Show me your toy storage in a small living room

Im thinking of getting a 4x1 Kallax but it really doesn’t fit the rest of the furniture.
I’d also prefer to rotate toys and not sure how I’ll realistically manage this with a kallax.

Can you show me or describe to me your storage solutions please?!

I’d like something that goes under the tv ideally and isn’t too bulky as it’s a pretty small room.

I'm afraid ours was all IKEA. If you go for fabric boxes toy rotation is easy as you can just swap whole boxes over. We found it very easy to find alternative boxes/baskets elsewhere to fit the cube spaces.

I don't know what your style is like but could something like this fit in better? shoe storage bench with drawers or a low sideboard? Some people use IKEA Besta for toy storage and under TVs, especially in a main living area. But I appreciate it might also not be the style you're after.

Going tall and narrow is very effective in terms of cramming things in, and IKEA is hard to beat for that.

Also if you have legs on your sofas, you might be able to fit some pull out drawers underneath.
