How do I add storage to my living room?
There are countless ways to maximise your space and add smarter storage to your living area. From floating shelves and bookcases to sideboards and storage cupboards, there are plenty of options to consider to find the perfect storage solution for you.
Install Shelves
Shelves are a great way to add extra storage to your living room. They work to create additional storage space by utilising wall space instead of adding excess clutter to the floor. This provides more storage without oversaturating your living space with additional furniture – ideal if you’re working with a smaller living space without free room for sideboards and other storage units and you’re wondering, “How do I organise my small living room?”
Whether you opt for floating shelves, floor-standing bookshelves or any other shelf style, you’ll be provided with functional storage space that adds to your room decor. Ideal for storing a range of items, shelves are multi-functional living room storage options that can help expand your available area by using free wall space.
Shelving units and bookshelves, such as the Miniforms Matassa bookshelf, are also a great option if you cannot utilise wall space with regular shelving. The open-space shelves are large enough to store various things beyond books, making them the perfect go-to for visible storage and decoration.
Console tables
Console tables provide easy storage around the perimeter of your living room, offering up extra drawer space and an additional surface to house any tabletop item you might want to keep close at hand or make an aesthetically pleasing flat layout with.
Console tables don’t have to follow the traditional Victorian-esque designs either. Today, you’ll find various styles and designs of console tables to browse through, so regardless of whether your decor is modern, vintage or Art Deco, you’ll find the right one to suit your taste.
Sideboards
If console tables don’t provide enough storage space for you, then sideboards may be the perfect answer. Sideboards provide multi-functional storage and typically comprise drawers, cupboards and sometimes even shelves, depending on your style choice.
Sideboards don’t have to be the big, bulky, Victorian-style furniture that typically comes to mind. Modern, contemporary sideboards make the best of using up your room space more subtly and aesthetically pleasingly whilst maximising storage space efficiently.
Storage Cupboards
You can never beat a good storage cupboard for effective living room storage. Whether you’re looking for space to store children’s toys, books, paperwork or more, cupboards provide the perfect space to hide your belongings from sight. Cupboards offer efficient, hidden storage, ideal for minimal clutter and decor.
Cupboards are available in many styles and designs to suit your living room interior. They can be wall-mounted or floor-standing and are available in corner-shaped styles to use your living room shape best.
