The living room is the heart of every home.
Which means that over time, you end up filling it with lots and lots of stuff.
Here are 4 ways to organize a living room with closed, open, tech and movable storage.
Start off with closed storage for the items you'd rather hide away.
We chose a few smaller units; you'll be surprised at how much they can hold especially when you use the whole space, including the insides of the doors.
Next, group together a few smaller cabinets to create a sculptural effect.
You can even organize by activity and store similar items in the same cabinet.
Take advantage of all the surface space on top of the cabinets!
Use it as a place to display things, but remember to leave a bit of air to balance out the overall effect.
Now for the things you want to store and show off.
Adjust your shelves to different heights to create space for your favorite things.
Start by setting your foundation with bigger, bulkier items and things in boxes that you're not interested in displaying. They can go at the bottom of the bookshelf.
Next, move on to your books. Place them horizontally or vertically, but they definitely don't need to be in a straight row.
Then add your more decorative items like vases, photos and other collectibles.
Think about coordinating items by color and placing them at different heights to create some dimension.
Decorative boxes are great for storing smaller items.
You can also add glass doors to keep your things dust-free and secure.
Ok, let's turn the attention to your entertainment center because it's often the focal point of the room.
Add essentials to your media storage.
Keep things extra tidy by using furniture with smart cable management.
Plus some interior organizers for good measure. Then start storing away.
Up above, hang some artwork to soften the area around the TV. It will blend in nicely and become part of a beautiful display.
Last but definitely not least, we have movable storage.
You could use this trolley for pretty much anything.
We've lined the shelves with non-slip mats to keep everything from sliding around and the sides are high enough to keep things from falling.
No matter what your interests are, storage on wheels makes it really easy to bring them with you.
But we're big fans of entertaining and we've stocked it with everything you need for a night of having your friends over.
Now your trolley is all set up and ready to serve your guests.
And that's it! 4 ways to keep your living room organized, tidy and stylish all at once.
Enjoy!
