How to Use a HOL Storage Cube

A HOL storage cube available through IKEA is a wooden box used primarily to store linens. The cube has woven wooden sides with 1-inch gaps between each weave. This allows airflow trough the box but also allows people to see what is inside the box. Because of the holes, the box is not ideal for storing small objects that could fall out. There are many ways to use a Hol storage cube in your home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove your coffee table from your living room and position the HOL storage cube in front of your couch to act as a coffee table. The height of the unit is 19 5/8-inches high which makes it ideal for a coffee table. It also gives you the ability to store blankets and pillows for use in the living room.

      Remove end tables from your living room and position the HOL storage cube as end tables. You can use a decorative saucer and place it on top of the cube to create stable resting place for your lamps. Because an end table usually has items on it, using a storage cube as an end table means you should use the storage inside the cube for long term storing of items you rarely use.

      Place the HOL storage cube in your child's room and use it as a toy box. Although it will not work for small toys, you can use it for larger toys that otherwise would line up against the wall or sit on a shelf.

      Place the HOL storage cube at the end of your bed and use it for blanket storage or to store out-of-season clothing.
