5 current storage errors make the owners and how to repair them

Read 3 minutes.

Storage is not only to hide things. It is a question of integrating the features in the even DNA of the design of your home. At Bonito Designs, we often meet houses where the biggest design defect is not the lack of space, but how it is used. Here are five mistakes that we see far too often and how to resolve them intelligently.

Error 1: Type the vertical space

Most owners focus on storage in terms of eyes, leaving the naked or underused walls. But the vertical space contains an unexploited potential, in particular in urban houses where each square thumb counts.

Bonito correction:

Think upwards. Floor cabinets on the ceiling, floating shelves, large shelves, these additions can double your storage without compromising the ground space. For a clean look, we recommend that you keep the football hidden behind the closed panels and use open shelves for items worthy of display.

Error 2: Choose aesthetics rather than practice

We get it! Elegant minimal furniture is trendy.

But often these parts offer little or no storage and add to long -term visual size.

Bonito correction:

Multifunctionality is the key. Opt for parts that are raised on style and utility such as a bed with drawers, a lifting coffee table or a sofa with hidden compartments. These integrated storage hacks allow your space to breathe without sacrificing the design.

Error 3: Centralize any storage

There is a tendency to create a heavy storage area (usually the kitchen or the living room) while neglecting other areas of the house. This often results in certain overloaded and disorderly spaces.

Bonito correction:

Distribute your storage through the house depending on how each space is used. Store sheets in the room, office supplies in study and cleaning the essential elements of the utility. When each room has its own dedicated storage, your house feels more balanced and less loaded.

Error 4: Ignore the entry

It may be the smallest area of the house, but entry plays a big role in the way organized or chaotic things feel.

Bonito correction:

Install a compact unit with a bench, drawers and aerial storage to catch essential daily elements such as keys, masks and shoes. A mirror, ambient lighting and elegant cabinets can even raise a narrow corridor and make it functional.

Error 5: Design for today, not tomorrow

Storage that does not adapt to your changing lifestyle, especially in growing families or hybrid work parameters quickly becomes obsolete.

Bonito correction:

Modular and flexible storage is the way to follow. We recommend adjustable shelves, sliding cabinets and multiple use cupboards that evolve with your needs, whether more clothes, more books or even more children!

Good storage is invisible, it supports your lifestyle while allowing your design to take the projectors. Whether you conceive a compact apartment or a sprawling house, storage should never be a reflection afterwards. With good planning and good design, you can keep your space without congestion and rich in soul.
