DVD storage is one quick way to keep your living room clutter free and getting those films and box sets organised is probably on everyone's to-do list - not to mention those favourite CDs and videos that have survived the digital revolution. Lots of manufacturers and retailer websites will tell you how many DVD cases a shelf or piece of furniture will hold but, if not, and your collection is extensive it may be worth getting out the tape measure and working it out for yourself - and always future-proof with a bit of extra capacity. DVD storage units can range from wall-hung single shelves to floor-standing cupboards and drawers. Slimline towers are marvellous for squeezing into corners or between other pieces of furniture, but be sure to secure them to the wall if they are very tall. Look for materials and finishes that will work with existing furniture, whether that's a stylish contrasting DVD rack or a matching piece from a furniture range. This selection of our favourite pieces for DVD storage will help get you started.
Make a feature out of your DVD storage by displaying them on a quirky bamboo ladder. The contrasting grey shelves have a practical lip to keep all those DVD cases securely in place - perfect for a modern living room.
