This classic modular storage is the best way to express your home’s personality - here’s 5 genius ways to use it

a green usm unit with locks

Modular furniture is one of the greatest tools at your disposal when interior designing your home. It gives you the power of bespoke furniture, but with the benefit of classic design and well-tested functionality. And USM are one of the best at it. 

The USM Haller system, if you’re unfamiliar, is a design that’s defined by a series of chromed steel tubes in multiple lengths which together with ball connectors,  form the structure of this elegant and classic design, while the sheet panels are available in a wide range of colours. It’s a design that has many classic functions too as furniture for every room in the house - from nightstands and sideboards to bookshelves. 

However, there are also some brilliantly creative ways to use USM to bring your dream home to life, given that there’s almost infinite configurations with the added option of doors, drawers, filing systems, wheels and a multitude of internal fittings. Here’s just 5 of the ideas we love most.  

To keep private materials locked away

Whether your work requires you to store confidential information, or you just want to keep your home bar out of reach of the younger members of your family, USM doors can be fitted with key-operated locks. It makes it a great piece for holiday rentals, too, where you might want to keep your essentials hidden away from guests when they’re renting your property.
