Finding a designated nook, shelf, or cove for storing all your random odds and ends can be relatively difficult, especially if you’re living in a small space. While there are a handful of traditional storage solutions at our disposal, we’re all for finding fresh ways to store our gear—read: style-focused methods that don’t double as an eyesore. So we scoured the web for a little inspiration and here’s what we learned.
As important as the storage vessel itself is, the items within are equally so—as proven by this eclectically sweet spot curated by designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh. A seemingly standard cuby unit boasts a vintage-esque composition that lends itself to the worldly qualities of the piece. Within said shelf, found objects of a vibrant color and make transform an ordinary concept into a statement spot.

While there is nothing revolutionary or new about colorful floating shelves, we just can’t get enough of the stunning effect they can have in a room.
