Trying to keep your living room organized can feel impossible, especially if you have young kids. But the right furniture can make all the difference! These living room organization ideas can help you create a clutter-free space that will help keep you from constantly losing the remote or stepping on those painful Lego pieces.
Invest in an Entertainment Center

Whether you’re decorating a small living room or trying to keep your large living room from filling up with clutter, investing in an entertainment center can help solve your storage problems. Not only do they store TVs, cable boxes and game consoles, but if you choose an option with drawers and display space, you can also store your video games, remotes, DVDs, and other accessories.
Create Coffee Table Storage

When it comes to living room storage, coffee tables can pull a lot of weight. Whether you choose a two-tiered table that offers extra display space or a coffee table with drawers to store remotes, magazines, and tablets, your coffee table can serve as much needed storage to help you stay organized.
Use a Console Table Behind the Couch

Depending on your living room layout, you might have some extra space behind the couch. If that’s your situation, we recommend utilizing that limited space with a console table that features drawers or shelves for all your storage and display needs.
Add Ottoman Storage

Does it feel like your living room is always covered in blankets and toys? Choosing an ottoman with hidden storage is one of our favorite living room organization ideas.
Repurpose a Stylish Dresser

Have some underutilized space in the corner of your living room? Try repurposing a dresser or cabinet for extra storage. They don’t tend to take up much space, but they do offer a variety of hidden storage. We recommend giving each family member a drawer and using dividers and bins to make a storage space that fits their unique needs.
Turn a Bar Cart into Portable Storage

Whether you’re dealing with clutter from your current knitting project or from your child’s remote schooling, turning a bar cart into portable storage is a great way to keep everything you need together without letting it clutter the room. That way, when you’re using it, it can be out in the living room, and when you’re done with it, you can hide the clutter in the closet.
