As an interior designer, professional organizer and a busy parent I often find myself wishing for extra storage for my own home and for my clients. Just one more spot for shoes, one more bin for toys or a coffee table that does double duty to store remotes and gaming controllers. I often work with clients who are trying to juggle working while raising small children in smaller than optimal spaces. We want our furniture to do double duty. We need items that are stylish and can hold some extra stuff! Here are a few of my favorite storage furniture options for people who care about style. Enjoy!
Storage Ottomans
This genuine leather ottoman will age beautifully over time taking on patina with heavy use.
Elevated on trendy wooden balls this ottoman with many color choices is designed by star interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel.
The chunky wooden frame keeps this ottoman above the floor and adds some personality The many color choices make this a versatile addition to a living room or family room.
A very cute ottoman at an unbeatable value. Use several in a play room for storage and seating, or one or two next to a fireplace for extra storage.
Storage Benches
This bench is so spacious that I once hid in it while pregnant to scare my co-workers (true story, video provided upon request.) but there is a small option as well incase you don't have the same for it.
This bench works great as shoe storage in an entry way or a s toy chest for a playroom or family room.
If you have very young children and are trying to rid your home off all hard edges you might need a fully upholstered option and this is a great one. It is soft all the way around while still feeling stylish. And with a plethora of fabric choices it can fit seamlessly into any decor style and color scheme.
