Bike storage: when practical becomes elegant

Storing your bike in an apartment is often seen as a constraint. Bulky and difficult to fit between the sofa and the front door, it often ends up in the hallway, risking obstructing the way. Yet, with the right storage solution, a bike can blend perfectly into a living space — without sacrificing elegance.

The problem with traditional storage

Resting your bike on the floor takes up a considerable amount of space. Between handlebars that stick out, pedals that catch on things, and wheels that dirty the walls, coexisting with your furniture quickly becomes complicated. Not to mention the risk of accidental falls that can damage the frame or components.

The wall-mounted solution: space-saving and aesthetic

A wall mount clears the floor entirely while showcasing the bike. Mounted at the right height, it makes the bike accessible in seconds and preserves the integrity of your equipment. Brushed stainless steel models pair just as well with an industrial decor as they do with a contemporary Scandinavian interior.

Choosing the right mount for your bike

There are two main categories of wall mounts: wheel hooks, which hold the bike by the front or rear wheel, and frame mounts, which support the horizontal tube. The former are more compact and suit most road and city bikes. The latter offer a more horizontal presentation, ideal for collector frames.

Installing multiple bikes without losing space

For multi-cyclist households — whether a couple or a family — it is possible to install several mounts side-by-side or in a staggered pattern to optimize wall space. This arrangement creates a very graphic gallery effect, especially if the bikes feature contrasting colors.

At David & Clément, every mount is designed to combine sturdiness, manufacturing precision, and visual discretion. Storing your bike should never be a constraint — but a decor decision.
