Note Design Studio has cooked up a lot of new products for Milan Design Week, but my favorite has to be this wall storage unit for Seletti . Called  Suburbia , the unit is made of wood with brass detail and features a cork board, built-in mirror, hooks, shelving, and a selection of various sized cubbies to hold anything from pens, to makeup brushes, craft supplies, or even toys. If you look closely, you’ll see that the entire unit resembles an aerial view of a town. Each cubby represents a house or sections of a building. So cute!

Suburbia Modern Wall Storage

Dressing up a bare wall with a large shelving unit can totally change the decor of a room – in a good way, of course! Not only does it enhance the open wall, but it provides endless decor options. You can fill with it colorful books of all shapes and sizes, souvenirs from your travels, family portraits, drawings and sculptures made by your children.

To take a few tips from the images above, you can put storage boxes – to have storage within storage, arrange canvas paintings, display collectibles, typography and to store your record collection.

As far as installation goes, you can install a built-in shelving system or just place a free-standing unit against the wall. Personally, I prefer the free-standing option, like these from Lucce at Interior Addict, because if I ever move – they can come along with me!

For those not interested in covering a whole wall in shelving, there are so many different shapes, sizes and arrangements available – the possibilites are really endless.

What do you think of shelving units – do you love this look?

Dutch designer Floris Wubben is known for his mixture of modern and natural designs and the latest is Potato Family , a collection of shelving units that resemble potatoes. Little Potato – first image also The design was inspired by childhood figures that kids made out of chestnuts and potatoes. (Remember making those by jabbing toothpicks into the potato for the arms and legs?) The playfulness of that activity comes through with things like how the polished stainless steel legs are positioned and the skewed shape of each shelving cavity. Twin Potato The Potato Family was constructed in collaboration with artist Bauke Fokkema. Twin Potato – detail I love how the texture of the Dutch Fir wood mimics that of a peeled potato.

Today I have even more cool shelving for you!! The 45 Degrees Shelving Unit is the work of industrial designer Alberto Caputo. Caputo is devoted to the product design phase of all of his furniture and uses cubist philosophy to break each larger idea into manageable piece and concepts. The shelving featured here adds a little bit of bold color to his usual minimalist type design. See more from Caputo here.
