Storage has to be one of the biggest obstacles I face when it comes to styling my living room. Getting the balance right between having enough places to stash things away, without loads of clunky furniture, can be tricky. When it comes to storing throws in winter, layering them over the arm of your sofa looks great, but it has its limits.
Typically, you might store extra throws in footstools, baskets, or even a sideboard, but that's not always the best use of space (or easy to reach when you're already comfortable on the couch). And then it hit me: what about a freestanding towel rail, like this one from Habitat? It's essentially the same thing, and there are heaps of different styles to choose from, meaning it's easy to make this living room storage idea look expensive.
