Vintage-style Lemonade crates from Berry Red
Ideally timed for the arrival of the sunshine, these Lemonade crates, available from Berry Red are perfect for adding some zest to your home.
The crates are vintage-looking, made from wood and decorated with the retro typography reading 'fresh lemonade'. That turquoise, green or grey pain looks deliberately distressed too. They'd look good on display but would be an attractive way to store things out of the way too.
Each crate costs £30.
