10 Modern Storage Solutions Designed for Decor

For those of us who don’t particularly enjoy organizing, a fresh, new storage vessel offers just the right amount of motivation. However, most run of the mill storage baskets – with their blasé clear plastic bodies and industrialist latch closures – leave little to be desired. Instead, go for storage solutions that look the part, allowing you to organize and decorate your space at the same time. To inspire your next bout of reorganization, we’ve curated the ultimate collection of design-forward storage that doubles as modern decor. Find more in the Design Milk Shop!
