Shelves & storage

Give books, toys and clothes a place of their own with bookcases, shelves, baskets and wardrobes that make tidying easier.

Choose storage for the things that need a place

Books, toys and clothes have different storage needs. Measure both the furniture’s space and the clear space in front of it. Consider whether your child should be able to reach everyday items, and always follow the manufacturer’s assembly and any wall-fixing instructions.

Toy storage in shelves and baskets

Open shelves can give individual items a regular place, while baskets gather several toys together. Compare shelf dimensions and basket sizes with what you want to store. A wall shelf uses wall space, while a freestanding unit takes up floor space; choose according to the room layout and the model’s mounting instructions.

Choose between a bookcase, wall shelf and storage basket

A bookcase can keep books together, while wall shelves free up floor space and baskets make it easy to gather smaller items. Always check the furniture’s dimensions, load capacity and fixing requirements on the individual product page. For inspiration for the whole room rather than storage alone, explore Furniture, storage & decoration.

A storage pouffe with or without filling?

The PlushNest Mini and Standard models in this selection come as empty covers for your child’s own soft belongings. Filling and soft toys are not included, and the shape depends on the contents. Always check the individual product’s contents and dimensions so that a storage pouffe is not mistaken for a pre-filled pouffe.
