This versatile Ikea storage is great for Lego storage. Use the smaller drawers to separate out figurines, vehicles, or bricks by color. The bigger drawers are great for base plates and bulkier sets. I also saw this cute hack to add a lego building surface to the top of the shelving units.

These Ikea drawers + drawer dividers = a sleek and easy-to-maintain system. Here's a pic of what it can look like (from ikeahackers.net).

Jonti-Craft Wood LEGO Rectangle Storage Table
Mesh bag is visually a miss for me but I feel like there could be a possible way to fix the aesthetics of it? Keeping legos off the floor and slightly more away, but a bit pricy. Maybe a DIY version is possible

My dad is a doctor, and growing up we had one of these in the lobby of his practice. I remember spending HOURS playing with it, truly such a great invention.

Fun Builder Table w/ Storage Bag (Duplo Compatible)
My dad is an allergist and growing up we had one of these in the waiting room of his office. It was truly the best, and I think more people should have them in their homes.

KOMPLEMENT drawer with glass front
Ok I haven't personally done this but now I NEED to. You build a PAX in your playroom. You add these clear-front drawers. You organize your legos into those drawers. Damn, it's sleek. Here are a couple of reference images I found online that are similar to what I'd do. I do think the smaller drawers and more of them would work better than these wide drawers seen below though, just FYI.

Micro-categories for the lego enthusiast
Ok, these labels are a bit large for my taste, but the categories are EXCELLENT and the whole idea is very smart and attainable.

IKEA Skadis Pegboard Minifig Display Stand
I really love any accessory that pairs with an Ikea pegboard, and this is no exception.

Obsessed. Such a cute display idea.
If you like to display your figurines and creations, here's a really cool way to do it.
If you're looking to display finished Lego creations, you're best served by getting them up on some floating shelves. These ones from Rejuvenation are our favorite because they're sturdy, they come in multiples sizes and color-ways, and they look good in every room of a home.

I couldn't find the exact link for this but I LOVE the look. Maybe someone could DIY it.

A useful tool for storing your pieces by color.
Often times it's best not to overthink these things. Simple, clear, divided bins are excellent for lego storage. Pop them a shelf with a label and you're good to go.
This is the most simple, cost-effective way to store legos. Organize them by color, type, shape, whatever makes sense for you, in these shoe boxes and add a label. This large size is the most versatile for most lego categories, but if you're going super micro you could get some smaller sizes too!
We use these pouches for SO many things. Smaller toys can be categorized together in one. Puzzles can be stored in one. Perfect for art supplies, perfect for legos, perfect for on-the-go. You can't go wrong.

MUJI Steel Tool Box No.3 White
Legos, pens, stamps + cards, makeup brushes, photos.
This thing is incredible. You can scan a QR code on your instruction book and it will look up your set and add it to your collection, and also give you 3d instructions to follow!! No need to keep all that extra paper, put it straight in the recycling bin. You can also look up old sets and add them to your online catalog.

How to clean up the fuse beads/legos/other tiny things
Great hack and my kids really like doing it themselves. HOT TIP: put a tight rubber band around the sock/hose if your kid is doing the vacuuming or your sock will disappear.
