Linen Book-Style Storage Box – Grey

Sold as a set of two, these decorative boxes are shaped to look like classic hardback books, giving you tidy storage that sits happily on open display. Each one is wrapped in smooth grey linen-effect canvas with serif lettering along the spine, so closed they read as bound volumes. The larger box measures W30 x D21 x H7cm and the smaller W26 x D17 x H5cm, with the pair weighing around 1.04kg. Both open on a hinged lid and are lined inside with soft velvet in a warm terracotta tone, giving a padded space for smaller items.

We think these work well on bookshelves, console tables, bedside tables or a coffee table where you want to hide clutter without adding a visible plastic tub. Use them to keep remotes, chargers, keys, jewellery, stationery or keepsakes close to hand yet out of sight. The muted grey exterior suits both contemporary and traditional rooms, and stacking the two sizes together adds a bit of height to a shelf styling arrangement. They also make a neat spot for storing small treasures on a dressing table.

The base is built from wood for a firm, structured shell that holds its shape, then covered in the linen-effect canvas for a smooth matt finish. The velvet lining protects delicate contents and softens the interior. To care for them, wipe the outside with a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid soaking the fabric, as excess water can mark the canvas. Keep the boxes away from direct damp and steam, and dust the velvet lining occasionally with a soft brush. With gentle handling this book-style pair will keep its tidy look on your shelves for years.
