 Natural wood cube storage Display cubes offer a relaxed alternative to fixed shelving and with this set of six freestanding cubes, you can arrange them in a configuration of your choice.
They come in a natural wood finish, but are ripe for being altered. We love the idea of adding a coat of contrasting coloured paint inside each cube or by sticking in some favourite wallpaper designs.
With the cubes measuring different sizes and depths, there are varying spaces inside to add books, display pictures or stand vases.
The set of six stacking storage display cubes cost £129 from Rockett St George.

Does your house have enough storage space?
Many homes don’t and, in a bid to help people become more organised and make vital use of any space they do have, Clever Closet was formed.
This simple and affordable understairs storage solution is custom-designed and makes valuable use of the wasted space under stairs.
The units are designed to fit under the main stairwell (others can be designed for attic space) and involve slide-out drawer units.
You can choose to have one big drawer, or have the space split into smaller drawers. It’s the ideal place to store shoes and boots, children’s toys, equipment that you don’t need all the time or cleaning products.
There are no drawer handles, so the drawers are hidden from view when not in use.
The units can be installed in a few hours from expert fitters, or if you’re a DIY expert, you can fit them yourself.
It’s a great idea for maximising home storage and for making use of wasted space. Find out more at Clever Closet.

This amazing contemporary coat rack design is inspired by a scribble mark drawn with a calligraphy pen – isn’t it brilliant?
The gentle lines of the pen have been cleverly transformed into a coat rack that looks fluid and effortless as it hangs on the wall. Not surprisingly, the design was created by the same team at HeadSprung who designed the wonderful ribbon coat rack, which has very similar artistic and natural lines.
As well as looking great when mounted on the wall, the Scribble rack serves a truly functional purpose. There’s space to hold at least five coats, plus room for hanging other accessories, such as umbrellas, hats, scarves or even bags.
The Scribble coat rack is made from powder coated steel, comes with all the fixtures and fittings you need to safely attach it to your wall and costs £39.99 from HeadSprung.

 The penguin donkey bookcase The name of this bookcase – the penguin donkey - is a bit of an oxymoron. But there’s a simple reason for it.
No, it’s not a penguin in disguise as a donkey, but a donkey shaped bookcase originally designed to store and showcase classic Penguin Books.
The bookcase was originally designed in 1939 by Egon Riss and made in London by Isokon Plus, a leading form involved in modern architecture and design.
This piece of furniture is made from birch plywood and was created as a way to elegantly store and display a collection of paperback books. It’s a great design and still as perfect for a modern home today as it was in 1939.
The penguin donkey bookcase is available from various retailers, including The Conran Shop, who sell it for £650.

 Hang your coat on a tree Wouldn’t this contemporary coat stand look great in your home?
Styled like a tree, with branches and twigs stemming from the trunk, the sleek metal tree looks great in a hallway or porch as it is. But it’s not just a piece of contemporary sculpture - the tree doubles up as a fun contemporary coat stand.
Hang your coat on one of the branches, pop a hat on a twig, or keep your shopping bag on a branch ready to collect on your way out. The large metal base helps provide stability, so it shouldn’t topple over whilst in use, and you can even use the base as somewhere to leave your shoes when you come in.
The metal tree coat stand currently has 30% off the usual price at Dwell.
Other items are also reduced for a limited time, so do check them out.
