We have so much stuff in this house. Living with 4 small children means lots of toys, games, puzzles, teddies and household bits such as bedding and swim kits. Finding good, spacious storage can be really tough, and now we are in our lovely new home, I want it to look good too!
Minene recently sent us their fabric storage box with lid, which is available in 20 different colours – something to suit any room in any home. We went for the yellow clouds design – bright and cheerful but in keeping with our decor.
The box is incredibly easy to assemble. It comes flat packed, and once opened will pop outwards. The base is secured with a zip to keep the shape, and this can simply be unzipped and flattened for storage. Designed as a bedding box, it will slide easily under a standard single or double bed.
We decided to use the Minene storage box for toys, purely because it is so spacious. Measuring 60x40x25cm, there is plenty of space for loads of toys, even larger ones such as the Fisher Price puppy.
Perfect for keeping in the living room, this is where all the toys get popped at night time, giving us our living room back as a grown up space again. The fact that it has a lid means that everything can be packed away tidily, and I don’t have to spend all evening looking at toys. My one criticism is that the lid is purely material, so it is quite flimsy. It would be great if it had a zip like the box base, or a plastic backing to keep the lid more rigid.
A great height for small people, both Max and Eliza can access the box, even reaching the toys right at the bottom. The children love it, and find it easy to tidy their toys away at the end of the day, as there is so much space for everything. I love it because it holds so much, looks so pretty and has a lid which keeps toys out of sight when not in use.
I love the colour and pattern. Storage is essential with children and I like it when it can compliment a room and not stand out. x

Looks good. We have so many boxes now to try and hide Toddler L’s stuff. Great ways of hiding the clutter but still making them accessible.

We have quite a few Minene storage products around the house to keep my daughter’s ‘stuff’ in. We have a couple of baskets for toys and a fabric storage box with lid for her bibs. I love the patterns and quality 🙂 #TriedTested

I love the colour! Super bright and fun for kids. Its great they can both reach the bottom – we’re had a few episodes with kids tumbling into toy boxes at my mums because it was so deep! #triedtested

I really like the idea of these. I love the bright colours and the print, so funky! I agree, a sturdy lid would be more useful for us so we could stack them but I love that you can flat pack them for ease of storage #triedtested
P.S LOVE your new theme and that logo is ace! xx

Absolutely love the colour and print of this storage box – so pretty! Storage is always a big problem in this house, especially with the amount of toys floating around the living room. I love being able to plonk them all in a box and shut the lid on of an evening to get our adult space back… if only for a few hours! 😉 #TriedTested
this is a really good size – love the design on it too x #triedtested

I love a good storage box! This one looks fab – better than the boring colours that you usually get. I’ll definitely be having a look at these once we’re settled in our new house.
