Statement Storage Boxes

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).

24 Draw Chest, £1.213, Sylvester Oxford

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

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

This is a big, bold trunk that makes a statement without being over the top. I think it's great.

Miscellaneous News Print Storage Ottoman, £27.57, Wayfair

You have to love multi-purpose furniture, but this unique piece has three uses. You can store stuff in it. Sit on it. And read it....

Teak Wavy Pot, £68, Puji

I'm a huge fan of the trend for au-naturale wooden pieces - and I love this great teak pot from Puji.
