Decorative Storage & Organizers

Large cabinets with lots of compartments and shelves are a smart choice for family rooms and bedrooms. They provide storage for media equipment, DVDs, board games, or throws, and come in a wide assortment of finishes. Cabinets are typically made of wood, metal, wicker, or laminate. Some models combine enclosed compartments with open shelving, allowing you to enjoy the versatility of displaying accessories, photographs, and collectibles while hiding away messes behind the compartment doors.

Overstock's collection of decorative shelves and shelf units features many different designs and styles. Floating shelves are suspended on the wall using a hidden support system, providing the illusion that they are floating in space. Their sleek, streamlined look makes floating shelves ideal for contemporary decor. A ladder-style shelf is a space-efficient storage option that leans against the wall and provides various levels for displaying books, plants, or any items you choose, while a triangular shelf unit crafted from wicker or metal fits neatly into an unused corner. Triangular shelving helps break up the straight lines of a room and maximizes every inch of floor space, making it a good option for small rooms.

Upholstered ottomans or stools with interior storage compartments help control clutter while providing extra seating and a place to prop up your feet at the end of a long day. Lifting lids reveal a compartment for stashing magazines, pillows, and remote controls. Storage ottomans can also serve as an alternative to a traditional coffee table, especially when topped with a tray. Upholstered storage ottomans and stools come in a wide assortment of patterns and fabrics to integrate with your existing furnishings and suit your lifestyle. Models covered with rugged fabrics that stand up to daily wear and tear are ideal for use in homes with active families; fine linens and premium fabrics are most appropriate for adult bedrooms and formal living areas. Storage ottomans and stools typically feature a wooden frame to ensure long-lasting durability.

From cubes that keep toys from taking over your family room to fabric models that are excellent for holding office and craft supplies, storage bins are handy additions to almost any room. Patterned fabric bins can enliven the space and add visual interest with stripes, geometrics, and floral imagery. For children's rooms, lightweight bins are excellent for keeping shoes, clothing, toys, and school supplies well organized and easy to find. Bins with light lids and open-top designs help protect little fingers from getting pinched. In a craft room, bins are an easy way to keep all the components of a project in one convenient place, and a couple of wicker bins inside freestanding shelf units are great for storing rolled towels, toiletries, and other essentials in the bathroom.

A wooden bench with built-in storage makes a useful addition to a mudroom, foyer, or kitchen. Many units have divided lower compartments that provide each member of your household with their own space for stashing shoes or backpacks as they enter your home. The flat surface also offers a handy place for sitting to remove your shoes, helping prevent outdoor debris from marring clean floors. Some benches include padded cushions to enhance their comfort.

A sturdy coat rack or hall tree just inside the front door offers a convenient spot for dropping off bulky jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, and other outerwear. Most models are made from wood or metal. Some include designated spaces for holding wet umbrellas, preventing water from dripping on your floors on rainy days.

A metal or wood wall organizer rack installed in your office, family room, or foyer is excellent for keeping wallets, pet leashes, mail, and other easy-to-misplace items. Models with hooks provide a handy spot for hanging keys, helping prevent a last-minute hunt on hectic mornings. A wood or metal wall-mounted rack can hold spices or oils in the kitchen, freeing up counter space. A standing rack placed in a sunny window can house a mini herb garden. Wall racks with vertical rails for holding rolls of gift wrap offer a clever way to keep wrapping paper in pristine condition until you're ready to wrap a present.

Often crafted from simple materials such as weathered iron or unfinished natural wood, rustic storage pieces give your home plenty of character and a relaxed ambiance. A mail organizer made from wood with leather pouches resembling saddle bags lends farmhouse charm to your country decor. Industrial spaces capture the utilitarian style of factories and lofts. Corrugated metal and wood pallets, crates or other repurposed materials are perfect materials for industrial-style storage items. Cabinets with louvered doors, wicker laundry hampers, and shelves painted in vibrant shades of blues and turquoise evoke sea-side locales and complement coastal decor.

Clean lines and minimal ornamentation are hallmarks of contemporary style. Practicality is key to this unfussy design aesthetic, and low, streamlined profiles are a frequent design element of contemporary cabinetry. Clean-lined contemporary bookcases and multipurpose cabinets with exposed shelves for storing DVDs and CDs give you easy access to your favorite movies and tunes. Simple floating shelves and open shelf units with fabric storage containers also complement contemporary decor thanks to their minimalist look.

Shabby chic decor straddles the boundaries of casual and sophisticated home design styles. Shabby chic storage cabinets and shelves typically feature a time-worn appearance, creating the illusion that these new pieces are vintage treasures that have aged gracefully. Chipped painted finishes are common, and pieces often feature deliberate distressing that mimics natural deterioration. Fabric storage bins in elegant damask patterns capture this pretty, retro-inspired aesthetic. Shabby chic storage furniture often combines aged finishes with glamorous accents, such as crystal drawer pulls.
