Do you want a quick and easy, turn-key mudroom solution? How about a storage unit that showcases an elegant, sophisticated design? Plus, you don’t want to pay $1,000’s of dollars for the materials and a contractor to build it.
A Complete Wall Storage System – Ready-to-Assemble!
I have the perfect solution, and it’s called the Sauder Cannery Bridge Bookcase. In fact, when accessorized properly, your guests might not even realize that this bookcase acts as as storage area.
Although this elegant piece of furniture was designed to display books and home decor items, there’s no reason why we can’t turn it into a mudroom, right?
First of all, it already has cubbies built-in. Secondly, the bookcase includes 3 bottom cubbies with doors for storing shoes, bags and more. Third, you can add hooks on the sides of the unit for handing coats, scarves, hats purses and more.
Wall Cubbies Can Save You Money, Without Sacrificing Style.
I love basic wall cubbies like these because they cost less than cabinets. Plus, you can personalize and customize their look to meet your storage and decor needs.
For example, you can usually buy stylish baskets or canvas bins to fit in the cubbies. This designer technique conceals all of your clutter while creating a contemporary, modern look.
You can get baskets to fill all of the cubbies, or just some of them. Keep some spaces open to display photos, books, plants or other decor items. This makes your furniture look more interesting and less like a storage area.
You can use this strategy in the Sauder Cannery Bridge Bookcase because the width (14″ wide) and depth (14.5″ deep) of the cubbies can easily fit baskets. Plus, the shelves are adjustable.
Mudroom Storage… that Doesn’t Look Like a Mudroom.
With its upgraded wood grain finish and attention to details, the Cannery Bridge Bookcase provides the functionality of an IKEA wall unit without looking like one.
For instance, the cabinet door pulls, adjustable shelving and custom legs present a sophisticated appearance. However, this wall unit doesn’t cost much more than the basic-looking Ikea Cube Bookshelf.
