How to style decorative metal storage bins?

Decorative metal storage bins need a label, a cute shelf, and adequate spacing in order to be aesthetic and useful. Using a label maker, a computer program, or just your handwriting (if you think you can write prettily enough), write a concise label stating what’s generally in your storage bin. Then, line your bin up on a shelf that’s large enough to hold a few bins—and make sure there’s enough room to leave an inch or two of breathing room on either side of your bin. This will make your placement look purposeful and design-centric.
