5 stylish storage trunks to carry your clutter 

If it's a distressed, vintage look trunk you want, but don't have the time to thrift one yourself, this trunk is a way to channel the look you want without the stress.

You can easily dress this Braddick trunk up as a side or coffee table if you prefer to keep your storage low-key and use its casual look to integrate it carefully into your space. The three compartments of this trunk each have their own hinges so that you can still keep items on top of it whilst you unload it or fill it. It's a practical, solidly built item that is sure to last you for a long time. 

If you're always entertaining but don't love the idea of a drinks trolley on display all the time, then this trunk is the secret weapon you need for your home. With a built-in wine rack for cheese nights and casters for transportation to different parts of your home, this trunk couldn't be more convenient. It is slightly limited to storing things limited to entertaining, so perhaps not ideal for your throws and blankets, but you're sure to impress your guests with this one. 

This trunk gives the classic look that springs to mind with this sort of storage, and also has lots of practical features too. If you want to keep valuables safely stored, this trunk has a locking system and a very sturdy build, so you can rest easy. You can even use this trunk for travel thanks to its leather handles and wheels, so if you are constantly jetsetting but want a more put together look than a suitcase at home, this will suit you perfectly. 

The detailing on this Pottery Barn trunk goes the extra mile to bring an antique feel to your space. It was distressed wood, buckles and locks and either a black or gold finish, adding a luxurious feel. There's so much functionality with this trunk, as it can also double as a side table, but if you just want it for storage, we love how you can also detach the table base. Stacked with your favorite coffee table books, we think this table can add a real vintage feel to your space. 

Elevate any room instantly with this beautiful, curved storage trunk from Rialto.
