For a stronger more protective portable storage container why not try a traditional style basket. With many styles available such as handy plastic style baskets, the slightly heavier resin woven style basket, or the softer more stylish fabric foldable baskets for when they’re not in use.

Drawers are a very common household item that are often underused or mis-managed. Have a drawer full of junk that you never use? Clear it out, not only does this help declutter your home but it gives you somewhere to store your DVDs.

If you’re lucky enough to have a spare room in your home, use it effectively! Spare rooms are great places for storage, workshops or even a mini-media center. Whatever you use it for a solid wood bookcase can be a great edition to it, especially for storing large numbers of DVDs. Bookcases can also be a great addition to any living room or hallway to break up any empty spaces you might have.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good ideas for small spaces include a simple DVD rack, the typical free standing tower style DVD rack can be a great way not only to store but display your DVD collection. By having your storage rack beside your TV in the living room, you can easily view your collection and show your love for your favourite films to all who visit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you don’t have much floor space in your home but still need somewhere to store your DVD collection, why not go vertical?  Look to the skies and install a series of shelves. By making use of your empty upper wall space with a few decorative shelves for your wall also making it easier to find a DVD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When possible digitizing your DVD collection onto an external hard drive can really maximise your portability and minimize the space taken up by your DVDs. With hard drives ranging from huge memory sizes like 4TB drives to the smaller but still respectfully sized 500Gb-1TB drives. Digital media storage can really improve your life as it makes your DVD collection easier to play and to back-up to protect against the worst case scenario of you losing your DVDs. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The space under our beds is often left to lost socks, odd tops and the most random of items that leave us asking “how on earth did that get there?”. So why not use that space more efficiently, organise your under bed storage using a box or storage bag.

 Style varies from the zip-up thick fabric under the bed bag to the more sturdy plastic  pop lid storage box with wheels. These can be a great answer for keeping your DVDs organised but out of the way if space is limited in your bedroom. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have a DVD collection that’s on the smaller side and you’re someone who likes to rewatch your collection often, keep your DVDs ready to go and nicely displayed by using your living room TV stand. A good sturdy tv stand with drawers can be a nice way to store your DVD player and DVD collection together  safely in an open living area. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cupboards are great additions to any home, typically used in the kitchen or bathroom for simple storage but wall mounted cupboards can be used all around the home for all sorts of reasons.

 DVD collections benefit from being stored in a cupboard as it can provide a nice out of the way, secure location for your DVDs to stay. Cupboards are easily customisable and you can fix a lock on them for ease, in case you have films unsuitable for the children in the home. 

 

IKEA is a fantastic place to look for the right cupboard for you to build a DVD storage area, just like when choosing the right unit at our site your storage choices matter and you should always look for your best offer.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A more creative and unique way of creating storage is if you have free standing stairs, install small floating shelves on the underside of them. This creates a function to a previously unused space. If you have an enclosed under stair area then turning that into a cupboard or small storage room works just as well for keeping your DVD collection out of the way and safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sci-Fi, Action, RomCom or Horror, whatever your movie tastes are make sure you keep them safe and secure. Hopefully these handy 12 ideas for how to get an at home DVD storage unit have helped maximise your storage capacity for your entertainment center.
