Unfortunately, storage solutions are not always charming or beautiful—think big plastic boxes—so they are often pushed under the bed or hidden in a closet or basement. However, this need not be the case. 

For those who want to make the organization useful and interesting, we have collected 15 storage containers that you don't mind showing off. 

This wall-mounted designer storage container from CB2 has powder-coated steel walls and clean lines, which is both a shelf and a cabinet. It is perfect for entrance passages, small bedrooms or to add to strange kitchen walls.

Critics called the shelf “stylish and beautiful” and said it “can help alleviate storage problems in other areas such as closets and drawers”.

I like these cylindrical lockers. They are cute, bright, and very practical. The device is made of bioplastics in Italy, durable and versatile. Each one can increase the storage space three times, you can imagine using sliding doors and shelves. 

I think these are very suitable for small spaces-such as dormitories and studio apartments-and an interesting addition to children's rooms or offices.

This soft-toned velvet storage stool is comfortable and practical, and can be leaned against the foot of the bed or on the wall. Its practicality is doubled, and it offers storage and seats in five colors, from blush to emerald green.

This set of three glass jars is the smallest, suitable for your storage room or countertop, and very original. The jars are big enough to hold rice, noodles, and even biscuits, but what's really cool is how narrow the top of each jar is, you use a cork ball to seal it instead of the lid.

I have seen this metal storage trolley everywhere. It has multiple functions: as a linen trolley in the bathroom, as a bar trolley in the first apartment, and as a supply trolley in a salon. It can really do all of this, and it's super affordable. In addition, I like popular colors. These colors are cyan, sage, mint, blush, black, gray, and white.

Although this product is sold as a shoe rack, its function is much more than just accommodating six pairs of favorite shoes. You can use a bamboo shelf to store books or plants, or you can add a basket to store items such as keys and mobile phone chargers. 

The shelf space on the left is ideal for larger items stored upright, such as umbrellas or yoga mats, as well as walking sticks, art collections, and tall backpacks.

These ingenious translucent storage containers are small, but they add a bright pop of color to any room. They are best used to fix earrings or rings in the dressing room, or to fix paper clips or tacks in the office. This is a young and modern way of keeping small things in order.

This espresso-dyed pine coffee table is an excellent storage solution for pillows and thick blankets. It has a nearly perfect 4.8-star rating on HSN, and many critics praised its ease of assembly and overall sturdiness. It is made of black metal hardware and is equipped with a spring hinge that can be opened and closed smoothly every time.

I haven't seen many footstools, especially those with storage functions, which sit on the lap instead of on the floor. It can be nice to have a height to make it easier to access what you hide inside, and to use the top as a side table or even a seat in some cases. 

The golden legs are thin and strong, so the plush, velvety footstool will not take up much floor space and will not make the room feel cluttered. Moreover, as a seat, the ottoman can hold up to 300 pounds.

These gorgeous hand-woven baskets from Colombia add a touch of drama to any room with their natural and black patterns and sculptural shapes. Use two different sizes of them to store extra toilet paper rolls, blankets, and even Lego bricks.

This simple cylindrical trash can is almost 2 feet high and can be used to store many things in the home. It also has a flat cover that fits snugly, allowing you to use it as a small tabletop or as a separate storage area.

Thanks to the durable paint and wooden cover, you can use it in muddy transition areas or even outdoors (although I will try to keep it in a dry place).

I wrote about my eternal love for Baggu, and I use the brand's storage boxes several times a week-seriously! 

I like to pack extra clothes in smaller cubes so that I can change them after teaching a bicycle lesson or spending the night at my boyfriend’s house. The larger cubes are perfect to fit in a suitcase or hiking bag to stay organized. I also use mine to store out-of-season hats and gloves.

Storage cubes are the Swiss Army Knife of the family-they have many uses, can be laid flat when not in use, and take up only a small part of the closet space. 

These cute cubes with animated animals are perfect for nurseries, children’s rooms or playrooms. They can hold baby wipes and diapers, clothing, books, and of course toys. Animal graphics add whimsy instead of what you want to hide in the closet.

Natural look is very popular now, this top round woven seaweed storage footstool can help you create this atmosphere in your living room or living room. Its flat cover makes it a good place to put a cup of tea while watching TV, but it can also hide a large area to store books, blankets, toys, etc.

With white finishes and rounded edges, this beautiful sideboard is eclectic and modern. It is a great addition to formal dining rooms, living spaces and even offices.

Critics say that it takes several hours to assemble the sideboard at home, but it "has a sharp appearance, the drawers close smoothly, and the side shelves are adjustable."
