If we're to expect anybody to have a collection of trophies, it's Emma Raducanu. The tennis professional (famed as the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977) made her name in the sporting world at the age of 21 – and with her sucsess comes the inevitable trophies she's picked up along the way. Instead of storing her sucsess behind closed doors, Raducanu tapped into one of the most used (but controversial) we can choose – open-shelving – thus turning her space into a celebration of her life and achievements.
Alongside the aforementioned trophies, Raducanu has styled her shelves with photo frames, books, trinket boxes, and a scented that is sure to fill her room with scent, alongside the burning incense that's also spotted on her bottom shelf. The benefit of storage, like Raducanu's, is simultaneously its biggest downfall: these shelves leave everything open and exposed – meaning are common. However, with some curation and the confidence to incorporate some personal items (whether it's trophies, photos, or souvenirs from our travels), we can replicate Raducanu's storage in a way that's unique to us.
The secret to success, however, is found in curation, as storage expert (and CMO at ) Bo Hellberg explains. A photo posted by on 'Styling open shelving comes down to your own personal style. Some people prefer a mix, whereas some people choose a more uniform style where everything matches perfectly.
