Living Room Organization

Modern, minimalist living room

When considering the word “organized” as it pertains to a living room, less is definitely more. Finding a place to store extra pillows and blankets is important, as well as a designated area for remote controls. A book case is not a bad idea if you have excess magazines, coffee table flip-through books, or your favorite author’s newest novel. There’s nothing like curling up on the couch with your coffee and favorite read. However, if your living room is not organized, it can be hard to relax to the fullest and enjoy the space.

  • Invest in an Entertainment Center that functions as an all-in-one storage area. These are great places to keep everything TV related (DVD player, Video Game Consoles, Remotes, DVDs), as well as books, blankets and pillows. 

  • Use an old ladder to hang blankets.

  • Repurpose an old dresser as a TV stand.

  • Use a two-tier coffee table for extra storage below for books, magazines, photos and more.

  • A coffee table with drawers can store extra pillows and blankets.

  • Or go with a lift-top coffee table.

  • Repurpose a trunk as a coffee table.

  • Use end tables that have multiple tiers or drawers.

  • A small bookshelf can double as an end table.

  • Place a long, thin table behind the couch for photos, plants, decorative pieces, and storage.

  • Hang shelves and cabinets on walls.

  • Pull out bins are a great way to store kid’s toys.

  • A wooden crate is a great way to store pet toys.

  • Hang plants from the ceiling.

  • Store books and magazines on wall racks.

  • Use a wooden caddy for remotes.

  • Or use a hollow book box for remotes.

  • Slat walls are great for hiding TV cords.
