Game controller storage

6 years ago

Hello everyone. I was trying to figure out the best way to store my gaming console controllers. I wasn't really looking for a container to hold everything in, but maybe some shelving ideas to store them. have any ideas? I saw an old wine rack and thought it might work, or maybe even a shoe storage cubby.

Yep, wine rack, shoe cabinet, cd shelves, pigeon hole cabinet...all could work. For a bit of fun or if you want them on display or easy to grab I like these from ikea http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/hooks-hangers/fjantig-hook-black-art-60347102/
Might need a little rubber cushion to stop them from slipping:)

If you're looking at getting new sofas why not consider the storage ones either with drawers or a lift up seat? Your son may just need help with Opening and closing. I don't know how many toys there are but also consider a cabinet in the corner by the fire. I assume the doors are symmetrical in the room although it doesn't look like it in the pic so I'd add your chairs in either corner by the door, as there looks to be room away from the wall, and push the sofas and table further towards the fire. Re light, you could go contemporary or traditional. I'd get something with several arms and hang it about 8ft off the floor. I think wall lights would also be great but then there's the mess with the walls so depends on budget... Do also add table lamps on the cabinet and maybe a side table. It's a lovely room btw

Hello Durnsford - I am not sure of your budget...here's some ideas for custom made storage. If you want a more affordable option then I would suggest Ikea. The first image is from a clients house with a custom made timber cabinet in the living room to incorporate books and storage for toys underneath. The second two bedroom images from Houzz are custom made storage ideas could be transferred into any room.

I wouldn't be ashamed, that's kids! What do you use the mini room off the study for? Does the ikea unit have storage baskets? Apparently the kallax replaced your unit so they do the branas basket which should fit? They're £15 each though so not cheap. That may then hide some of the stuff. What if you were to paint it in a chalk or really matt paint and maybe pop an ornament or 2 on top, do you think that would blend better? I would either move your bench elsewhere, or get some baskets to go underneath. You could look at a storage bench ( there are a handful on ebay with free p&p that aren't too dear or have a look at maybe an old fashioned wooden blanket box ( although my nan used to have one and I was convinced it was a coffin!). They are quite big and store a lot and could look good? Have you heard of streetlife? I signed up to it a few weeks ago and people also offer unwanted items on there so may be worth a look. It's definitely worth getting a cupboard costed up

The range of furniture that had peaked my interest was the Bronx range at Next:- https://www.next.co.uk/shop/department-homeware-productaffiliation-furniture-story-bronx I also like the Bromley range from Dunelm:- https://www.dunelm.com/search?q=Bromley And there are a few pieces that I like from Barker and Stonehouse:- https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/living-room/TV-Stands-&-Cabinets/Treviso-Wall-TV-Unit/2-6659-96369/ Although I’m a little reluctant to modify new pieces it might be the only option (modern controllers use a Bluetooth connection so visibility isn’t an issue anymore), the main issue I’m having is that simply the drawers // cupboards // sections don’t accommodate the consoles enormous size (I have both a PS5 and an XSX, the XSX seems to just fit for the most part but nothing has a compartment large enough for the PS5) and that’s before having to possibly add cabinet extraction to prevent overheating. This isn’t the fault of the furniture designers, just a combo of the new games hardware growing ever bigger (were in small PC tower territory now) and the obscure (horrific IMO) design choice making it look like some type of spaceship that simply won’t work in the majority of homes.
