Storage & Sideboards

Shelving & Storage

Well-designed shelving and storage furniture makes a home easier to use without compromising its character. From open shelves for books and treasured objects to cabinets that keep everyday belongings out of sight, the right solution can bring order, structure and visual balance to a room.

Our collection includes modular shelving systems, freestanding bookcases, wall-mounted shelves, cabinets, lockers, sideboards, drawers and multifunctional storage furniture. Each piece is selected for its combination of useful capacity, durable construction and considered design.

Discover flexible systems from String Furniture, contemporary Scandinavian storage from Muuto, colourful and functional pieces from HAY, and refined furniture from Case Furniture, Ethnicraft and GUBI.

Designer shelving for every room

Open shelving makes use of vertical space while keeping books, artwork and frequently used objects accessible. Our existing designer shelving collection includes compact wall shelves, freestanding units and configurable systems.

A single shelf can create a useful display above a desk, sideboard or bedside table. Browse our single shelves for smaller installations. Where greater capacity is needed, multiple shelves provide space for books, files, plants and decorative objects.

Modular shelving systems can be adapted to suit a wall and expanded as storage requirements change. They are particularly useful in multipurpose living rooms and home offices because shelves, cupboards, drawers and work surfaces can be combined within one structure.

The String Furniture system is a recognised example of adaptable Scandinavian shelving. Its lightweight side panels can be combined with shelves, cabinets, drawers, desks and magazine racks, allowing the system to change without replacing the entire piece.

Open and closed storage furniture

Open storage keeps objects visible and can make a room feel more personal. Closed storage creates a calmer appearance by concealing practical items. Most rooms benefit from a combination of both.

Our storage furniture includes freestanding cabinets, cupboards and adaptable pieces for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways. For lower storage with a useful display surface, explore our designer sideboards.

Sideboards work particularly well in dining rooms, where they can hold crockery, glassware and table linen. In living rooms, they offer storage for media equipment, games and everyday items while providing a surface for a table lamp, artwork or decorative objects.

A console table is a practical choice for narrow hallways or spaces that need a surface more than enclosed capacity. Our drawers provide organised storage for smaller objects, clothing and paperwork.

For naturally finished cabinets and sideboards, discover Ethnicraft furniture. Muuto offers a contemporary Scandinavian approach, while HAY brings colour and practical versatility to modern storage.

Choosing the right shelving and storage

Start by deciding what needs to be stored. Books require strong shelves with suitable depth, while records, media equipment and display objects have different dimensional requirements. Closed cabinets are useful for paperwork and household items that create visual clutter.

Measure the full area, including skirting boards, sockets, radiators and opening doors. For freestanding furniture, check the width, depth and height as well as the delivery route. Tall shelving should be secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Consider whether your storage requirements may change. A modular system offers greater flexibility than a fixed bookcase because extra shelves or cabinets can often be added later. Fixed storage may be preferable where the required capacity and position are unlikely to change.

In a home office, combine storage with one of our office desks to keep work materials organised. Our home office storage collection includes pieces designed specifically for files, equipment and smaller working spaces.

Styling shelves without creating clutter

Shelves look most balanced when practical storage and display space are considered together. Begin with larger objects, then add smaller items in groups. Leaving some open space prevents the arrangement from feeling overcrowded.

Books can be arranged vertically and horizontally to vary height. Artwork, ceramics and personal objects give shelves character, while boxes and cabinets conceal less decorative necessities. Keep frequently used objects within easy reach and reserve higher shelves for lighter or occasional items.

Lighting can make shelving more useful after dark. A nearby floor lamp can illuminate a broader area, while plug-in wall lights provide flexible light without requiring a surface.

Our shelving and storage collection is intended to support daily life while remaining part of the interior. Whether you need a compact wall shelf, a complete modular system or substantial closed storage, these pieces offer practical organisation with lasting design value.
