Evaluate Excess Items

Objects collected from travels, gifts we never use but can't bear to throw away, all kinds of items that have a memory, decorative pieces that we really liked but never had the chance to use, old records and CDs, new DVDs, books from our school years, tons of photos that weren't put in albums, clothes that we can't bear to throw away even though they've gotten smaller, we unconsciously reduce the living space in our homes. When we consider the new memories that enter our homes every day, birthday and New Year's gifts, shopping bags and guests who don't come empty-handed, we find ourselves constantly in need of new storage solutions. So, should we throw away all these objects that we can't throw away and don't use in our daily lives, or should we just relax and keep them?

*If you want to display your music archive like a work of art, here is a suggestion that is both stylish and easy to implement: You can turn the black wooden CD units you can find at IKEA into wall art with a stylish frame to display your own music collection, and enjoy viewing your archive on your wall.

*You can use colorful cigar boxes to store jewelry, old letters and cards, ribbons and buttons. Prepare small labels so you don't forget what you put in each one.

* With the return of the vintage trend to our lives from fashion to our homes, all kinds of vintage home accessories and furniture have also gained value. If you want to add some nostalgia to your home with vintage objects, you can use old suitcases and chests as both a coffee table and a storage unit. You can also paint old wooden crates and use them as magazine racks.

*If you need extra storage space in your kitchen, you can design a stylish storage unit from wooden wine crates.

*You can store your old books, letters and cards in authentic bird cages, which will be seen in most decoration addresses this season.

* If you are looking for a different shelving solution, you can create your own shelving unit by placing MDF pieces between the steps of two garden ladders.

*If you want to create a corner in your home where you can daydream by looking out the window, enjoy a book for hours, write by getting inspired by nature or just by the different faces passing by on your street, and if you have a recessed window, you can create a comfortable, cushioned and enjoyable 'window seat'. Window Seats not only add pleasure to your day, they also save your life as a storage unit.

*You can turn your jewelry into an eclectic wall display so that your earrings that you constantly lose and your necklaces that get tangled up are right in front of your eyes and organized. All you need to do is mount a few frames on your wall and use hooks to hold your jewelry.

* Bookworms who do not have enough space for a bookcase or shelves can both save space and utilize their unused fireplaces by placing the books they have been collecting for years into a fireplace they do not use.

* Wicker baskets of all sizes and colors are undoubtedly one of the most practical storage solutions. However, if you do not want to see baskets everywhere in the house, you can create a country style storage solution for yourself from baskets. By placing the same type of wicker baskets inside a white shelf unit, you can obtain a storage solution that is both easy on the eyes and allows you to store your belongings together in the middle.

* Metallic lockers, reminiscent of our school years, are an ideal solution for those who need an organizational unit in their home offices.

* If your mind is on the Aegean holidays all winter long and you are one of those people who collect pebbles, starfish and seashells every time you walk on the beach, you can get a center table with a glass surface and separate compartments inside. You can fill the inside of the table with the holiday memories you want and remember the Aegean coast throughout the winter.

* Stylish ladders, which have started to be used as shelves in home decoration, are also a creative solution for those who are bored with classic shelving units. You can create a different display unit in your kitchen, living room or dining room by placing more than one ladder side by side.

* If you are one of those people who constantly loses your keys, you can organize your keys and keep your bills and mail together with a stylish wooden key holder that you can mount on the wall at the entrance of your house. You can also use the front surface of the wooden unit as a cork board and easily remember what you need to do before leaving the house.

* If you are a wine enthusiast and collect different wines from every city and country you visit, Riviera Maison's rustic basket wine racks can be a stylish storage solution.
