Metal Storage Lockers for Small Spaces

By Nick Cranwell

Needing extra storage but limited on space? Metal storage lockers are a great choice for anyone who is looking to maximise on space without compromising on quality. In this blog we’ll look at why metal storage lockers are perfect for small spaces.  

Why Metal Storage Lockers are Perfect for Small Spaces 

Metal storage lockers offer a unique combination of benefits that make them ideally suited for small spaces: 

  • Space Optimisation: You can buy metal lockers in a range of sizes, as they are designed with space efficiency in mind. The height of The Bexley – a tall, slim storage locker – draws the eye upwards, creating the illusion of higher ceilings and a more spacious room. The Bexley can neatly tuck into corners, hallways, or even act as stylish room dividers. It’s also a great choice for university halls or flats where a two-door wardrobe is too big. 
  • Unparalleled Versatility: Metal storage lockers are incredibly adaptable and can be used in any room of your home. From the entryway to a smaller bedroom or bathroom, they provide a stylish and functional storage solution for everything from coats and shoes to books, toys and cleaning supplies. A metal locker such as The Harrow is a great choice for maximising on space thanks to its sleek four-drawer design.  
  • Style and Aesthetics: Forget the outdated image of drab school lockers. Today's metal storage lockers come in a variety of on-trend colours, finishes and styles to complement any small space. Whether it’s Slate Grey to add a touch of industrial charm, or Mustard yellow to add a pop of vibrant colour to your space – a metal storage locker is both a practical and stylish option.  
  • Durability and Strength: Crafted from robust steel, these lockers are built to withstand the test of time. They can endure daily wear and tear, making them perfect for busy households with children or pets. When looking to buy a metal storage locker for a small space, it’s helpful to know that their sturdiness will stand the test of time. 

 

Choosing the Right Metal Storage Locker for Your Needs 

Selecting the perfect metal storage locker for your small space does also involve the consideration of a few key factors: 

  • Size and Dimensions: Measure the space where you intend to place the locker carefully. Consider the height, width, and depth to ensure a perfect fit. Don't forget to account for door swing clearance! 
  • Storage Needs: Think about what you plan to store in the locker. Do you need shelves for folded clothes, drawers for small items, or hanging space for coats and jackets? A metal drawer locker such as The Lambeth is a great option with its three-drawer design.

Styling Tips for Metal Storage Lockers in Small Spaces 

Here are a few design tips to seamlessly incorporate metal storage lockers into your small space: 

  • Create a Focal Point: Choose a locker in a bold colour or unique design to draw the eye and add visual interest to your room. From Sky Blue to Light Pink and Forest, we have a range of colours to help you find the perfect colour for your space.  
  • Combine with Other Storage: Pair lockers with other storage products, such as floating shelves and metal drawer lockers, or make use of our range of matching storage baskets to create a balanced and organised look. 
  • Utilise the Top Surface: Don't let the space on top of your lockers go to waste. Use it to display decorative items, such as plants, books, or artwork. These extras would look great on top of The Oxford – with its small but wide design allowing you to use it as a TV stand, office organiser or bathroom cabinet.  
  • Maximise Light and Reflections: Consider adding mirrors to your small space to reflect light and create the illusion of more space. A well-placed mirror can make a room feel instantly larger and brighter. 

Unlock the Potential of Your Small Space


Our range of lockers have handy hooks on the inside for extra storage and a magnetic surface which can help you keep your space clutter-free. We also offer extra shelving to increase storage space, as well as being able to wall-mount some of our lockers. This is especially helpful in a room where floor space is at a premium.  

Metal storage lockers are the perfect solution for maximising space and creating a clutter-free haven in your home. Their durability, versatility and style make them an ideal choice for any small space. With a little planning and creativity, you can transform your home into an oasis of order and style, no matter its size.
