Tips for Creating Hidden Storage

Need more storage in your living room? You don’t have to line your walls with shelving and cabinets. Get tips for creating hidden storage in this Wayfair.com video:

1. Store items that don’t need to be accessed frequently, such as seasonal decor, in a trunk end table. If you don’t plan on setting a lamp on the trunk, use it to store kids’ toys, extra blankets and board games.

2. Use a hidden bookshelf on wheels to hide storage behind your sofa. Assemble the bookshelf, flip it on its side, and drill casters into the bottom of the bookshelf. Add books, magazines, blankets and games that you don’t use every day and slide the bookshelf behind the sofa.

3. A storage ottoman does double-duty as furniture and as a place to store items like slippers, blankets, books and stuff animals. It can also be used in a closet to store shoes.
