Wire Storage Cubes

One of the choices that we have when it comes to storing things in our homes or garages is the wire storage cube. Many people like this option because it allows them to be able to easily see what they’ve stored at a glance, and the wire even allows some things to be hung on the sides of the cubes. Though they aren’t appropriate for every storage situation, wire cubes can be perfect for some. They don’t have to be a non-decorative choice, either. With a little creativity, you can often blend them well with the design of a room or even make them stand out in a quirky but pleasing way.

One of the best places for a wire storage cube is in a bedroom. Though people don’t often see it as a good choice for a small child’s room, it actually can be if you get the right kind. The best kind of wire cubes to use in a small child’s room are the ones where the mesh is thick and more tightly woven, and where the corners are covered with a smooth metal or plastic to guard against protruding wire. Using these types of wire cubes in a child’s room means that you can still easily see what is stored, and you’re freeing up valuable closet space. The popular discount department store Target sells stackable wire cubes that fit this design. They sell in sets of 6 cubes that can snap together, and they cost about $15.

For an older child or adult’s room, you don’t need to be as careful about the design of any wire storage cube that you use. You can use a wide mesh or a tight mesh, depending on what you prefer. Many people use the wider mesh so that they can place objects inside of the cubes, but still use the inside or the outside of them to hang items as well. This can be especially handy for a teenager, since the things that they keep in their bedrooms often easily overflow their closets. When they can store things like shoes or CD’s in their wire cubes and also hang scarves or jewelry on the outside, things tend to look a bit neater. This is even more beneficial when it comes to small dorm rooms.

The wire storage cube is a popular garage item. Many people find that stacking wire cubes against the wall of a garage can keep things off the ground but still make them easily reachable. Since things that are stored in garages often tend to be heavy, however, a thicker wire mesh is usually warranted for these types of storage cubes. Home stores such as Lowe’s or Home Depot are good places to find these, and they’ll usually run in price from $15 to $25 per cube, depending on wire thickness.

Shopping online for your wire storage cube needs can often save you money, since online stores don’t have the overhead costs.
