Having multimedia storage cabinets in the living room, TV or family room, is a great way to keep your CD’s, DVD’s and Bluerays off the floor and away from cluttered bookshelves. With that said, if your cabinets are full off your favorite movies and TV shows, make sure you secure the cabinets to the wall with a wall strap so the cabinets don’t tip over.

No matter if you live in a tiny apartment or small house, there’s always more storage needed in the kitchen than originally designed for. A simple, yet effective solution is to add a tall kitchen storage cabinet which will generate space and storage without taking up too much space. Great as a second pantry or as an all around storage space for linens, towels, cooking supplies and other kitchen related items.

CD / DVD storage cabinet
No matter if your entertainment centers are in the living room or the family room, chances are, especially if you have young children, your CD’s and DVD’s are strewn around the room more often than not. To get back your floor space, a CD/DVD storage cabinet can help maintain a clutter free environment, providing of course, that everyone abides by the simple rule of putting away the CD’s or DVD’s in their rightful cases when they are finished using them.

Storage ottoman
Multi-purpose furniture can be a great way to add additional storage to a room without making a room look too cluttered. Take a storage ottoman for example. You can find a beautiful leather (or leather-like) ottoman that can add not only a dimension of elegance to your living room or home office, but also a good deal of inner storage for all kinds of items and papers that may be left out in the open or on the floor.

Basement storage cabinets
If you have an unfinished basement and use it mostly to store stuff that you don’t want up in the main part of the house, plastic or metal basement storage cabinets can come in handy for items that you don’t want out in the open. Paint, tools, old toys, cleaning products or whatever else you don’t want upstairs can be stored nicely in cabinets. And of course, for added protection, especially if you have children, make sure you can easily lock the doors with a padlock or other lock mechanism.
