Celebrity professional organizers Sisters of Style share their favorite toy storage solutions to help keep your living room tidy without sacrificing aesthetics.
If you live in a house with children but don’t have a nursery or playroom, it quickly becomes apparent that everywhere you go, you see a sea of ​​toys out of the corner of your eye.
It’s no surprise that toys can take up a lot of space, and often the storage space needed to stash those toys can be very “colorful, bright, and not very aesthetically pleasing to most people,” notes organizing duo Style Sisters.
“That’s why we came up with some of our collections. We came up with big wicker baskets so you can arrange them neatly in your living room.”
Sister Style added: “They will match your current decor, won’t be too bright or flashy, and can also be used to store toys.”
There’s no denying that round furniture is undoubtedly one of our favourite living room decor trends, so if it means we can best combine functionality and style, we’re more than happy to do so.
The Boucle storage bags from their debut collection are available from Next and Very for £26 and come in cream or black, so you can decide which option suits your space best.
If you’ve got a fancy playroom or fancy adding a bit of personality to your child’s space, this tidying set also includes a felt storage bin with PU ‘Play’ lettering, available from Very for £14.
Even if you want to satisfy your child’s need for toys, this does not mean that you have to say goodbye to the color scheme of your living room.
Overall, the best advice from the Style Sisters is to choose storage baskets and cabinets that fit your chosen aesthetic. It’s entirely your choice, so have fun with it—even if it’s a toy cabinet.
