Cube Furniture
A cube is described in simplest terms as made of pairs of six
equal sides. Cube furniture is available in any number of sizes and styles and easily serve multiple purposes. If
you want color, not a problem. Available in Eco-friendly recycled materials, wood, plastics, glass or any
combination, cubes can be incorporated into almost any existing decor. The total flexibility of cube style
decorating offers a foundation for building almost any sized storage area.
They can be used to build expanding storage for DVD's, CD's,
game cartridges and consoles, and other home entertainment accessories. Cubes can make for inexpensive,
customizable, end or coffee tables. Put some various sized cubes in your kitchen for additional storage and
organizing. They can be placed in any empty space and built upon to offer the premium use of every square inch.
Cubes are being incorporated into furniture for a very distinctive, modern look. The edges may be rounded for a
softer appearance. Drawers are also being used in cube layouts for more secure, protective storage space. When made
of woods, chrome, metals, glass, cloths and any combination they can be used to fit in the most modern settings.
Any number of finishes will allow them to be used with existing furniture as accents or to provide eye-pleasing
contrasts.
Way Basics is an Eco-friendly company that has taken the cube
design and applied it to very flexible applications. They have a process they call 'zBoards' which are
water-resistant boards made of recycled paper. They claim they are 67% less heavy than particle board and are as
strong as solid wood products. They are produced in both light and dark wood grains, a variety of solid colors, or
plain white, to add your own designs and colors. No tools are required (you can use them if you want to) as they
come with simple peel and stick construction. Way Basics provides pre-designed kits or make it easy to lay out any
customization that suits your tastes. Use them in the children's rooms to store toys, books, and games or the home
office area in two, three and six cube pre-fab cases for extra space. The cubes can be arranged and decorated in
endless possibilities.
Creativity is the strong-suit for a company called Baby's
Dream. They have recently released a most innovative Cube Collection for the nursery. The first is a CUBE crib with
three mattress levels from 9" to 26", then will convert to a toddler bed, complete with an under-bed drawer. Then,
it can be converted to two twin beds! It will obviously provide years of use as your young ones mature. Not only
the bed, they have the CUBE 3-in-1 changing table. This piece will start out as a 3 drawer dresser with the
changing table under the pull-out top, which is on wheels and can be pivoted. The next step is to convert it to a
desk which can be pushed back together when not used and will stand as a dresser. They are made out of solid wood
so are built to last.
Just an outstanding example of what can be accomplished with
cube furniture and a little imagination. So, no matter the space available, or your current decor, it is a good bet
you can find some form of cube storage designs to fit in, and maximize the space available, to achieve your
organization goals.
