A smart blanket storage solution ensures your throw blankets, quilts and comforters are there when you or a loved one catches a chill or just wants to snuggle up. Some have lids while others are open. Some lean against the wall while others are freestanding. And some are standalone pieces while others are hidden within furniture. As you can see, there are plenty of options for storing your bedding.
Think about style, size, functionality and price before making your final selection, and you’re sure to end up with the best blanket storage idea for your space.
Cotton Rope Basket
Big enough to hold up to three fluffy chenille blankets, this rope basket is woven from organic cotton rope and natural jute that’s soft so it won’t snag delicates. The handles make it easy to move between rooms, and the six color combinations ensure you’ll find one to fit your existing decor.
Storage Bench
For a small living room or bedroom, this bench doubles as storage to house your blankets. There are seven colors and four sizes, and the modern design fits in with a range of styles. To guests, it looks like a regular ottoman that they can put their feet up on, but you’ll know it’s storing a pile of cozy blankets.
Wall-Mounted Rack
The wall-mounted rack has more than one function. Besides folding up or hanging blankets, there’s room for hangers to store your jacket and a top shelf for decorative pieces. Pro tip: It’s good for quilts to be folded flat, so storing one on this rod helps retain its shape.
Wire Baskets
Designed for versatility, these wire baskets from Lavish Home are ideal for compact living spaces. The set of two round, metal baskets double as accent tables with their removable wooden lids that snap into place. Talk about multitasking furniture pieces!
Trunk with Wheels
As a smart small bedroom storage idea, this rolling trunk will be put to good use for years to come. With functionality and flair, the fabric-upholstered chest comes in 24 colors that work with practically any decor. The four locking wheels make the trunk easy to move wherever you decide to take it.
Wooden Armoire
This stunning wooden armoire not only refreshes your decor, but can just about double your blanket storage. Inside are two shelves that offer plenty of space for pillows and other accessories, too. The textured design painted in stoney gray and brass detailing make this a truly special piece.
Sofa Storage Unit
This sleeper sectional sofa offers an alternative to draping blankets over the back of the couch. Instead, tuck your blankets and throws beneath the seat cushions of this clever upholstered couch. The lid of the compartment stays open so you can easily take items in and out safely.
Wicker Storage Chest
This wicker chest is handwoven with a robust, braided paper rope that brings a breath of fresh air to simple storage containers. Radiating warmth and a casual vibe, the generously sized wicker trunk’s extra-deep dimensions can handle the puffiest fleece blanket you’ve got!
DIY Blanket Storage
The best blanket storage idea just might be a do-it-yourself- one. This on-trend blanket ladder is a smart and stylish way to hang your coziest pieces—and it can be made in just one day. All you need are wooden dowels (available at any hardware or home improvement center), a few simple tools and materials and paint. The completed ladder looks much more expensive than its estimated cost to build (just $20!).
