It sounds like I was born yesterday, but this really helps protecting my electronics, tapes, tools and trinkets from dust. I can also mark the boxes with category tags and the exact contents. They look really ugly though… Maybe if I buy a bookshelf or other kind of shelf on which I could organize in a more… Symmetric and displaying fashion?
You could use contact paper on the bins to spruce them up a little
I use smaller bins and store them in storage benches and ottomans. I don’t have a couch or chairs, the benches and ottomans are my substitutes for those
I also have smaller bins in most of my cabinets, which may seem excessive but I know where everything is and can quickly grab something without digging for it
What an excellent idea! I was just thinking about getting a new sofa, so now I will add ottomans and smaller benches - with storage - to my list of options! :)
