Your living rooms may hold many different things that either don’t get used as much or don’t relate to anything in the room. For anything that is not used often, consider finding a hidden location for them like a closet or a standing cabinet that will open up the room. Cabinets serve well in any room and even add visual appeal while hiding things that are not used much. In addition, tables often become a piling ground for miscellaneous things. You can place those things in a convenient drawer.
When it comes to laundry rooms, they usually have decent space in them. Standing shelves will work great in a room like this and you can even use it to store toolboxes, tools, storage containers, hardware, etc. This works great if you don’t have a workshop to keep these things.
