Storage trunks

Storage trunks are a timeless solution that blends utility and aesthetics. Much more than simple containers, these multifunctional pieces act as key elements in home organization, integrating perfectly into the bedroom alongside comfortable or as coffee tables with extra storage space in the living room.

Available in materials like wood, natural fibers, or velvet, decorative trunks add character and can also be placed in the entryway, complementing a wooden shoe rack and serving as a practical bench for taking off shoes.

Storage trunks: versatility and character in design

The trunk is one of the most functional pieces of furniture, capable of reinventing itself in any room. Far from being a mere storage container, it has evolved into a multifunctional design element that simultaneously serves as a seat, side table, or decorative focal point. Its ample interior capacity makes it the perfect tool for maintaining visual order, concealing everything from bedding and toys to books, while its exterior surface adds texture and warmth, solving both space and style needs in a single piece.

Tips for choosing your trunk

To make the right choice, first define its primary function. If you're looking for a seat for the entryway, ensure the height is comfortable (45-50 cm) and the frame can support weight. If it's going to be a coffee table, it's essential that the top is flat and stable. Measure the available space to maintain proportion with the sofa or bed. As for the material, solid wood offers longevity, while natural fibers provide visual lightness, ideal for small spaces.
