If you're anything like us then you may be guilty of having *that pile of stuff*. You know the pile - a small jumble collection of important things (keys, wallet, chewing gum packet, the odd pair of earrings) that just ends up moving around your home without any specific place to call its own. And let's face it, it ends up making every space look unfinished and messy. Thankfully, Habitat has a new trinket box that is the perfect storage solution, and it also combines two top homeware trends.

The £7 trinket box (yes it's really just £7!) is in a brown chequerboard design and made from MDF and resin. The stylish brown and white design taps into the retro style check trend that has been popping up all over homeware, with the check pattern findings its way into rug, tray and bedding designs.

And this season homeware has been all about brown, with dark and rich and warm tones in particular taking centre stage in homeware.

The box measures in at 5.5 x 10.5 x 15.5cm and is the ideal size for fitting in those items that just don't usually have a place. We'd use it for our keys and any other essential items on a console table in the hallway. Or you could use it as the picture suggests for watches or jewellery.

Essentially, whatever you put in it, it will be a sophisticated storage solution that will be ideal for keeping your home clear of irritating clutter.

And we're not the only ones who are massive fans of this stylish design, with Habitat shoppers leaving lots of five star reviews for the box.

One person wrote: "Bought this product as it’s so trendy! And can be used for multiple things. I couldn’t believe how cheap it was to purchase!" Another said: "Absolutely lovely trinket box for my bedside bits and pieces."

There's also a matching tray for £12 that we think is only right we buy too!
