As a small home dweller, I’m on intimate terms with the art of storage. Built-in shelves and cupboards, bureaus, chests of drawers — you name it, I’ve filled it. So at this point, I’m running out of accessible nooks to squirrel away my worldly goods.
And then I came across Sofa.com's Ander Bench. In my quest for new, slightly sneaky storage ideas, I’ve become mildly obsessed with storage benches — particularly the beautifully upholstered ones that hide a surprising amount of stuff while still being genuinely comfortable to sit on. Pop it by the front door and cram it with shoes, park it at the end of the bed, and let it swallow up spare linens, store game controllers under your TV without having them ruin the aesthetic of your living space; the possibilities are honestly endless.
