It’s easy to get your home organised – the real challenge is keeping it that way. This is exactly where these new, stand-out storage solutions on Galaxus come into play. Not only do they prevent clutter, but they also add some pizzazz to your home.

I’ve been scouring the Galaxus range for pretty, clever storage solutions. From clean shelves to stylish boxes to nifty storage options like yoga mat holders, I’ve found quite a few gems.

1. Stack ’em up

Hay’s Oblong foldable crate is ideal for organising small items such as cosmetics, stationery or kitchen utensils. Made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, it’s lightweight and stackable. The little openings keep the inside of the box nice and airy. It’s perfect for drawers, shelves or as an organiser used anywhere in the home. The best thing about it? It comes in larger sizes too. With handy accessories such as wheels or a lid, you can turn the Oblong into your own mobile multitasker.

2. Practical pockets

Oyoy’s Saga wall pouches might just prove to be trusty organiser buddies for your hallway, bathroom or children’s room. With two spacious compartments, this storage system boasts plenty of room for bits and bobs that are often left lying around. Think hats, brushes and toys. The pouches are fitted with handy loops so they can be hung up on coat racks or wall hooks. They’re made from coated material, so they’ll stay robust and durable. You can also get them in light blue/brown.

3. For your little essentials

This one’s good for items you want to set down straight away. It’s a narrow, metal shelf, just wide enough to hold essentials like your keys, wallet or sunglasses. At the same time, it looks as if it takes up practically no space. The discreet edge keeps everything firmly in place, while the hooks give you the option to hang things up. It’s practical, low-key and pretty.

4. A mini chest of drawers

Time to say goodbye to rummaging around for bits and bobs. This Kylian Sandy smart organiser adds structure to your cables, jewellery and stationery. Made from 60 per cent recycled ABS, these drawers have won me over with their neutral look, stackablility and slim design (8.20 cm deep).

5. Turn your yoga mat into a decorative piece

Looking for a stylish way to store your exercise gear? As you’ve probably realised, it’s slim pickings out there. The exception? This decorative holder made of dark brown or black plywood for your yoga mat. With its natural wood look, it injects warmth into the room. All you have to do is screw it to the wall, pop your mat on top and relax and enjoy your mini home glow-up.

6. A new kind of secret compartment

Fancy a shelf for your books and favourite sneakers that doubles as a work of art? Well, BoxShelf is exactly that. The coolest thing about it is, it partially hides the items it’s storing. This gives it a minimalist look that blends effortlessly into any interior. Mix and match the shelves in whichever way you like and create a wall that’s as unique as your style. They also come in beige, blue, light grey and black.

It doesn’t matter whether you use these shelves as a shoe rack, bedside table or key holder – they’ll look good anywhere.

7. For small rooms with big ambitions

With its round surfaces, the Oto wall shelf is a real attention-grabber. Its unique shape sets it apart from typical angular shelves. Each of the two shelves provides space for everything from books to plants, without seeming too in-your-face. Made from FSC-certified ash wood and steel, the Oto’s impressively stable and versatile.

8. Your go-to for stylish organisation

I don’t know if it’s their shade of «Indian Tan» or their simple shape, but these storage boxes from Blomus radiate calm. Any clutter you don’t want lying around can be simply stashed inside. Since they’re made of PU leather, they look elegant and feel seriously good to boot. And if there’s a messy moment? Stains can simply be wiped off. If it’s another colour you’re after, the Sahla also comes in beige and dark grey.

9. The half-moon look

With its four semi-circular steel shelves and flexible design, the Solis takes your interior to a new level. Each shelf can be fitted individually – just pop the half moon upwards for a soft, curved look or downwards for a contemporary look. The coolest thing? You get to decide how much space to leave between the shelves. Its slim design (35 × 27 × 204 cm) means it fits into any corner, but it also packs a punch when placed next to another shelf.
