After a long day at work, and hanging your winter wear in your organized entryway<\/a>, the first thing you want to do is bury yourself under a pile of blankets and curl up to a good book in your living room. Or maybe a good bottle of wine paired with the latest episode of Broad City<\/a>. \u00a0But it\u2019s tough to unwind in your living room if it\u2019s weighed down by scattered items that would be better off out of sight, or at the very least, off the floor. Give your most lived in room a space-lift with any one of these five stylish storage solutions:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Podpad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hailing from the city whose name was decided by a coin flip, Portland, the wall-mountable Podpad<\/a> is the reigning champion of pulling triple duty. Open it\u2019s four doors to reveal eight compartments and zero disappointment. It\u2019s essentially a medicine cabinet (for your iPhone, charging dock, keys, mail, and other small items) and<\/i> a murphy bed for your MacBook. \u00a0Close the doors and you have a contemporary conversation piece wrapped in walnut singing, \u201cNow I\u2019ve got you in my space, I won\u2019t let go of you. Got you shackled in my embrace, I\u2019m latching on to you.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Brix<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine the magic of LEGOs with your taste for the finer things in life and you\u2019ve got Brix<\/a>. Stack them, stagger them, situate them horizontally, mix-and-match colors, or go all white everything for a pristine powder look. \u00a0After you\u2019ve unleashed your imagination, unleash Brix\u2019s European Birch plywood drawers and stash your cash. Or more logical things like your iPad, books, magazines, yoga mat, and mementos. Have a lamp, TV, or photo frame that needs a spot to chill? Strut its stuff on top of Brix\u2019 steel-reinforced, high-gloss polyester-lacquered roof. So fancy.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0RKNL20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief, this curvaceous centerpiece from Brooklyn is not an upside down AirPort Extreme<\/a>. The graceful RKNL20<\/a> is actually a floating rest stop for your coffee mug and pretty feet. \u00a0Slide your magazines, coffee table books, and TV remote in the space between the two discs and guess what? You just made the world\u2019s sexiest sandwich that oozes nothing but refinement. \u00a0Best of all, the RKNL20 comes in different sizes and colors. Worst of all, you have to wait 12 weeks for this made-to-order masterpiece to land at your door.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0As If From Nowhere….<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live in a small apartment? Designed by former ballerina Orla Reynolds, As if from nowhere\u2026<\/a> is your perfect companion. It helps feed your beautiful mind and face in half the space. \u00a0Play peek-a-boo with the multi-colored shapes between the shelves, and in mere seconds, the unassuming bookcase turns into a playful dining set for you, two guests, and an imaginary friend.<\/p>\n

What? Your table and chairs no longer have to waste precious square-footage? Awww yeah.<\/p>\n
