Objects Of Design #122: Grey Wally



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
I know, I know ridiculous name but hey it's a good product so we'll overlook that. Following the principle that if there's no more floor space you have to go up, this is will fix on a hall, bedroom, landing wall and you can stuff all manner of things into its pocket. Probably wisest to

Objects Of Design #120: Moose On The Loose



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Moving on from the ubiquitous stag's head, this moose is not just decorative but practical too as it's actually a coat rack. But as it stands out from the wall a little you can also slot an umbrella along the back too. Made from birch, he'll raise a smile as visitors come and go. www.twentytwentyone.com

Objects Of Design #119: Shoe Storage



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Hands up who opens their wardrobe to find a shoe graveyard every morning. Hands up who hasn't spent several minutes with one shoe in one hand franctically scrabbling around trying to find the other. Yes I thought so. This then, is the answer. The clear boxes mean you can see what's there at a glance,

Objects Of Design #118: Large Oak Shelf Ladder



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Of course you can build shelves in your alcoves but that will cost the same as buying these (at least) and you can't take them with you when you move. In addition to that, these have graduated shelves so you could put those bigger books at the bottom and keep the paperbacks above, or use

Objects Of Design #116: Happy Stackable Crates



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
The issue of children's storage is a tricky one, not least because searching for the best storage for all their toys and plastic tat is fraught with difficulty to say the least. Now I'm not say that these smiley faces will encourage them to tidy up but they look quite jolly and the colours are

Objects Of Design#115: Hoxton Shelving Unit



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
These shelves just have a little more pzazz (as my son would say) that your average straight up and down bookshelves. Use them as a room divider between the front and back halves of you knock-through sitting room or just slot them in an alcove and fill them with books or objects of a combination

Objects Of Design #114 Metal Storage Stand



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Made by a relatively new Devon-based company, this set of wrought iron shelves has clean modern lines and will work in any room of the house. It's been styled for the kitchen in this shot, but you can imagine it full of towels in the bathroom, piles of t-shirts in the kids' rooms, or for

Objects Of Design #113: Stacked Shelf System



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
The problem with shelving is that it doesn't matter how carefully you plan it, you will never be able to fit everything. I'm not talking about space but about the objects themselves. Either you make them tall enough for the large books and then there's masses of space waiting to be filled with dust, or

Objects Of Design #112 Cycloc Bike Storage



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Now I did promise that this month you would find storage solutions for almost everything you can think of and that includes bikes. I may not pedal around myself but I know plenty of people who do, and very often their bikes are piled up in the hall just waiting to attack your shins when

Objects Of Design #110: Chunky Blanket Chest



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
My mother has an old blanket box at the end of her bed. It's a very beautiful item that came from my Grandmother and she won't give it to me. In the absence of my very own proper heirloom, I have tracked down these chests from Lombok. This one is made from teak with a

Objects Of Design #109: Library Unit



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
As we may have already discussed, our stuff has a habit of growing, be it shoes or books. This shelf is a very clever idea. You can start off with just the one and as you buy more books (so shoes) so you can build the shelves higher. Like so: See, clever isn't it? Made

Objects Of Design #108: E15 Martha Coat Rack



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Portable Coat Rack Made from 3cm of solid wood that simply leans against the wall, the genius of this coat rack is its portability. If you have a party and lots of guests have coats, you can simply move this into a spare room and pile the coats on to it rather than cluttering up

Objects Of Design #107: M3 Seat/Storage



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Storage space is at a premium for most of us, not least because we seem be incapable of not buying more stuff, which means we need more places to put it, which means we need to buy more  . . . well you get the picture. I once read of a woman who decided at

Objects Of Design #106: First Aid Locker



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
These rather fabulous metal cabinets don't have to be for First Aid kit although there's no reason why they shouldn't be. But the shape means that you can store taller bottles in the middle section and keep the sides for plasters and pots or whatever else you choose to keep in there. That's for your

Objects Of Design #105: Libra Bubbles Wine Rack



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
Summer time and . . . you'll need somewhere to store the bubbles. This aluminium wine rack'll do the job nicely. The small one takes nine bottles and the larger one (which is an extra £153) takes 18, which is, frankly, enough for all but the most prolific of drinkers. I mean wine buffs. Cheers

Objects Of Design #104: Leonhard Pfeifer Farringdon Desk



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
It's true that for many of us a desk, rather than a corner of the kitchen table, is a luxury. But, if you have managed to squeeze a little study space out of a corner of your abode, this desk is the one to put in it. It's sleek, clean lines mean that it will

Objects Of Design #103: Wire Tiered Storage



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
It doesn't matter how minimalist and pared back you think you are being, there is always twice as much stuff to store in a bathroom than you plan for. And, given that most of us have small bathrooms, we need to borrow from Manhattan and when we run out of ground (or in this case

Objects Of Design #102: City Sunday Magazine Rack



AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS
I've never been a huge fan of magazine racks. Partly because no-one can ever be bothered to empty them so the original item, which presumably you searched quite hard to find so that it was something you liked, and that fitted your style, often disappears completely under all the extra papers and magazines piled up
