We have a special storage solution for every storage problem. Our modular open storage systems are designed to help you keep all your belongings in your home organised. Each system has parts such as shelves, frames and cabinets that you can put together in unique combinations to suit your space and needs.

Open storage systems are conceived with the idea that this area of the home is where almost all our daily activities take place. Both spacious and functional at the same time, the open storage system is essential in any type of dwelling, from traditional to open-floor environments with contemporary touches, from villa to studio. Sideboards, consoles, display cabinets and storage systems really allow to organise space and give a cosy feel to an environment. What's more, living area furniture enriches the space with a mix of colours, finishes and materials, making a great contribution to the final result of the interior design project.

Choosing open storage systems for the living area

The living space is a central part of a home and should be organised with the needs of the people living in the home in mind as end users. Therefore, choosing the right pieces of furniture for the living space ensures that a space with a beautiful aesthetic is shaped. The piece of furniture that plays the leading role in the living area is definitely the bookcase, which is essential for storing books as well as for displaying objects such as souvenirs and houseplants. In addition to bookcases, for a living space to look well organised and beautiful, it is also necessary to have open storage systems with doors or drawers.

Ideal for living spaces, this furniture can also be used in kitchens, dining rooms or hallways. In an open space, they contribute to complete the furniture by occupying corners that cannot accommodate large pieces of furniture. A sideboard is a storage unit that has a horizontally elongated shape and is equipped with doors and drawers that double as a countertop that can contain a large number of items as well as display decorative objects such as table lamps, flower pots, picture frames, etc. Unlike sideboards, high cabinets are mostly high and normally wider. Refined and sophisticated showcases are open storage systems closed by glass doors and are perfect for displaying objects, souvenirs, small collections. Finally, another piece of furniture worth mentioning is the dresser. Queen of the bedroom, a chest of drawers, chosen in the style and materials that characterise the living space, adds extra storage space and a useful bench.

Open storage system models

As well as traditional furniture, there is a range of furniture that is equipped to suit a specific purpose. A studied design, usefulness and functionality are the key features on which many companies in this sector manufacture their products. The most admired and sought-after TV cabinets are designed to accommodate the TV and are accessorised in such a way that they can hide the cables and the device itself. CD racks are ideal for those who have a large number of CDs and DVDs, as they ensure that the collection is at hand. Computer cabinets are also a very useful solution, because they allow to place the computer in the living area in a separate, functional and elegant way. Bar cabinets are perfect for those who enjoy entertaining guests, serving drinks or cocktails, or even for those who just need to keep drinks and bartender tools organised. From compact to large models, mobile to folding solutions, bar cabinets are available in a wide range of styles to meet all needs. Dining trolleys are a very useful complement, which becomes necessary even if the place where meals are prepared is far from the dining table or sideboard. Room dividers are another useful element, especially in open-plan spaces. Current models have an attractive and sophisticated design that, combined with the functionality of this element, adds value to the space. Wall cabinets and shelves are a great solution to complete the furnishing project of the living space, especially if you want to leave as much free space on the floor as possible. Storage systems certainly constitute a valid alternative as an "all-in-one" solution that brings together all the furniture needed in a living space.

Open storage systems for organising the hallway space

Open storage systems are very useful in the organisation of hallways or corridors. Hallway units are designed and manufactured to contain all the items that need to be at hand when leaving the house, such as keys, personal belongings, bags, shoes, jackets, umbrellas. In addition, this type of furniture adds style to an often overlooked environment such as the entrance, while at the same time being the business card of the whole house. Alternatively, it is possible to opt for a large wardrobe, possibly custom-made, in order to utilise all the available space, including height. Very useful and functional, shoe cabinets help to keep shoes in good order and are now available in a variety of styles, shapes, colours and materials. Where space permits, storage chests are extremely useful as a complement that doubles as a comfortable seat where shoes can be worn and an extra storage space.

How to organise hallways and halls?

The entrance to a house is usually a small space, but it is a space that serves many different purposes in our daily lives. Therefore, it needs meticulous and punctual organisation to keep everything tidy and within reach when leaving or entering the house. You certainly can't do without a handy coat rack to organise jackets, coats, backpacks and bags. Depending on the surface you have, you can opt for a wall-mounted, free-standing or even ceiling-mounted model. Also, if there are children in the family, you can consider placing the hooks at their height to help them become independent. Umbrella stands can be placed inside the house, near the door, but if possible, it is even better to place them on lending to avoid the risk of the floor getting wet in case it rains. If there is a low cupboard or display cabinet at the entrance, the top can be used as a surface to put storage boxes or pin trays; you might consider hanging a key cabinet on the wall instead. If you need (and have the space for it), you can install a designer bike storage for the interior, an item that is becoming increasingly popular among urban cyclists.

How to organise wardrobes?

A well-organised walk-in wardrobe helps to keep everything neat and tidy thanks to storage boxes of large and small sizes and clothes hangers for hanging clothes. Consider putting a valet stand inside the walk-in wardrobe or in your bedroom to lay out the clothes you use. In wood, metal or plastic, there are shapes to suit all tastes and furnish the environment. Inside the laundry room or bathroom, you cannot do without a laundry container where you can store clothes ready to be washed. This should no longer be considered as a useful complement, but should also be used to decorate the room with the many shapes and colours available on the market.

How to organise the bookcase and living area?

The living area is perhaps the most versatile environment in the house, where the sofa, dining table, shelves, bookcase and TV cabinet will be placed. In the interior, such pieces of furniture can be organised with handy boxes. With bookcases and open shelves, you can also consider placing trinkets and bookends; these objects contribute to the decoration of the environment, whatever their characteristics. The most minimalist and almost invisible ones can help to create compositions with books, so that they become complements to the furniture. Otherwise, bookends can take the form of miniature sculptures and can therefore be used not only for their functional purpose, but also as a decoration.
