 DVD or clutter storage box Metal is a great material to use in homeware and interior design, not least as it provides a different texture and is very hard wearing, and we see it cropping up in all sorts of ways.
We stumbled upon this vintage storage collection and can’t help but love these old style metal locker boxes, which actually have quite a modern and funky feel to them. This box in particular is sold with a view to being the perfect size for storing all your DVDs (there are others available for CDs), but we’re sure it could be used for umpteen other storage purposes too.
The shiny aluminium metal provides an interesting surface to look at when the box is popped on a shelf or on the floor near your TV, as it shines and glints in the light, and the locker-style opening is a nice added decorative feature.
The vintage aluminium DVD locker box is £51.95 from Culinary Concepts.

 Magnetic spice rack This sleek stainless steel spice rack is designed with magnetic properties. Not only can you pop the six small containers into their own tray to keep them tidy and organised, but the pots will also stick to appliances in your kitchen, such as the front of fridges, freezers or even the radiator.
The secure lid means that the contents won’t come spilling out all over the place but, when you do want to use the herbs in your cooking, the lids have easy-to-use ‘twist and shake’ functions. The lids are also see-through, so you can easily see at a glance what’s inside.
As well as herbs and spices, the tins are the perfect size for storing other cooking ingredients and kitchen bits and pieces, such as small cake decorations, chocolate sprinkles or vanilla dusting powder.
The magnetic spice rack costs £14.99 and is available from Magnatin.

These tiffin carriers are great for carting around all your goodies for a picnic, but you can also use them at home to store cakes or biscuits in.
Made from hard wearing melamine, the carrier features four separate sections that are clamped together with a stainless steel band. Just flip back the clips and, voila, the case is opened.
The bottom three sections of the tiffin are 6cm deep, so there’s a good amount of space available. The top layer is 4cm deep and divided into three useful compartments.
The tiffin box is available from John Lewis in a choice of two colours – Brights, which is pink, green, red and blue, and Woodland, which features more subtle shades of blue and green.

The nautical trend is sweeping through fashion and homewares this season – here’s an unusual way of bringing it into your home.
The base of this quirky red and white stool is designed to look like a funnel found on a boat. A sturdy wooden lid is located at the top of the boat funnel, on which sits a jaunty red and white signal flag canvas cushion, which provides a comfortable seat.
But if you lift up the wooden lid underneath the cushion, down below, in the hollow area of the funnel, is some storage space. This could be used for hiding magazines, children’s toys, secret chocolate stashes or even your laundry.
It’s a fun and unusual piece of furniture and, if you want to add the boat funnel storage stool (which measures 47.5cm by 42cm) to your home, it’s available to purchase from Nautical Living.

 Steel magazine rack From a distance, this looks like a plain white paper bag, the kind you might get given to carry takeaway food in. But on closer inspection, it’s far more hardwearing than a mere paper bag.
Designed by Malin Lundmark for Maze International, the MagBag is actually a contemporary magazine storage rack. Made from a single sheet of lacquered steel, that has been cleverly designed to form the look and shape of a paper carrier bag, the ‘bag’ can be used for all your magazine storage needs.
The handle at the top is decorative, but it also serves the practical purpose of letting you easily pick up your bag of magazines and move them around the house with you. So on a sunny day, if you fancy reading a magazine or two outside with a cup of coffee, you just pick up your MagBag magazine rack and take it with you into the garden.
The MagBag, with its glossy finish, is a great design idea and a real talking point. It’s available to purchase from Red Candy. They also sell a similar re-bag recycling bag too.

 Tin can jar Hot on the heels of the porcelain flour bag container, the glass plastic bag bowl, the porcelain carton milk jug and the ceramic egg box, comes the tin can storage jar.
It looks deceptively like an ordinary tin can with the label removed and even has an intact ringpull on the lid. But there are no baked beans in here!
No, this tin can is a specially crafted storage jar. Made from porcelain, it’s available in the platinum glaze (which really looks the part) or an off-white colour. Use it to store sugar, coffee, tea bags or even biscuits.
The tin can storage jar is available from the Found Home Store for £12.

 Storage boxes I really like the idea of wallpapering the inner back of plain white shelving, so you can see colourful wallpaper showing through, but it can be a bit of a fiddle to do on existing shelves, especially if they’re packed with books.
These bookshelf boxes are great, as they come ready wallpapered, so there’s no hard work involved. You could use them for storing books in, or simply use the shelves for displaying other home accessories and ornaments. The less you put in them, the more the wallpaper will show through.
The bookshelf boxes come in sets of two, in a choice of green or purple, and are available from Camel and Yak.
