Case Closed: 7 Casegoods to Streamline At-Home Storage

In this week's Modern Monday Twitter conversation, Design Milk posed the question: How can we balance our drive for super-clean, minimal spaces and the reality of living with things? Finding the right storage can make all the difference—a dresser that ensures clothes aren't strewn on chairs, a chest to keep toys in check, a credenza to keep all your dishes neatly stowed, a bar cabinet to hide your penchant for Fireball and cheap vino. Seven such options are in the slideshow that follows.

“The star of the Tilde collection is the pull detail, which I get asked about a lot," Tacheny says.

I am always having to break it to people who contact me about buying the hardware how difficult it is to install. To me, grace in physical form means making something look clear and simple and beautiful when in reality it's much more complex to execute and make perfect.”
