Chic and Functional: Decorating with Storage Trunks
Have you noticed trunks popping up everywhere in home decor, especially on Pinterest? They’ve got a certain charm that’s both nostalgic and modern and feel relevant today when people are striving for organization and curation. If you’re considering using them in your own space, here is some inspiration.
Storage trunks have come a long way and look much more modern and stylish. Our Memorize Trunks, available in both medium and large, featuring luxe fabric interiors and custom embroidery, are too upscale to hide away in your closet. Here’s how to make these trunks work as functional decor in your home.
1. In the Kids' Room: Organized Play
A storage trunk in a child's room is a treasure chest of possibilities. It can be a cozy nook for their favorite books, a secure spot for comic book collections, or a compartment for all those Lego sets.
A trunk under a window with a comfy cushion on top can double as the perfect reading spot. Or place it next to a play mat where it can serve as a bench and a storage space for toys. It's all about choosing the right items to store – think complete sets or themed collections that spark joy and creativity.
And for the older kids, a trunk can be a display case for their hobbies, like a mini museum for their sports memorabilia or art supplies, right by their desk or on a shelf.
2. Living Room: Family Game Night
Storage trunks can also be your go-to for family game night, storing family board games, puzzles, or even craft supplies. It's a clever way to keep your living space clutter-free while having everything you love just a step away.
Plus, these trunks can double as unique side tables or coffee tables, adding character and conversation to your living area.
3. Entryway: A Stylish Organizer
A trunk in the entryway can act as an elegant organizer, keeping your space tidy and welcoming. It's the perfect spot for all those things you grab before heading out the door – from keys and sunglasses to hats and scarves.
If you're a pet owner, this is where a trunk truly shines. It can be a dedicated spot for your pet's needs. Think leashes, toys, grooming tools, and treats, all in one place. It's practical for you and your furry friend, making those daily walks and playtimes that much smoother.
