When using shelves primarily for storage, maximizing functionality while maintaining an organized and visually appealing display is key. Here are some design tips for efficient shelf storage.

More Tips for Styling Shelves

Invest in Adjustable Shelving

Ready to style your shelves like a pro?

Opt for shelves that are adjustable to accommodate items of various sizes. This flexibility allows you to customize the shelving to fit your storage needs. This is especially important if you are using open shelves in the kitchen.

Showcase Favorites

While the primary focus is on storage, use a portion of the shelves to showcase decorative or favorite items. This adds a personal touch and breaks up the utilitarian look.

Rotate Seasonal Items

If you have limited space, consider rotating seasonal items on and off the shelves. Store off-season items in labeled bins to keep the current season's essentials easily accessible.

Go for Colour

A great way to make the most of your shelves here - pack them with books or ceramics but go for consistency in colour.

String added the blue Pocket back in 2015 I believe.

Burgundy is a recently added colour in the Pocket collection. Now, this I would actually team up with white ceramics for contrast. Some of the recently added pieces that have caught my eye are from West Elm.

Stainless steel Pocket? Oh yes! Even better for the open shelving kitchen we were talking about!
