Our top 10 storage ideas to buy online

July 16, 2015 2 Comments

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Our homes may beย getting smaller, but we are accumulating more and more stuff. So rather than hideย it all in the linen cupboard (and make it so full you’re scared to even open it… surely I can’t be the only one!) invest in some great storage options, that are both convenient and beautiful.

Wire Wall Basket fromย Down To The Woods:ย Referring to itself as the magazine holder “not just for magazines” weย recommend popping your fruit and veg, shoes or scarves (preferably not at the same time!) into these convenient, out-of-the-way wall baskets. Coming in five colours and made fromย powder coated metal, each retails for $49.95.

THE SANTIAGOย Medium Box Storage Stand fromย Sagitine:ย Coming in both white and black, this premium storage stand (which comes with six boxes) keeps your much-loved shoes and clothes in flawless preservation. Retailing forย $1,341, itย captures the elegance of good design and the impression of beautiful furniture, while being practical and functional.

Hang Coat Rack With Black Hooks by Established & Sons from Living Edge:ย A gentle pull unfolds this hang coat stand to its full width, allowing for plenty of garments to be stored upon it and a series of low-level hooksย meaningย children can use it too. When closed, the coat stand is compact and neat, easy to store andย transport. It retails for $585.

Odense European Oak Display Cabinet by Bent Design Studio from Huset:ย Combiningย the beauty of natural solid Oak withย contemporary design elements like one-touch pop open drawers and black steel feet, this cabinetย is both stylish and providesย easy, appealing storage. It retailsย forย $1995.

Round Polished Brass Wall Hook from Zakkia:ย Decorate your wall with a group of these in various sizes, or stick to the same size for a clean look. Prices start at $29 for the smallest size.

IKEA PS 2014 corner cabinet from IKEA:ย Taking up little space by fitting snugly into tight corners, it still allows for plenty of practical storage.ย Used either with the included legs or mounted on the wall, it also featuresย adjustable shelves. Coming in both pink and white it retails for $149.
ikea-ps-corner-cabinet-pink__0217784_PE375063_S4Block Table byย Normann Copenhagen from Surrounding:ย A mobile side table on wheels, this light and airyย piece of furniture can be easily moved around using its four handles, which are natural extensions of the legs.

Conveyor Shelving Unit 192cm in Distressed Natural from Freedom:ย This industrial-meets-modern shelving unitย is inspired by plumbing piping and joints and is rendered in matte black powder coated steel.ย Both stylish and functional, it is available in two practical sizes.ย Prices start at $699.

Letterbox kinder egg deliveries from a friend, dressing changes without a flinch and refusing to nap despite all the bribes (check the face on him in pic 3!).

Thanks for all your care and messages/comments for this tired and shaken up mama! Now very relieved and grateful ๐Ÿ™
Before & after It's not just the award winning de Before & after

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Oh what a night. Thankfully Hornsby Hospital were as amazing as always and we avoided stitches. All taped and glued  back together and now to keep him calm for the next few days (๐Ÿคช) and watch for signs of concussion. 

Bravest little patient ever. Yes I've had a ๐Ÿท

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

UPDATE: thanks for all the love! Charlie is so well this morning after a big sleep!
Australian made bathroomware is seriously impressi Australian made bathroomware is seriously impressive!

The new @studio.xox ONLY sells Australian brands. Like @nood_co coloured basins, lead-free eco brass from @faucetstrommen and @lindseywherrett's  ceramic basins made by hand in Tassie.

And as for their Sydney showroom (they also sell online): WOW.

Do I recommend a timber vanity top? A big fat NOP Do I recommend a timber vanity top?

A big fat NOPE! ๐Ÿ’ง 

Which is why we have recently covered ours with a Caesarstone top (thanks to @justinplace_sydney for the advice and supply) and the sweet RELIEF of not having to worry about this high traffic area anymore, I'm telling you!๐Ÿค—

Doesn't matter what they tell you or how many times it's sealed, I'm not sure it's a great idea in a room which is so, well, wet!

I love having the warmth of timber in the bathroom and it's a beautiful piece, but timber on the top? Never again.

Ours probably lasted a year (if that) before it started to go downhill (and we want a good decade out of a bathroom, right?!). 2.5 years on, everything else in this bathroom looks virtually brand new and the water marked vanity top was really letting the side down and making me sad!

But I'm so pleased with this solution, I have to say! Took the plumber less than an hour to remove the sink, install the top and connect the sink back up. We didn't need to move the tap and it isn't too close to the basin.

The kids are allowed to brush their teeth and wash their hands (liquid soap ๐Ÿฅด) in here again and I can leave my hair straightener on there with gay abandon ๐Ÿ˜†

The reflective surface (which I can clean with whatever I like!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป) brightens the room up too!

Next week I'll tell you what I really think of my brass tile trim too ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I am a self confessed storage addict and I completely love this article. I agree that storage needs to be gorgeous and functional. I even love funky boxes for toys and coat stands for dress ups in the kids play room.
