It’s the bane of many a homeowner, a necessary evil (okay, maybe not that bad). Face it: even as the world is rapidly going paperless, there are still plenty of papers to be filed, and the standard piece of furniture designed for that very purpose – the file cabinet – is unsightly, to say the least.

But where there’s a problem, there’s also a solution. Decorators everywhere have found creative ways to make that file cabinet disappear, blend, or even look – could it be possible? – attractive.

Try one of these four tricks and banish the ugly file cabinet forever!

What ingenious use of otherwise unusable space!
