Storage space in the living room can often feel awkward or out of place. While you want to maintain a level of formality, you also want to create a comfortable retreat with easy access to essentials like throw blankets, books, other entertainment essentials. With a little creativity, you can get the most out of every square inch (mainly if you live in a small space).
Scroll through our inspiration guide to lose the clutter and gain plenty of storage.

In this living room, we're digging that the sofa provides extended storage with a built-in wood surface. The adjustable cushions and simple frame prove that stylish statement furniture can also be functional and comfortable. Notice how it offers up a large side table and a backboard to hang your loose items, like a pair of headphones.

No matter how many nooks and crannies you utilize, sometimes there just isn't enough room to store all your things. But that doesn't mean your belongings have to stay strewn about your furniture and floors. Instead, think about ways to use your walls and ceilings to make your living room feel larger and more organized. Floating shelves are both stylish and functional, and hanging hooks are also a great way to keep linens, blankets, and hats nice and tidy. We also love how this room used a bench to keep things neat.

A wide mantel can act as a bookshelf, a place to store tiny treasures, or a way to display artwork. Whatever the main use, choose items that complement the style of the fireplace mantel and your living room. Need extra shelving? Adding a floating shelf above the mantel can do the trick.

We love how effortlessly elegant this little corner looks. It's the perfect example of how to stay organized in a small space or on a budget. Rather than just shoving everything into a closet or buying a large chest of drawers, you can make use of the furniture you already have as storage.
If you leave your blankets lying around, they can make your space feel more cluttered and less formal, so tuck them away when you aren't using them.

Bar carts are great because they function as makeshift shelves, side tables, and drawers. They're particularly great for lofts and studios when the dining, kitchen, and living areas flow into each other. Don't drink? You can just as easily use it to display your decorative items and store your necessities.

This stunning living room incorporates stylish storage solutions as part of the design. There's a magazine rack between the two club chairs to minimize a large pileup on the coffee table, a ladder leaning against the wall to drape throw blankets, and a media console with shelves for anything that should be tucked away. Each storage solution also happens to be a stylish accent piece.

A sofa with built-in storage drawers is definitely worth the extra price tag.
Not only will it help you declutter, but it's also great for families who need to organize and store lots of items. With plenty of styles and colors to work with, you're sure to find one that fits your space.

If floor space is at a minimum, turn your walls into storage units. Build a wall-sized bookcase, and fill it with more than just books. Use the shelves to hold plants, artwork, or travel souvenirs.

Lucky Plot 13
Find furniture that does double duty as seating or table space while also offering storage solutions. You might rest your feet on the top of the ottoman while reclining or add a tray on top in lieu of a coffee table. Inside, use the space to store throw blankets and other items.

If you are lucky enough to have a window bench, use the space underneath the seating for storage. Add drawers or turn the seating top into a flip-top bench to access a chest of space beneath.

When trying to save space, it can be difficult to decide what is necessary and what is simply a want. If you choose furniture pieces that work together, you likely can have both. This living room contains a stunning decorative footstool that tucks away perfectly underneath the coffee table. This way, when not in use, the footstool can be hidden from sight to create more room.

While it's essential to ensure you aren't cluttering up every space in your home, sometimes underrated storage possibilities could be right under your nose. This bench has a perfect view outside and creates an ideal space to read—so the books are neatly stacked and placed under the bench. The books are still displayed yet tucked away to ensure they aren't kicked around.

Families who juggle a desire for stylish design alongside the need to store lots of kid stuff can get creative and do both.
Dedicate a corner of the living room to the kids' play or art area and use rolling carts or under-table storage to put it all away at the end of the day.

If you aren't able to hide away your belongings in a small space, make them all part of the decor. Use shelving to show off colorful books and mix and match storage units to add color and organization to small living rooms. Additionally, you may be surprised how much dećor can be mounted or hung up, creating an eclectic gallery wall.

Those who live in pre-war apartment units or homes built in craftsman or bungalow style may have classic built-in shelving units. Think beyond books or China storage when decorating, though. Feel free to fill the shelves with pieces of artwork, small plants, or treasured dećor items.

Style It Pretty Home
In smaller spaces, creativity is key.
If you have a hall closet or nook beneath the staircase, use every inch for storage. Replace a closet rod with shelves to double or triple the amount of closet storage.

House of Harvee
We always love a stylish coffee table—especially one that stores twice as many items! A two-tier coffee table adds an additional shelf at the bottom to store things like books, remotes, or small dećor items to display without throwing them in a box. It also works well when you need to clear the table for a game night or eat dinner without leaving all your items on the floor or the very edge of the table.

Use the wall to your advantage and create vertical storage. Beyond bookshelves, look for options that match your style preferences. Floating cubbies or floating shelves can hold books and small trinkets, while small hooks can allow plants or other items to be prominently displayed.

A trick used by tiny home builders and micro-apartment architects is to use every surface inch.
There are several cubic feet of unused space under most staircases. Instead of leaving blank walls, install roll-out shelving or storage cubes.

To create a uniform space that feels a little tidier, gather all your candles in one place. Unique placement is key here in order to look intentional. Stack wax or flameless candles inside an old fireplace, windowsill, or alcove for a clever way to add warmth and organization.

Gold A La Mode
TV, video game systems, and sound systems all have multiple cords that look messy no matter how you arrange them. For a simple fix, opt for a console table with blurred glass panels in the front. All your cords and consoles can be tucked away without much hassle, and the fogged glass still gives the impression of what's behind the cabinet doors without needing to open them.

Ashley Montgomery Design
Instead of doing floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, create a wall that combines both.
Use bookshelves for display, and store clutter in the well-designed cabinets. The combination also creates a vertical interest along the wall.

Houseplants add a sense of calm and a pop of green to any room. For small living rooms, store your plants vertically. Stack them on shelves or use tall plant stands that utilize wall space instead of floor space.

Don't leave the remote or tablet on the coffee table. Store it inside instead. A coffee table with hidden shelves or drawers adds more usable space and will help keep your living room tidy without extra cleaning.

While there are table options available to create extra storage, it can be easy to repurpose items if you already have them. This vintage trunk creates a sturdy table to balance books and other items yet has plenty of room to store additional items in the living room.

Towel hooks in bathrooms or coat hooks in the hall entryway let you easily store items you use frequently. So why not steal the idea for your living room? Use pretty hooks to hang throw blankets when not using.
27 of 30
Black and Blooms
Need a place to set down your cup of coffee or a candle next to the couch? Gather large books (library sales are a great place to find art books and other coffee table books at a discount) and stack them to form a small shelf. You can play around with various sizes and stacking options to achieve exactly what you're hoping for.

Dwell Aware
While we've mentioned turning space under a staircase into a place for cabinets and drawers, there are other uses for it as well. Adding an extra chair or small table that may make a living room feel cramped can easily be transported under the stairs to create a simple reading nook.

If you have an older home with a gorgeous mantel and empty fireplace space, don't let it go to waste.
We know you're already using the mantel as a shelf, but don't forget the old fireplace, too. Fill it with books for a literary space, or stack items like these wooden logs to add visual interest and decoration.

When in doubt, using baskets can be a godsend. Opt for small, decorative options for smaller items that need to be tucked away when not in use. They can be stored in shelving units or placed in less conspicuous places like behind the sofa.

Add Built-Ins

If you already have built-ins in your living room, like those in Amber Pierce's home, you're one step ahead.
If not, it's fairly easy to DIY, or hire a carpenter, to add lovely space-saving shelves that blend into the rest of your room. Built-in bookcases are the perfect spot for knick-knacks, too, but be sure to keep the items minimal so the room doesn't look cluttered. -

Opt for Double-Duty Furniture

Consider bringing in pieces of furniture that work overtime in your living room, like this kitchen island from Afro Bohemian Living. This boho-inspired unfinished wood piece not only provides separation in the open floor plan, but it also has drawers and shelves to stash away clutter.

Use Side Tables
Ashley Montgomery Design
When buying side tables for your living room, look for those that have extra storage built into them. The modern side tables from Ashley Montgomery Design have a lower shelf for storing books or magazines. However, you can even swap in a nightstand with a drawer for even more hidden storage.

Keep It Clean

When you style your living room's open shelving, keeping it neat and tidy is key to perfecting this look. These built-ins from Britt Design Studio are the perfect example. Not only do they feature open shelving for knick-knacks, but they also have hidden storage underneath for board games and puzzles.

Use Baskets

Used on a coffee table, as seen in this image from Burchard Design Co., or under a TV stand, baskets are wonderful for hiding odds and ends in a living room. Toss in items like dog toys, throws, or pillows. Baskets also come in many different styles to perfectly match nearly any decor.

Add a Shelving Unit

If you don't have built-ins, introducing a shelf that works well with the rest of your space is a great way to add extra storage to your living room.
This minimalist living room from Calimia Home features a natural wood shelf on the perimeter that blends well enough to feel intentional while adding extra storage to the small space. -

Add a Hutch

Often reserved for dining rooms, a hutch or a sideboard in your living room can provide hidden storage. We love this vintage piece from Kaelyn Guerin. It provides surface space for flowers, coffee table books, and candles, but also has cabinets and drawers for all of your other must-haves.

Add a Coffee Table With Storage
LA Designer Affair
An easy way to add extra storage space to your living room is to pick furniture with built-in storage. You can find ottomans and coffee tables (like this one from LA Designer Affair) that can easily double as storage for blankets, linens, and technology.

Try Floating Shelves
LeClair Decor
Utilizing floating shelves is a great idea if you want something more than a standalone piece, but a full built-in unit is out of reach.
These floating wooden shelves from LeClair Decor are perfect for tucking into a corner or a nook and add extra storage space for objects or art, too. -

Use a Dresser

Consider elegantly displaying a buffet or a dresser in your living room, like this one from Leaf + Lolo. A buffet can also provide an alternative to the traditional TV stand if you need more storage space but still want a chic and classy piece.

Display Fireplace Wood

No room to store wood for your fireplace? Consider turning this winter necessity into rustic art and displaying it instead, like in this living room from Milk and Honey Life. Fill a shelf with tidied-up logs for a fresh, Scandinavian-inspired look and feel.

Go Boho With Your Decor

When adding a storage piece to your living room, opt for a unit that can instantly become a conversation piece.
This lovely vintage boho design shelf from Modern House Vibes is perfect for adding a little bit of storage while helping to tie the rest of the room's look together. -

Create a Library
@i.hate.wednesdays
Carve out a nook of your living room for a library to house your favorite books. Use simple shelving or create built-ins for a space-saving option. Add a comfy chair, some lighting, and a plant or two, to create a reading nook you can escape to on a winter day.
-

Utilize Cushion Storage
Louis Duncan-He Designs
Double-duty furniture, like a storage sofa or a bench, helps hide the clutter that would otherwise make your living room look like a mess. Tuck blankets and throws underneath the cushions of your couch. Put slippers and shoes under bench cushions. You can also stash chargers, cords, and remotes underneath, too.
-
15 of 20
Incorporate a Ladder
The Spruce / Candace Madonna
Ladders work well for hanging throws, blankets, and a cozy sweatshirt, while also adding style and flair to your decor.
Use a simple farm ladder, or opt for a ladder with shelves to showcase books, plants, and storage baskets that act as catch-alls for keys, watches, and notepads. -
16 of 20
Create a Modular Display
The Spruce / Gene Yoon
Modular wall displays add a modern storage touch to almost any vacant wall in your living room. Use one as an entertainment system, with the television as the central point surrounded by books and decor items. Modulars can also be used to showcase items of interest, like vintage records and a record player. Choose a modular unit with both cabinets and open shelves to hide your clutter while displaying other items that act as decor.
-

Add a Window Seat

While windows bring natural light into your living room, they can also act as a cozy reading nook. Opt for a window bench seat with comfy pillows and storage underneath. Tuck away books, laptops, cords, and chargers.
You can even store toys and your kid's favorite stuffed animals inside. -

Organize Cords and Remotes
The Spruce / Ana Maria Stanciu
Unsightly power strips can be housed inside a cable organizer with a wooden lid and hole for the cable. No one will even know it's there! Use cable blocks to organize cell phone chargers, and headphone stands to hold your headphones when they're not in use. Remotes and other technology accessories can be housed in a small basket or crate on your coffee table, as well.

Designate a Kid Area
Design by Sissy + Marley Interior Design / Photo by Marco Rica Studio
Large living rooms are perfect for watching television, reading, and playing with toys. And kids need their special space, too. Designate a corner of your living room as a play nook for your child. Outfit it with shelving and cabinets, perfect for books and toys, a soft rug, and even a craft table, if you have the room.
While parents enjoy their favorite mini-series on TV, kids can be playing quietly in their special nook. -

Add Storage Under the Stairs

Many living rooms contain stairs to access the second floor, and this space often goes overlooked when thinking about the floor plan. Under-stair storage can consist of built-in shelving, hidden storage drawers, and even roll-out closets for coats and shoes. Tuck an office space under your living room stairs, complete with a small desk and shelving. Or use hidden roll-out bins to store sporting equipment.
Smart storage: 10 key principles
storage rules put things in order goods for storage organized house
Whatever the apartment is - spacious or cramped, with high or low ceilings, regular geometry or with "uncomfortable" niches, columns, etc. - in the power of any person to properly organize their space for life. However, not everyone is so creative that the idea of a competent home immediately appears in the head with clear and clear outlines - it is for those who want to transform their home and make it as comfortable as possible, but have no idea where to start, and the following recommendations have been developed.
So, 10 principles of a rationally organized home space that are suitable for any apartment and do not require serious financial investments. nine0003
Principle 1. Passive and active zones
In any residential area (apartment or private house), one can easily distinguish passive zones - they are not particularly popular with residents who enter or look in there quite rarely: garage, basement, high mezzanines of cabinets or hanging shelves under the ceiling, pantries, guest rooms . Active zones (already from the name it is clear that these places are actively used several times a day) include the entrance hall, living room, kitchen and, accordingly, shelves, cabinets and drawers located in them approximately at eye level of an adult. nine0003
A common mistake that significantly complicates life, especially in small rooms, is filling active zones with items that are far from essential. The purpose of this commandment is to exclude out-of-season clothing from the active use area, and items that are needed a couple of times a year (for example, spare light bulbs, empty flower pots, summer hats, etc.
) should, when not used, acquire its place in the passive zones.
Principle 2: Outdoor storage areas should always be beautiful
This point of the organization of living space is more of an aesthetic one: keep open shelves, decorative architectural niches, cabinets with glass doors should be in perfect order and neatness. The color-matched spines of a home library in the living room or living room, and not badly shabby magazines and children's books without covers, clean transparent dishes, glasses and glasses on open kitchen shelves, a shoe rack in the hallway, and not a pile of unwashed sneakers and sandals - bring both things and their places of storage should be in order, regardless of how often guests are in the house. nine0003
Principle 3: Find what you need quickly
Many are familiar with the situation - a protracted search for some little thing that is needed at the moment can bring it almost to white heat. The essence of this commandment is simple: organize the storage of things so that they can be easily found:
• on faceless boxes with shoes, it is worth making an inscription, a schematic drawing or even a photograph of a stored pair - and you will get rid of the need to dig through the entire wardrobe in search of evening shoes; nine0003
• the same applies to opaque covers with clothes, wardrobe trunks or vacuum bags - the latter can be pasted with a list of contents;
• transparent kitchen containers allow you to see what is in them; it is also recommended to make inscriptions on frosted boxes and vessels.
Principle 4. Popular things should be easily accessible
Frequently used items, inventory, kitchen utensils, etc. should not hide in the far corners of cabinets - if necessary, you will have to dig up mountains of items that are currently unnecessary. For frequently used items, use easily accessible drawers, wardrobe trunks, baskets, hanging shelves, wall hooks, etc. If we are talking about children's things, then the place for their storage should be such that the child can easily clean up toys, books, clothes. nine0003

Principle 5. Systematization according to purpose
Avoid mixing handkerchiefs, cake candles, and crayon sets. Even in a small apartment, it is easy to take a separate box or box for stationery, medicines, Lego parts for children, flash drives, etc. - if necessary, you do not have to spend a lot of time searching for the right, but somewhere lost among other things, little things. nine0003
Principle 6. Separate place for temporary items
A screwdriver taken from a friend to assemble furniture, library books, disks for rent with the latest cinema releases, things left by forgetful guests, etc.
can be safely attributed to the apartment “aliens”. You should take care of such a place for their storage so that they do not mix with personal permanent things, are in front of your eyes (otherwise you will completely forget about them), but also do not cause chaos in the entire apartment. For this purpose, a separate box or hard case may well be suitable, and for books and films - a dedicated shelf in the closet. nine0003
Principle 7 Dividers are a simple and ingenious invention
Many have seen the picture: after just a few days, neatly laid out stacks of clothes in the general compartment of the closet turn into incredible chaos. Small things in a large space without divisions do not take up much space, but to find them in a common heap, you have to dig through it all. For these and many other similar situations, there are organizers and dividers: special trays that divide the mezzanines of wooden and plastic or cardboard (for boxes) partitions will rationally and accurately store clothes and jewelry, socks and underwear, stationery and kitchen utensils.
nine0003
Principle 8: Vertical storage
Remember the moment in the movie "Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures", when the Coward takes out the lowest pot from a neatly folded pot tower? And a deplorable result for the tower? That's about the same thing happens with things when their owner tries to pull out the lowest one - clothes folded in the closet turn into an indistinct heap, or for the sake of one pot or pan, you have to turn over the entire kitchen cabinet. Hanging shelves in large cabinets, vertical holders for baking sheets and pans, planks with hooks for kitchen utensils, vertical wardrobe trunks with compartments for children's toys, etc. will greatly simplify life. Well, be sure to try folding things according to the Marie Kondo method. nine0003
Principle 9. Heavy down, light up
This commandment is a direct continuation of the previous one: vertical storage should be properly organized.
Heavy things should not subject shelves and furniture fixtures to serious stress, as well as pose a danger to human health in the event of a fall - the upper limit of objects that require serious efforts to lift or move them should be located at a height of no more than a meter above the floor . If boxes or containers are stacked on top of each other, then the heaviest ones should be placed closer to the floor, and the lighter ones should be placed on top. nine0003
Principle 10. Don't forget the value of things!
It seems to be a completely understandable truth, but, alas, many people forget about it, and then weep bitterly over a broken grandmother's vase, damaged photographs or family heirlooms. Any items (boxes, containers, utensils) on the shelves should be stable, clothes made of delicate fabrics should be stored in special cases, valuables and photographs should be kept away from moisture, sunlight and aggressive substances. Things dear to the heart should be kept away from everyday items that are not of particular value, but can violate the conditions for storing family heirlooms or expensive items.

15 ideas for storage in a small bedroom
Wardrobe and workplace
Every centimeter counts in a small bedroom. By installing a structure with sliding doors in a small room, we are guaranteed to save space, because wardrobes can be placed close to the bed. Swing doors do not have this advantage. Next to the structure, you can equip a small cozy office by placing a table in the resulting niche and hanging shelves. nine0003
Wardrobe and mezzanines above the door
Speaking about the rational use of space, special attention should be paid to built-in structures that occupy a smaller bedroom wall. In a cramped room, it is recommended to place a built-in wardrobe up to the ceiling: it looks solid, has a larger capacity and harmoniously fits into the interior, adjusting the shape of the room. Mezzanines above the entrance create additional storage space.
Open shelf above bed
If a work area in a small room is adjacent to a bed, it is worth placing a long shelf directly above the bed.
It will become a convenient place to store books and small things and visually unite the space. Such a stylish solution will allow you to decorate the headboard in different ways (pictures or photographs in a frame, flowers, baskets), but will not require special costs.
Dressing room and office
In the 14 square meter bedroom, you can find space not only for a bed, but also for a mini dressing room. This option is suitable for those who appreciate comfort and need zoning. To build a structure, it is necessary to divide the room into three parts. In one zone, a bed should be placed, and in the other - a dressing room and an office with a partition. This solution will allow you to use the space as rationally as possible. nine0003
Chest
Not only a closet or chest of drawers is suitable for storing clothes and bed linen: a capacious chest that can be placed near the foot or placed in any empty corner will become a real decoration of a small bedroom.
There are many options for products: wicker, wooden, antique, rough army or upholstered - the chest will fit into any style of interior.
Wardrobes instead of bedside tables
A practical solution for a small bedroom is to use high and narrow wardrobes located on the sides of the bed. The designs will create a cozy niche that can be supplemented with wall cabinets. The role of bedside tables will be played by compact shelves for small items, attached directly to the body. In the bedroom for a couple, wardrobes are conveniently divided into two. nine0003
Full Wall Cabinets
An original way to create storage in a small bedroom without cluttering it up is to order a wall-to-wall built-in chest of drawers. You can store a lot of things in it, and use the countertop as an additional seat. The space above the cabinets is usually occupied by shelves for books or a TV.
Pipe hangers
If you appreciate the loft and have a small amount of things, open clothes hangers will fit perfectly into the bedroom.
They can be freestanding, mobile on wheels or mounted on a wall. How to create a floor hanger with your own hands, read here. nine0003
Shelving unit on the sides of the headboard
You won't surprise anyone with an open shelving unit next to the wall, but the built-in shelves turned towards the bed look original. Shelves not only create a cozy recess for a bed, but also serve as a place to store useful little things.
Under bed storage
Space in a small room should be used to the maximum, so don't neglect the free space under the bed. The drawer design will be a convenient alternative to a podium or a bed that needs to be raised to access things. If you are purchasing a folding sofa, a product with a box for linen will be the most practical solution. nine0003
Cube-shaped structure
You won't find such a storage system in a furniture store: an unusual wardrobe bed with a podium, shelving and built-in cabinets is made to order according to individual sizes.
A sleeping place located in a niche looks like a compact room. The original design is suitable for very narrow spaces.
Shelves under the ceiling
Not filling the space between the ceilings in a small bedroom is a real waste. Shelves fixed high are usually used for rarely used items. The photo shows how interesting the snow-white bedroom with shelves above the bed looks: books have become a stylish decoration and added coziness and habitability to the laconic interior. nine0003
Boxes and baskets
Beautiful cardboard boxes and wicker baskets are very functional, as they serve to store useful little things and help keep the bedroom clean. Useful containers look good on open shelving, and also allow you to rationally use the empty space on the cabinets. Read about how to create original containers and baskets here.
Floating cabinet
An amazing solution from the Russian studio Astar project - a structure that holds the countertop and rises above the floor.
