a handy seat. If you need to an area for hanging coats and bags, we have a selection of stylish coat racks for the hallway.
Versatile Cube Storage
The Laura James Cara cube storage range offers a selection of practical cube style designs ideal for any room in the home. From hallways and living rooms to bedroom storage for kids the Cara comes in a variety of sizes making it a versatile choice. If you need to maximise floor space in a study or small bedroom then the tall 4 tier or 3 tier units offer ample storage for things like accessories or clutter such as phone chargers and various bits and bobs. Ideal for kids bedrooms the Cara 9 cube storage unit includes 4 fabric storage boxes to keep toys and games organised.
For larger spaces the Cara 10 cube is perfect. The ladder design allows this unit to fit under stairs or eaves, combining shelving and storage boxes to help you hide the clutter and display your favourite decorative pieces. At Laura James we sell the Cara storage boxes separately so you can buy additional storage if needed.
Sideboards
A sideboard is a worthy investment and one that will stand the test of time. A versatile piece of furniture that is perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms and playrooms. Whether you want extra space for crockery, drinks and glassware or need sideboard storage for board games and toys and everything in between, a sideboard is functional without compromising on style.
For a stand out piece the Lua glass fronted tall cabinet is beautiful and contemporary and features shelves inside as well as a handy bottom drawer. The Bampton sideboard is more classic and offers spacious shelving and drawers. We also have the option of a smaller 2 door sideboards with the Jack, Gloria and Iliana styles.
Bookcases and Shelves
Why not use wall space for storage? Bookcases and shelves can work in any room depending on size and can be revamped many times by restyling the items on the shelves. The Bampton bookcase features plenty of shelves for storing books, baskets and decorative pieces. For smaller spaces the Harris floating shelf is the perfect way to squeeze in a little extra storage above a desk or on a small wall.
Bedroom storage
Unless you have the luxury of a separate dressing room or walk in wardrobe, bedroom storage is essential. A wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables, and dressing table if you have space will help keep your clothing, accessories and toiletries organised.
Our range of bedroom furniture sets are perfect if you want to create a coherent look. The Essie range of bedroom furniture comes in black and white and features a wardrobe, drawers and bedside tables. The simple and modern design of the Essie makes it ideal for a kid’s bedroom where the look and feel can change as they grow older.
A blanket box can also be a handy piece of storage for the bedroom if you want to store, toys, linens or seasonal clothing and it can also be used as a bedside table.
For maximum storage our range of ottoman beds offers plenty of hidden storage without taking up additional floor space.
