Organize in Style With These 10 Modern Storage Solutions

As we’re at the end of January, let’s all come clean – our mission to completely reorganize every space in our homes for the new year has lost some steam, right? Thankfully, there’s nothing like a shiny new storage solution to reignite the desire to sort (keep vs. give away), save (thoughtfully reconsider the “essential” items), and store (put said items in a beautiful container) all our belongings. But not just any old bin will do, the perfect storage solutions should hold all of your odds and ends, sure, but they should also contribute to the overall aesthetic of your space. We rounded up our favorite modern storage solutions that do just that.

Dosa Storage Box by House Raccoon

Dosa Storage Box by House Raccoon

The adorably petite Dosa Storage Box by House Raccoon is the perfect place to store your tiny items and trinkets. Handmade in Belgium using Jesmonite, every box is totally unique, making it something you’ll want to keep for ages. House Raccoon’s range of muted and minimalist color options like white and black marble, millennial pink, and (my personal favorite) olive green mean there’s a shade for every decor style. The best part? House Raccoon plants a tree for every item sold!

Medium Storage Bins - Set of 2 by Open Spaces

Medium Storage Bins - Set of 2 by Open Spaces

New to the Design Milk Shop, these Medium Storage Bins by Open Spaces tick all of the boxes (no pun intended). They’re spacious enough to hold all of the things, durably made of hard plastic that’s easy to clean, stackable, and my personal favorite – incredibly minimal and chic. The circle feature at the face of each bin gives you a peek of what’s inside and also makes them easy to grab and pull off of shelves. Choose between cream or light blue colorways for a look that works for your space. Watch our latest TikTok for ideas on how to use these!
