We can’t get enough of our wicker, seagrass, and pandan storage boxes and we’ve just created a really nice area in the Saltney store showing what you can do in your lounge if you’re after that Colonial style look. This is what I’d recommend:

-A mix of closed and open wicker storage will hide what’s awkward and highlight what’s beautiful. We’ve used wicker log baskets and segrass magazine racks as well as some lidden pandan boxes for DVD and CD storage in our in-store display.

-Keep children’s toys in a big beautiful wicker or wood storage trunk in the living room. It can serve as a coffee table too. Our large Colonial style wicker chest works a treat!

-Use an oversized wicker or seagrass basket to store magazines and newspapers from the floor and coffee table. Have a clear-out once a week to keep the pile in check. We’ve taken one of our traditional wicker log baskets and used it as an oversized magazine basket in our store display.

-If you’re looking for effective, functional and good-looking storage for your living room, invest in a set of giant rattan boxes or cubes (leather if you prefer a more modern look). They’re perfect for storing away clutter and make great occasional tables too.
