Hello, looking for thoughts on this - have 3 storage units with cubby holes - 27 in total - what will look best clear boxes with labels or coloured boxes with labels xxx

Clear boxes would allow children who can't read to see what's in the box.

Whichever you prefer. You can always label the boxes with pictures as well as words. I have different colour boxes in my storage unit.

I would have coloured boxes then if you wanted too you could turn them round at the weekend or when you are on holiday and don't have to see whats in the boxes all the time!! This is what I do!!! :D

Thats what I have got!! I have got red and silver boxes in mine (had them years) with labels stuck on the outside. I can turn them round at the week end or if I am off, as June said. I don't have lids on them. To be honest the lids end up either getting stood on, or there is so much crammed into the boxes they don't fit anyway!
