Why should good storage stay behind?
A huge number of people in Kenya's towns and cities rent, and most rental homes come with very limited storage. Building in permanent cupboards means investing in your landlord's property. Buying generic furniture means wobbly units that never fit.
Johms offers a third way: made-to-measure, non-permanent storage. Every piece is designed for your exact room so it looks fitted and built-in — but it's freestanding or secured with minimal, reversible fixings, so it leaves no trace and travels with you.

Built-in cupboards vs. Johms movable storage
Permanent built-ins
- Stay with the house when you leave
- Often need landlord approval
- Drilling, masonry and repairs on exit
- Money spent on someone else's property
Johms movable storage
- Yours to keep — every piece moves with you
- No permanent changes to the property
- Leaves no trace when removed
- Looks fitted, works like custom joinery
