What is storage furniture?

Here at Ashley, we’re huge fans of storage furniture. The term “ storage furniture ” refers to any type of furniture that functions as storage. The functional storage could be the primary or secondary purpose of the furniture item. For example, a bookcase or cube storage ’s primary function is storage. But lots of living room storage furniture​ offers storage as a secondary function. A couch or ottoman may open up to show storage beneath the seat, but comfortable seating is the primary purpose. Storage furniture can fit into every room in your home, from the entryway to the bathroom to every bedroom to the living room. Bedroom storage furniture includes things like storage benches, dressers, and armoires. Storage furniture for living rooms could be storage ottomans, console tables, accent cabinets, and TV stands. These kinds of items can help you keep your whole house perfectly organized. From customizable closet systems to jewelry armoires to simple storage boxes , everyone needs high-quality storage furniture in their homes.

For living room storage furniture, we like to store things like throw pillows, blankets, seasonal pillow covers, and other soft items. You can also store entertainment items, such as DVDs, extra remotes, gaming consoles, backup chargers and wires, and more. These kinds of items can look very messy when out in the open, so tucking them away in storage furniture is a stellar way to elevate your space and enjoy a clean aesthetic. We like to use our bedroom storage furniture to store extra sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and even seasonal clothing. Storage furniture is essential in your bedroom if you want to keep your clothes, shoes, and accessories organized. The bathroom is another place with lots of items that can quickly turn into chaos. From extra shampoo to spare toothbrushes to clean towels, all these bathroom essentials need to be neatly stored. Otherwise, your bathroom may look like a disaster stone. Small cubbies, bins, and storage carts are phenomenal for organizing these smaller items.

What kind of storage furniture goes in a hallway​?

You can use almost any kind of storage furniture in your hallway! If you want something with storage drawers​ , we recommend accent cabinets, chests, and console tables. If you prefer open, easy-access storage, cube organizers and bookcases are perfect. Make sure to measure your hallway before making a purchase. You need to keep the walkway clear, so a narrower storage item may be a wise choice. Large ottomans and dressers are usually not ideal for hallways.
