Now, here’s a chic idea for cubby storage – a cubby dresser!
This stylish piece of furniture offers a more sophisticated look compared to a generic-looking shelving storage unit.
At the same time, it still provides portability and a low price tag (only about $100).
You could get a couple of these dressers and have plenty of mudroom storage and create a beautiful-looking entryway.
Add items like family photos, potted plants, a mirror or candles on top and you’re done.

Why I Like this Cubby Dresser
The open shelving gives the Leo Wood credenza a casual yet modern feel. The warm color tones add character to the space, whether you use it in an entryway, hallway or home office.
In short, you can add a lot of style to your space without having to know anything about home decorating. =)
As I mentioned above, you can place stylish furnishings on top. On the other hand, you can add more functional baskets, decorative bowls or other containers to hold small items like keys, cell phones, sunglasses, etc..
If you want to hang coats, hats and bags, I’d suggest using a cubby shelf above or beside the dresser. These have plenty of coat hooks to hold several items at once.
This decorating technique can actually end up being cheaper (and better looking) than installing a wall of bookshelves. Just saying… you don’t have to be a professional designer to make your home look good.
Combine Multiple Cubbies Together
If you need more cubbies, you can simply position two or three pieces side-by-side. All sides are flat, so pieces can fit snugly up against one another.
Furthermore, using multiple dressers makes it easy to customize the size and shape of your cubby storage. They also weigh less and therefore are easier to move.
In fact, one idea that I really like is creating a “storage wall” using 4 dressers. In addition to gaining lots of storage space, you also get a spacious top shelf for displaying family photos, books, artwork, etc..
Furniture-Arranging is So Much Easier!
Using smaller individual pieces gives you the ability to arrange and customize the look of your storage so it uniquely fits your needs. Plus, you don’t need to call in the moving crew!
Winsome Wood makes other matching pieces in their Leo Wood Collection that let you enhance and customize the look of your “mini mudroom”. These include the 4-Shelf Narrow Shelving Unit and 6-Basket Dresser as shown.
