Stuva For Entryways

Stuva is great for entryways when you need some compact storage and functionality at the same time. Use wardrobes with storage units, or go for only storage units, which can double as comfy benches to put your shoes on. Change the top of the bench making it wooden for a more chic look, or paint it as you need to fit your space perfectly. Have a cat? Turn a Stuva storage unit into a bench with a cat litter box inside, this is a very creative solution that doesn’t take any space and everything is hidden.
