Crazy About Cubbies

In my last post, I gave a suggestion for displaying your favorite mementos on your walls with individual wall cubbies, but what if you need more storage than those small cubes can offer? Well, I'm really on a cubby kick right now because they are usually pretty easy to install, incredibly flexible, great for any decor and really easy to keep organized!

Check out the fun examples I found of homeowners and apartment dwellers using cubbies in clever, creative ways. The photo above shows how you can keep large and small items neat and orderly in their own cubbies. Use decorative baskets (matching or not) to corral smaller items and proudly display the larger items as if each cubby is it's own artistic statement.


This photo (above) shows how cubbies can be used to organize the "stuff" of teenage life, including books, magazines, photos, notes from friends and all the mementos of a fun childhood.

And speaking of books, check out this example of an easy-to-organize bookcase. If you look past the books, you can see that this set of cubbies is not pushed against the wall, which means it also serves as a stylish room divider.

If you are thinking of using cubbies in your own home, check back soon for more creative ways to use these unique storage pieces...
