Best way to store toys/nappies/clothes in small flat

[hanstands]

We have very limited space [no bedroom space left] and with a second child coming along we need to reorganise our sitting room. Anyone any good storage solutions to tidy away kids' and baby stuff in a sitting room? Anyone know of any changing tables that don't look like changing tables that would look like a small dining table/drawers etc or large cupboards or drawers that would help our sitting room look more adult by storing away the toys/nappies/baby clothes etc at the end of the day? Thanks for any ideas in advance!

We have ikea expedit units which g

Fit various crates / baskets Nd are good for toy storage

We also have bonde cupboards with doors which fit the same boxes but not sure if they still make it

Our changing table is an old wooden dresser from habitat. Lots of storage inside and we have a changing mat on the top which can be stored down the side if you want it out of view. We then have a shelf above with nappies etc on which you could hide in lidless boxes. So is a normal looking bit of furniture rather than looking like baby stuff

congrats on number 2! :)

i second ikea expedit units, you can buy as big or as small you need and add more, and they look ok in any room really.

we use our coffee table to storage toys in the lounge - in three boxes under the table. my son takes almost every single car out of the boxes every morning, and I put them back in the box and under the coffee table every single evening, but the room looks tidy when the kids are in bed.

to be honest you might not even need a changing table - i have never used it with baby no2 , just change her on the floor/our bed etc.

good luck with everything xxx

We kept nappies and babygrows in little baskets in the living room down the side next to the sofa out of view and had a plastic change mat that we just hoofed under the sofa to store away. Worked really well.
