When it comes to organizing your things it can take some pretty innovative solutions. I’m not talking about the things you can store in the basement. I’m referring to organizing the things we need immediate access to. The objects around the house that need to be organized for daily living and we often use furniture to help us with these organizing needs.
This Hipster Storage set offered by inmod may be stylish and versatile (in the traditional sense) but it doesn't conceal and is not affordable at $460.
Offered by PotteryBarn this Jameson Storage Bench is versatile but not very affordable at $399.
We need organizing solutions that achieve several different objectives.
- They need to be stylish – these organizing solutions are in plain site of company and part of our daily living space so we need something that is attractive an fits our home’s style and design.
- They need to store a variety of objects – These solutions need to accommodate different objects that have different meaning to many people in the household (see previous post, “What does it mean to be Organized?)
- They need to be space savers – Most of us (I am making a big assumption) live with limited space so we need solutions that optimize what little space we have.
- They need to be versatile – These solutions cannot just be for organizing they need to serve some other purpose. If they are going to occupy precious space in our living space they need to do other functions.
- They need to be affordable – Who doesn’t want something affordable and who has the money these days?
There are a lot of companies and designers out there that aim to offer innovative storage solutions but affordable pricing is another story – they almost all lack affordability. Take a look at these companies and what they have to offer:
Our company (re-function, LLC) is in the process of developing furniture that blends creative design with affordable pricing while solving your storage and organizing needs. Until we roll out our products we feel IKEA offers the best organizing solutions in terms of pricing and design. Let us know if you have found any that meet your expectations in terms of design and price.
