Forget a Junk Drawer — Here's Why You Need a Junk Trunk (Plus, the Coolest Styles to Shop)

Living room with leather curved sofa, timber floors, an armchair, gallery wall of maps, and metal storage trunk as the coffee table.

From spare batteries and miscellaneous cables, to sticky notes and old takeaway menus, the kitchen ‘junk drawer’ is generally where you’ll find a whole load of random items that wouldn’t otherwise have a home. And if you’re sappy like me, it might also be where you keep sentimental items like ancient holiday souvenirs and sweet handwritten notes.

But what if I told you that I’ve found something that feels better suited to the job in practically every possible way? Enter: the metal storage trunk — or ‘junk trunk’, as we've affectionately dubbed it here at Livingetc. The perfect place to curate your precious collection of clutter, these trending trunks feel like the perfect blend of nostalgia (think vintage travel trunks) and modern style.
