Storage Cubbies to Maximize your Living Space

Are you looking to clean up and store items out of sight but still have those items be easily accessible? Or maybe you are looking for a stylish way to store and display books or a movie collection that isn't a typical bookshelf. Wooden storage cubes are great for openly displaying the previously mentioned items and also give you the ability to integrate different trinkets or other decorative items into the room's décor without having your run of the mill ordinary shelf.

Perfect for any Situation

Cube storage units are incredibly versatile and can fill many different roles in your home, not only can they be used as storage but they can also double as nightstands and depending on the depth and size even a TV stand.

Custom sizes

One of the biggest advantages is their size; storage cube units can be customized in a wide variety of sizes to fit any space in any room in your home, apartment or dorm room. For closet-specific solutions, see our guide on how to maximize your small closet with closet organizers. When using our designer you can specify the number of vertical and horizontal cubes within the unit so you're not stuck with a cookie cutter unit of 3 or 6 cubes.

Ability to Store More

Storage cubbies allow you to store more things than in less space that your traditional bulkier shelving units would. The individual cubes allow you to make the most of both the height and depth creating a more flexible storage option for nearly anything in your home.

Decorate More

The flat surface and unique design of storage cubes allows you to display decorations along the top, or if that is not up your alley you can use the extra space on top for more storage. Most people will use the inner cubes as storage and display photos, flowers, or more practical items along the top.

Expert Tips for Custom Millwork Projects

Always measure twice before ordering custom millwork. Accurate measurements are the single most important factor in ensuring a perfect fit and avoiding costly returns or modifications.
Consider the wood species carefully based on where the millwork will be installed. Exterior applications require rot-resistant species like Spanish Cedar, Cypress, or Teak, while interior projects offer more flexibility in species selection.
If you are unsure about a wood species or style, contact Estate Millwork at 412.641.0177. Our team can recommend options based on your project requirements, climate, and design preferences.
For painted millwork, Poplar is the best value choice because it takes paint smoothly and machines cleanly. Reserve premium species like Walnut and Cherry for stained or clear-coat applications where the natural grain will be visible.
