A simple storage solution is making a comeback this year, the blanket box. For those who like the extra detail there is also the option for storage trunks, complete with straps and locks, giving a colonial feel. If extra storage is needed but space is at a premium or you have an area under a window that just needs an extra something, blanket boxes are perfect, they can be used as a seat and also for storing bedding (as the name suggests), or anything you would prefer hidden from view. There is a wide variety to choose from, you can choose from the simple yet elegant wicker style to solid wood.  Depending on the style of your room you may choose to go for a luxury leather trunk or an ornate carved design. They are also great in children’s bedrooms, providing a much needed area for hiding the myriad of toys and games, plus the cuddly toys.  The children’s boxes and trunks can feature fun pictures or you could even buy a plain blanket box and add your own stencils.
