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).

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 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.

If you like to display your figurines and creations, here's a really cool way to do it.
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.

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.

They have these at Target right now and they’re so cute. Our guest bathroom is horror movie themed so I got one to put QTips in and it makes me happy everytime I look at it.
Ikea Trofast is a great, inexpensive toy storage option, and adding these decals will give them a huge upgrade.
