35 living room storage ideas to curb the clutter

As one of the busiest rooms in the house, it's no wonder that sometimes our lounges can house a lot of 'stuff'. While decluttering is always welcome, there are plenty of things we do just need in this space, which is why living room storage ideas are so important. 

One of the reasons our living room ideas are so in need of carefully considered storage is that, these days, the lounge is a truly all-use space. From home offices, to playrooms, to home gyms and gaming marathons, our living rooms are no longer reserved for relaxing, but must serve a multitude of purposes. 

Since space so so often at a premium, a great place to start is with multipurpose pieces. 'Maximise space in a compact living room by first considering investing in multifunctional furniture,' advises Jenna Choate, Co-Founder, Interior Fox . 'An ottoman footstool is a great place to start, it works as additional seating for when guests visit, creates extra storage, and best of all, a place to put up your feet at the end of a long day. '

'Add shelves to open areas to make the most of empty spaces,' continues Jen. 'Floating shelves or a tall bookshelf that extends to the ceiling will provide ample amounts of storage and a place to showcase decorative items. And then, of course, the possibilities are endless when you go bespoke.'

Living room storage ideas

"When it comes to lounge design, living room storage ideas is one of the most important factors to consider,' says Emma Deterding, Founder and Creative Director, Kelling Designs. 'This is in order to keep your living room organised and a place in which to relax and spend time with loved ones.'

1. Make alcoves work harder

'Built in storage is one of the best living room storage ideas,' says Ann Marie Cousins, Founder, AMC Design . 'Make sure to take advantage of all the available space, especially when working with small living room ideas. In a period property, there are often gaps either side of the chimney breast which make for great open shelves or cupboards. '

Don't stop at adding storage shelving to alcoves, however. Make this space multifunctional by including a lower, wider shelf which can double as a home office as and when needed.

2. Paint inside shelving to add interest

(Image credit: Future PLC/Carolyn Barber)

Shelving units don't have to be boring. Painting their interior is an easy and budget-friendly way of revamping a simple structure. Alternate tonal colours for a extra design hit ideal for modern living room ideas. Then use this backdrop to display your items to perfection.

'The shelving should be filled with items that spark memories that you treasure,' says Emma from Kelling Designs. 'Be sure to use objects and ornaments of different sizes across the shelving so you have movement. Grouping a larger item with a medium and smaller item will not only keep the grouping, but will create a flow for your eyes to travel with.'

3. Add a pole for handy hanging

(Image credit: Future PLC)

Think outside of the box (or shelf) with living room storage ideas. Adding a slimline metal pole to your wall can give you more creative ways to stash and display your items. 

Hang houseplants, baskets or wire boxes with simple S-hooks and you're good to go. As well as being space saving, this area is easy to dress up and change with the seasons and as living room trends change.

4. Blend it in

(Image credit: Future PLC/Georgia Burns)

When working out how to design a living room, remember that storage doesn't always have to shout about its existence. If you have a rather busy or maximalist room, you might want to disguise, rather than highlight, your storage.

Take your cabinetry either up high or down low and paint to blend in with your walls. If up near your ceilings they might appear as an architectural feature, and down low they can double as a bench or surface.

5. Make a feature of your shelving

(Image credit: Future PLC/Simon Whitmore)

Alternatively, get loud with your storage. Statement living room shelving ideas can become a focal point in their own right. Carefully curate the items on display so it has an artistic and considered feel.

'Styling objects on a shelf can be beautiful and decorative,' says Peter Erlandsson, Owner, String . 'Treat your shelf like a canvas and create a work of art on top of it with artfully styled clutter.'

'Not only is it fun to create your own, organic and changing artwork from your own knick-knacks, but it is a great way to save space. When you lift things off the floor and use shelving as a storage solution, you create the illusion of a larger space.'

6. Use contrasting colours for impact

(Image credit: Future PLC/Chris Snook)

'Built-in joinery in the form of shelving is ideal for making the best use of oddly shaped rooms, alcoves and recesses,' says Emma from Kelling Designs. 'Not only does it use the space to its best potential, but it also gives you ample storage for everyday items, as well as decorative elements too.'

'From a style perspective, I always recommend choosing a beautiful colour for your joinery that complements your interior design scheme. ' With living room feature wall ideas you may want to paint the back of the unit in the same colour and highlight the shelves with the colour of the other walls.

7. Take over a wall

(Image credit: Maison Maison)

‘Use floor to ceiling storage units to maximise storage space,' advises Suzanne Duin, Founder, Maison Maison .

'An exposed unit can be styled with books and design ornaments and provide a lovely space to inject some colour into a room. Sage green living room ideas offer soothing and revitalising qualities, making it the perfect shade for this space.'

8. Upcycle a retro cabinet

(Image credit: Future PLC/David Giles)

A tired old display cabinet can be brought back to life with a thoughtful upcycle using delightfully easy DIY ideas. Clean up, paint in a bright statement shade and use to display treasured items. 

For more of a theme you could use this to store items or memorabilia related to the era the furniture is from.

9. Make the most of bay windows

(Image credit: Future Plc/Tim Young)

'If you're working with bay window ideas, think about building a window seat with storage underneath,' suggests Ann Marie from AMC Design. 'This is a great way to make use of potentially wasted space, whilst also doubling as another form of seating.'

Building in drawers will create extra storage and are much more practical than a lift up lid. Use the angled end section as a built-in side table and add cushions on top for comfort.

10. Combine open and closed storage

(Image credit: Future Plc/Joanna Henderson)

Style out your living room with smart shelving that is both open and closed. Create a display opportunity by making a modular shelf unit the focal point of your space. 

Then arrange your open shelves with a mix or books and decor, reserving the covered shelving for the more practical things - or just the less attractive pieces!

11. Use fluted glass to hide clutter in style

(Image credit: Future Plc/Tim Young)

Glass cabinets look super chic, but aren't the best if you have clutter or daily essentials to hide away. Replace your glass frontage with a fluted option which will blur and help disguise the interiors. You'll still have a general idea of the shapes within so do try and stack and sort neatly. 

12. Build storage into seating

(Image credit: Future Plc/Colin Poole)

If your living room is on the smaller side, you'll want to make the most of every inch of space. A great way to do this is to forgo a traditional sofa and opt for a built-in bench instead, adding storage below and to each side. 

Painting the whole thing in the same colour as your living room colour schemes will mean it will blend seamlessly into the room and it won't be obvious it's storing a multitude of sins!

13. Utilise architectural features

(Image credit: Future Plc/Dominic Blackmore)

Make the most of every nook and cranny for your living room storage ideas by adapting existing architectural features.

Clad an unused chimney breast by building out a frame, slightly wider than the chimney breast and covering it in two styles of wall panelling ideas. Dividing the panels at dado height will provide a small ledge for storing and displaying art work, while slim storage cubbies can be used to keep books, accessories and knick knacks.

14. Hide away WFH clutter

(Image credit: Future Plc/Simon Whitmore)

Your living room is already working hard as a space for relaxation, entertaining and playtime, so the last thing you need is paperwork littering every surface, too. 

Choose clever freestanding furniture for your home office ideas so you can hide away all the workday essentials come 5pm, like a cupboard-cum-desk. A bureau will blend nicely in a living room too or a coffee table that extends out to become a desk, could also be a great option.

15. Go for bespoke media storage

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)

Go for multifunctional TV and media storage that will house all your essentials in one hit. 

'Creating a bespoke, floor to ceiling unit will help maximise living room storage ideas,' says Philipp Nagel, Director, Neatsmith . 'When organising the unit, consider the items and the space they require. Deeper items should be stored at the bottom and shallower items higher up so the unit isn’t too heavy or encroaching on the room unnecessarily.'

16. Choose side tables with ‘secret’ storage

(Image credit: IKEA)

Find a home for remote controls, coasters or any other essentials you need within grabbing distance of the sofa but don’t want cluttering up your table tops. 

Look for neat nesting tables can be used separately, or when nested together, the smallest becomes a handy hideout for odds and ends. 

17. Stash cushions and blankets in an ottoman

(Image credit: Sofology)

Opt for stowaway storage so you can stash living room essentials out of sight. A roomy ottoman with lift-up lid is brilliant for hiding away spare cushions, bulky blankets or children’s toys.

Choose one that colour co-ordinates with your living room sofa ideas or seating arrangement, or choose a standalone piece in a contrast colour or neutral leather.

18. Quickly tidy with a basket

(Image credit: Garden Trading)

Invest in a sturdy tub or storage basket that can tuck under a coffee table or sit next to a sofa or armchair. A brilliant clutter-catcher for books, magazines, iPads or knitting, just chuck everything in at the end of the evening for a speedy tidy-up.

19. Choose a flexible system

(Image credit: Bisley)

Start small or scale it up…opting for a modular system will give you the flexibility to do both. Look for high-quality plywood stacking systems with different-sized modules that can be configured to suit the available space. It's easy enough to swap things out if you want a different look, or neat to fit a different space.

20. Take storage from floor to ceiling

(Image credit: Sharps)

Use every inch by taking your storage from floor right up to the ceiling. It's best to go bespoke, built-in here so you have a perfect fit for whatever alcove or corner you're making the most of. Opt for a combination of shelves and cupboards to give space for display and somewhere to hide the less-lovely stuff.

21. Make shelving mutltipurpose

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Tim Young)

Create a spot where you can sit at the laptop or sort admin, without ruining the aesthetic of your living room. Once you know how to put up a floating shelf you can easily create a wall of storage and display space with paperwork hidden away in box files.

Make sure the lowest shelf is at a desk height and is wide enough to hold your WFH essentials. Keeping it wider than the ones above won't disrupt the sleek look.

22. Hang easy-access wall baskets

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Joanna Henderson)

Target clutter hotspots by installing easy-access storage that will encourage even the youngest family members to put things away. Fix a few sturdy metal hooks on the wall at staggered heights and hook a handled basket on each. 

Willow baskets are great for quick end-of-day tidy-ups for toys, books, magazines, iPads and other stuff that tends to lay about. Plus, they work beautifully as living room wall decor ideas, which is always a plus.

23. Turn shelving on its side

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Tim Young)

Turn an awkward alcove into a storage opportunity with a custom-built arrangement. Use regular wooden cubes or box shelving, but instead of fixing to the wall in a straight line, position shelves in a diagonal arrangement. Paint shelves the same colour as the wall for a chic, streamlined look, then fill with your favourite books.

24. Choose multi-functional pieces

(Image credit: Sofa.com)

Save space with a coffee table, footstool and storage combined. Look for neat storage drums with removable lids that can be lifted to reveal a cavern of hidden storage inside. Perfect for blankets, cushions, board games and an extra seat in a pinch.

25. Style for your shelfies

(Image credit: Future PLC/Carolyn Barber)

Soften the hard lines of a dark shelving unit with a selection of plants. Choose trailing varieties and frothy foliage, mixing different heights and shapes to bring the look to life. Selecting a coherent colour scheme really helps when displaying your collections - three to four colours is perfect.

'Remember plants and greenery will add life to your shelving, so be sure to include them to bring a sense of the outdoors in and help ground the space,' advises Emma from Kelling Designs.

26. Add in floating shelves

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Joanna Henderson)

Floating shelves are a simple way to achieve sleek and streamlined living room storage ideas. Paint the shelves in the same colour as the wall to disguise them, or a contrast shade to make them sing in the space. 

27. Use a combination of storage 

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)

Prevent your space from feeling too cluttered by adding baskets to your shelving. This double use of storage helps to keep things organised and makes the room at large seem less busy. 

Plus it's perfect if you're a stickler for a colour scheme and the daily odds and ends look a bit too chaotic in combination with each other. 

28. Go for a wall-to-wall system

(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Brittian)

Invest in shelves that run from wall-to-wall in a living room. A run of open shelving or glass fronted cabinets across a living room wall gives you plenty of space to display favourite finds. 

Pair with low-level cupboards or drawers for easy access to everyday items that aren't so easy on the eye.

29. Get IKEA hacking

(Image credit: Future PLC)

We love discovering IKEA hacks - and they work perfectly for living room storage ideas. Pushing together a bank of Ivar units creates an unobtrusive, inexpensive storage and display space for all your living room clutter.

Store your books and games inside to keep them neat and out the way. Paint white for a  simple finish.

30. Frame a window to utilise space

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Tim Young)

Make best use of space by framing windows with bespoke storage. Realise the full potential of unused wall space, especially up high, with built-in storage solutions. 

Window seat ideas provide the perfect place to sit and make you feel that little bit closer to the outside.

31. Repurpose vintage storage trunks

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)

For an eclectic interior full of charm, give new life and purpose to old pre-loved pieces. A storage trunk not only gives a room a sense of history, but can double up as a feature coffee table, too.

32. Consider ladder-style shelving

(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Brittain)

Step up your storage with ladder-style shelving. A leaning ladder shelf is a great way to add storage without overwhelming a living room.  

As well as being an interesting alternative to more conventional shelving, they are perfect for paler schemes or rooms with limited space. Be sure to secure the frame to the wall for safety.

33. Make use of narrow furniture in alcoves

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)

Make the most of all the space available to create living room storage ideas. Many living rooms have alcove space either side of the fireplace ideas, this provides a natural solution for storage. The ideal choice is to have bespoke cabinetry and shelves fitted, but it can be expensive.

Keep costs lower with clever free-standing furniture pieces. Use tall, narrow units to best utilise every square inch of storage on offer.

34. Get bargain hunting

(Image credit: Future PLC/Simon Whitmore)

You should be able to pick up sturdy, good-quality solid-wood vintage pieces for much less than you'd pay for them new. 

Antique shop fittings and cabinets work brilliantly in modern homes as they offer well-organised storage in a unique piece of furniture that's full of character and personality.

35. Work with an unused fireplace

(Image credit: Future Plc/Dominic Blackmore)

If you have an unused fireplace it's tempting to block it up or to use it as a space to house log storage ideas or an electric fire. Come the warmer months you hopefully won't be needing the extra heat, so pop those in a cupboard and use the alcove for storage. 

Think piles of colour coded books, your favourite magazines, or a curated collection of vases and lanterns. 

How do I maximise storage in my living room?

There are plenty of ways to increase the volume of your living room storage ideas, starting with swapping out old furniture for multipurpose pieces.

'Your sofa should work for you, not the other way around,' points out Dani Burroughs, Head of Product, Snug . 'So if you find you're tight on space think about looking for sofas with storage options.  Great for those who are a minimalist rather than clutter collector, a sofa that has the option to lift the seats to reveal ample amounts of storage is the perfect way to keep everyday items stashed away. '

'A storage footstool is another great multi-functional option, ideal as an occasional seat, or as a place to pop a serving tray,' continues Dani. 'The handy hidden storage beneath is the perfect spot for magazines and additional cosy throws.'

Built in storage and shelving is a must,' adds Juliette Thomas, Founder, Juliettes Interiors . 'Living rooms are often spaces for entertaining so keep the floor clear and tidy, and hide items away that aren’t used everyday into statement storage. Whether it’s built into the alcoves or a stunning free-standing bookshelf, it can be a beautiful feature to be admired.'

How do you organise a cluttered living room?

Start by pinning down the rooms main purpose. Is it a living room and also a play area? Is it a place you need to work in? Perhaps it's a space to unwind and read in. For most of us these days, our living spaces have multiple purposes but try to nail down what the room is used for to work out what living room storage ideas you need in relation to what you actually need to store.  

'Sort the items into categories,' advises Rob Ellis, Head of Design, dwell . 'Favourite items to display, items that are used everyday (such as remote controls, laptops) and others which can be put away that are rarely needed.'

'Consider packing away the objects that you don’t need on display into cupboards,' continues Rob. 'Display your favourite pieces like books, vases or photographs on a beautiful bookshelf or freestanding shelves, that also offer easy accessibility. For everyday items, manage them into zones such as a tray on a coffee table for a remote control.'

Hiding away any kids stuff will also help to organise a cluttered family living room ideas. 'If like me, you enjoy the look of a more adult room once the kids have gone to bed, ensure you choose furniture with your tastes in mind too,' says Vicky Silverthorn, Professional Organiser at You Need a Vicky . 'You can still buy cube storage very much suited to children’s toy storage, just buy it without the characters or in primary colours. Instead choose baskets and boxes in colours and styles that still look smart and sophisticated. '

How do you organise shelves in a living room?

Go for a mixture of open and closed shelves for your living room storage ideas, so you can still give yourself plenty of space to hide away the 'ugly' stuff. Open shelves are great to making a display of books, vases and accessories, but things like extra candles, work-out DVD's, and games consoles will be better suited to live behind closed doors.

Think about balance and symmetry when you're organising your living room shelves, yes they are there as a practical tool to store your things, but they can also look pretty too! 

'When it comes to the art of display, you should set the look before you begin so that it is styled randomly, but isn't just a whole host of objects that you have plonked into position,' explains Emma from Kelling Designs. 'You want to achieve a beautiful and balanced look so always plan, test and if you feel like you have one thing too many, then you're probably right and should remove something. Always use uneven numbers and group things in threes or fives - odd numbers help to add balance and are much easier on the eye.'

West London Home

myDNAproject

About This Project This project was to design a comfortable apartment space in a beautiful location in West London. The family that resides in this home wanted to demonstrate their individual styles and tastes with the final result being a soothing sense of calmness and relaxation. Our project scope was to find a balance with all the different design styles, therefore to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing interior design for them. We combined diverse and complementary items, which when put together created a balanced look. We choose a selection of green colour shades for the dining chairs, footstool, vases and fabric patterns to create a connection between the interior and exterior. The simply gorgeous honey oak blind fabric gave the residence control of light without losing the view of the garden and allowing an element of privacy. The rustic elements displayed from the shelving unit were combined with bespoke rope handles and then an introduction of flora, by including beautiful rich green plants bringing our clients closer to a sense of nature and freedom within their home – Leaving them with a far-away thought that the property was actually within urban London. The modern designed corner sofa and crisp clear straight lines of the workable spacious kitchen maintained a modern flair in the open-plan space. The bespoke natural wood slab dining table was complemented with a matching bench on the opposite side, with guests and residents treated to luxurious velvet green dining chairs – The mood here we will describe as cosy. The bespoke high-end designer wallpaper mural, made from two frames, to create a magnificent piece of artwork was a huge component for this project and complements all the decor. The wallpaper pattern is an invitation not only to discover the unexpected diversity of beauty in all of its forms but also creates a welcoming and atmospheric area to enjoy at any time of the day. The open plan design encourages interaction and socialisation of all the family and guests, as they will enjoy and feel welcomed into this space. The skylights flood the area with natural light and give the impression of height, with the sky visible above – “The simple things in life like a clear blue sky can bring so much pleasure”. The connection of all the items mentioned from this project creates an abundance of a delightful interior design combination – Giving a refreshing and revitalising atmosphere. We loved completing this project – And as for the end result – you can see for yourself.

Handmade in London, or What can be made from glass, felt and metal - INMYROOM

Interior decor

Fragile metal garden sculptures, weightless glass "feathers" and heavy gray felt "boulders": British designers use ordinary materials with unusual manner. Check it out, you'll love it

From 6 to 9 October, the London Borough of Richmond hosted its second edition of Handmade in Britain, where the UK's most talented applied artists show and sell their work. Designer Irina Fitsuk talks about the objects that impressed her the most. nine0003

Irina Fitsuk

designer

Irina Fitsuk is a designer, founder and organizer of the HOTCHIN studio, which greens roofs and balconies, modernizes underground parking lots and renovates old apartments.

1. Do you like tweed?

Designer Emma Dolan makes charming lamps and floor lamps from real Scottish tweed. Of course, all safety issues are taken into account in her products; the British, who love instructions, do not do it differently. nine0003

The inside of the lampshade is made of a special fire-resistant material that Emma buys in rolls from specialized stores. The outer part of the plafond is tweed applications on the theme of Scandinavian fairy tales.

Tweed, produced in the northern part of the island and imbued with the unique beauty of the northern sea, sky, grass and scant sun, lends itself to such motifs. A godsend for a designer working on a Scandinavian-style interior.

2. Only feathers fly

Aline Johnson is a sorceress from the English county of Dorset, who easily bends colored glass into individual parts of chandeliers and even into entire lamps. Her stripes, echoing the ideas of Paul Smith, beloved by many, will not be lost in either light or dark interiors. And multi-colored "feathers", from which you can assemble a chandelier of any size, seem to float in the air.

3. Mystery Flowers

Artist and designer MissFire creates delightful and exhilarating metal flowers with colorful glass inlays. Her work is well known in the UK, and is used to decorate a garden or entrance group, and sometimes the facade of a building. Inconspicuous, but bright, a little mysterious plants suggest thoughts about other worlds. nine0003

4. Sculpture vases

Samanta Bunn, a ceramist, creates objects that cannot be called vases. Suitable for ultra-modern interiors and classic gardens. I am a happy owner of her mobile phone number, I will be happy to share it with those who are also impressed by her work.

5. Stones that you want to sit on

Many people know Charlotte Molenaar's felt works, but not many have seen her felt pebbles. Objects made of materials that are uncharacteristic of them with opposite characteristics always make a strong impression. Cold pebbles made of warm felt... just want to touch it. nine0003

6. Flower beds on the wall

Vanessa Hogge porcelain panels, vases and flowers are as delicate as the designer herself, but very durable. The strength has been personally tested: after several days of wear, not a single petal fell off the ring, made by the designer.

Vanessa's works are modern and poetic, well remembered. It is no coincidence that the organizers of the exhibition placed them on the covers of all advertising booklets.

Settlement Reserve | Halloween Home Decor Ideas | Magazine about life outside the city

Halloween has already become an international holiday, which is celebrated every year on October 31st. Initially, it originated on the territory of modern Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but at the end of the 20th century it began to spread and took root even in the countries of Asia, Europe and Russia. Colorful attributes, costumes, interesting surroundings made Halloween popular. nine0075

On this day, it is customary not only to dress up yourself, but also to decorate your house in an interesting way. In the USA, they even hold various contests among those who actively decorate their homes. The main places for decorating a country house are windows, a porch and a courtyard.

All the most sinister and creepy items will look appropriate and creative this holiday. The basic set with which you can decorate the house is pumpkins, artificial poutine, candles. You can carve a Halloween symbol from a pumpkin and place a candle or lantern inside. You can also decorate the house with plain paper by making a garland with silhouettes of pumpkins, bats, ghosts again. If you still have wigs and masks left from the masquerades, then they can also come in handy on October 31 to make a creepy scarecrow that you can decorate the yard with. nine0003

Ordinary old sheets can be used to imitate ghosts, which are also attributes of the holiday. They can be made not only from a sheet, but from ordinary balls or white plastic bottles, drawing eyes and mouth on them - it all depends on your imagination. Almost every country dweller has a broom in the household, which can be beaten as a means of transportation for a witch, simply decorating and a creepy attribute will be ready for Halloween.

​

After the harvesting season, many have left various defective jars, for example, which can be filled with colored detergent or other interesting objects, liquids, thereby imitating various potions. nine0003

When you have your own country house, the fantasy of how to decorate, decorate and improve it can work endlessly. And if you also have a lot of design and landscape ideas, but so far there is no ideal place where you can implement all this, we suggest signing up for an excursion to the Zapovednik group of villages. The village, surrounded by a century-old forest, is located 23 km from the border of Yekaterinburg along the Chelyabinsk tract, Sysertsky district. New engineering networks, developed infrastructure and pristine nature are successfully combined in one place. nine0003
