Stylish Storage Solutions at Grandin Road

When we moved to the suburbs of New York City from the City, I couldn’t get over how much space we had in our new house.  Apartment living means a serious lack of places for storing your possessions so it was exciting to have multiple closets, a basement, rooms full of space to put things.  But quickly we have started running out of “public space”, meaning it would be nice not to hide things we use all the time in a closet. 

So I went to check out the terrific home and garden site Grandin Road in hopes of finding some stylish storage solutions and I think I’ve found just the thing!:

The Lauren Storage Ottoman is different from most of the storage ottoman’s I’ve seen online.  Unlike places like Ikea where the ottomans are small, typically squares, this ottoman is almost 5 feet long, just under double the standard ottoman size, which means double the storage. 

I also like the tufted leather.  I have seen leather ottomans before but not with the tufts.  I don’t know if the word classy seems like a silly word to use, but I think this piece is very sleek and would fit in really well with a lot of different home decorating styles.  And for $299 its a fraction of the price you’d pay for something similar at Crate & Barrel.

Grandin Road is also a terrific place to shop for outdoor seating solutions, area rugs, mirrors and much more.
