    Storage boxes are a great way to make a statement with something that's practical too.

    Leather Trim French Storage Box, £149, Sylvester Oxford

    I'm a big fan of this storage box; the print is massively eye-catching and I love the mix of materials (wood, leather, canvas, and metal).

    Another gorgeous, timeless piece from Sylvester Oxford. Kitsch Teal Wooden Box, £38.95, HolaPapelMache (etsy)

    Kitsch teal wooden box

    This is marketed primarily as a jewellery box but in reality it could be used for any small trinkets. I think it's fantastic. Colourful. Unique. A real stand out piece. And it's made from reclaimed wood. Minstrel Black and White Cow style Flightcase, from £900, Designer Living Online

    Will Wheat

    William has spent over a decade working with oak and timber doors — the grades and the grain, the construction and ironmongery, the finishes, and, above all, how a door performs once it's hung and facing the British weather. At UK Oak Doors he brings that hands-on knowledge together with a real eye for how a solid oak door should look and last, whether it's a traditional panelled entrance or a fully glazed garden door. His guidance is practical and refreshingly free of jargon — clear, considered advice that helps homeowners and trade buyers alike choose the right door, measure with confidence and fit it properly, so it looks the part and stays that way for years.
