SIDEBOARD SOLUTION

Sideboards have been around for a long time, because they work so well in a living or dining room. Designs change, but they still offer great storage for glassware, cutlery, china and general paraphernalia.

A BIT ON THE SIDE

Side tables are useful for drinks, but why not buy one that has an integral magazine rack too? Then you have everything at hand to relax.

DOUBLE DUTY

Storage benches are another piece that can double up, as a seat, but with a lift-up lid to store things such as spare cushions and magazines inside.

SHELF LIFE

This piece is timeless, made from rosewood, with touches of sophistication in the marble shelves and brass trim. It’s neat and won’t take up a lot of space.

STEP UP YOUR STORAGE

A great solution for a small space is a ladder bookcase. It doesn’t take up much room as the clever design leans against the wall and the open shelves and pale colour keep it looking light.
