Storage and organization products that are fairly easy on the eye?

Question

I'm looking for storage products that are fairly attractive, like ok to be out in the living room. Everything I see looks too "containerish" or meant for an attic or huge and designed for school classrooms.

Anyone know of any large storage products that aren't so bulky and storage looking?

(for kids toys, extra blankets, magazines etc. just basic storage needs)

It's ok if the design is targeted for children. that's fine. I'm not just not interested in the large bin types.

Answer 1

you could make a large bench seat with a flip up lid for storage, then get a nice cushion for on top to have extra seating. they have large coffee tables that flip up for storage also

Answer 2

Watch some of the organization programs on HGTV - they show lots of wonderful containers.
