Collection: Cube Storage

What will your cube storage hold?

Cube storage and storage cubes are the most flexible storage there is, and where it goes shapes the size. A kid's room uses a storage cube for toys, books and craft, with fabric boxes to hide the mess. A living room uses a cube storage unit as a low sideboard for media and games. A home office stores folders and supplies in labelled cubes. And an entryway uses a bench-height cube unit for bags and shoes. Decide the room and what goes in each cube, and the size — 4, 8 or 9 cubes — follows.

How do you choose the right cube configuration?

Match the cube count and layout to your space and load. A 4 cube storage unit suits a small spot or a low bench under a window. An 8 cube storage unit in a 2 by 4 layout works as a room divider or a long low unit. A 9 cube unit in a 3 by 3 grid makes a tall feature wall of storage. Cubes are usually around 30 cm square, fitting standard fabric storage boxes. Measure the wall and pick the layout — wide and low, or tall and square — that suits the room.

Open cubes or fabric boxes?

The mix of open and hidden is the point of cube storage. Open cubes display books, plants and decor, and keep everyday items in easy reach. Fabric or canvas boxes slot into the cubes to hide clutter, toys or paperwork behind a tidy front. Most people mix the two — open cubes for display, boxes for mess. Boxes lift out to carry, which suits toy tidy-up and sorting. Buy the unit first, then add the number of boxes you need to hide what you don't want on show.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy cube storage

Here's the part that catches people. The back panel and the board thickness decide whether a cube unit stays square or racks over time — a thin back lets a tall unit lean, so check for 5 mm or thicker. Assemble it against the wall and use the anti-tip anchor, since a loaded tall cube unit can tip, a real risk in a kid's room. Fabric boxes are usually sold separately, so factor those in. Buy on the board and the back panel, then add boxes.

FAQs – get the answers you need

What size cube storage do I need?
A 4 cube unit suits a small spot or low bench; an 8 cube in 2 by 4 works as a divider or long unit; a 9 cube in 3 by 3 makes a tall feature. Match the layout to your wall.

Do fabric boxes come with cube storage?
Usually not — boxes are sold separately so you can choose how many you need. Cubes are around 30 cm square, fitting standard fabric storage boxes.

Can cube storage be used as a room divider?
Yes. An open 8 cube unit with no back panel shows both sides and works well to zone a room while keeping it open and light.

How do I stop a cube unit tipping?
Assemble it against the wall and fit the anti-tip anchor. A tall, loaded cube unit can tip, which matters most in a child's room.

What can I store in cube storage?
Almost anything — books, toys, media, folders, shoes and decor. Open cubes display; fabric boxes hide clutter. It scales to any room by choosing the cube count.
