In recent years, a lot of homeowners and interior decorators have embraced a more ‘industrial’ look when it comes to decoration. Wire shelving, old rustic storage trunks, and more have been appearing in far more homes and living spaces these days as people find ways to incorporate these staples into their home’s aesthetics. One of the biggest examples of this is home lockers! Lockers have been an increasingly popular sight in many homes these days, for a number of uses other than the most obvious ones. If you find yourself in need of some storage solutions around the home and want to branch out a little from standard cabinets, here’s a few uses for lockers around the home: Streamlining an Entryway: Take a cue from the lockers you might have at work or the gym and, instead of just using them to hang onto your kids’ hockey equipment, keep them right at the front of the entryway/mudroom, or just right by the door, to give everyone a place to keep their coats where you know they won’t lose them! Better yet, getting everyone in the habit of keeping their coats in the same locker every time will help everyone get out the door faster when it’s time to leave in the morning! Just imagine - nobody being late to school anymore, all thanks to lockers! Open Up Your Kitchen: If you always find yourself running out of pantry room, or need to better divide your storage between different cooking implements or ingredients, lockers are a good (and easy-to-clean) solution for hanging onto everything you might need in a kitchen. If you find yourself hard up for floor space, many lockers can be embedded into the wall or hung up like a traditional cupboard would be, which both brings extra storage and a unique look to your kitchen! Winter Storage: If you live somewhere with a long winter, you know how much fun it can be to try and hang onto your hats and gloves during the ‘offseason’. Throw a few small Cubix Lockers in your attic or basement to help give everyone’s winter accessories a place to live until they’re needed again. These are just a few of the ways lockers can be used to increase the storage in your home - why not browse our selection and see if you get inspired?
