For those who don't have a finished basement or enough space, the living room often doubles as a playroom. Here are some storage ideas to hide the toys that always seem to be lying around.
The cubes
The cubes are discreet storage spaces and, moreover, they can be used as a table or an occasional bench. Often, we can find cubes that will fit well with our decor, without weighing it down too much, at a very nice low price.
Coffee table
Need a new coffee table? Choose one like the one offered by Tovtov.com that offers built-in storage! There are many models offered and you will certainly find one that will be to your liking.
Under the stairs
You have free space under the stairs: turn it into storage space! Discreet and so practical, you can hide children's toys in it in no time. We can also take the opportunity to build a secret space for them, in which they can go and play.
Chest
Romantic soul? The classic chest never goes out of style andit provides plenty of storage space. If you are an antique lover, you will find a lot of models in antique shops or in the classifieds. There are also more modern ones, in the shops.
Built-in bench
It is often seen in the entrance hall, but the built-in bench is also tasteful in a large living room. Near a window, with comfy cushions and a soft throw, it serves as a reading nook, and when one needs to put away the kids' toys quickly, they're tucked inside. Neither seen nor known!
TV area
If you need a TV stand, choose the biggest one, with extra storage space. So you can easily store children's toys inside, as well as your collection of movies, music or books.
Giving new life to furniture
From time to time, we like to change the decoration. Instead of getting rid of an old chest of drawers or a sideboard, the old television cabinet, we recover it to store the children's toys.
Baskets
In all sizes, colors and shapes: baskets are so practical when it comes time to improvise storage in tight spaces! They can easily be slipped into a bookcase or sideboard, for example, or placed on shelves,on the wall. In addition, they make storage a lot easier, since you can walk around with them and pick up as you go.
