Wall-Mounted Units

Free-Standing Units
A free-standing mid-century modern storage unit is also a good idea as it can be used as a space divider, too. Such a unit may feature only closed storage compartments and cabinets or also some shelves and other elements like desks. It’s totally up to you what to choose, if you want a statement and bulky look – go for closed storage compartments and if you want a more airy feel – prefer more open shelving. Enjoy!
