Blankets are going to flood your tiny place! Oh no!
If you live in a small place like an apartment or small house, trying to figure out where to store all of those comfy blankets in a stylish way can be quite the headache.
How do you find storage for large blankets?

Living Room Blanket Storage Ideas
Storing blankets in your living room can be tricky – you want to keep things neat and tidy but also cozy.
I don’t know about you, but as soon the temperature drops a hair, I’m all decked out in my coziest gear and needing about a million blankets when I watch Netflix.
But then I fall asleep and just dump all the blankets on the couch and go to bed.
Oh, no I didn’t!
With a small place, you CAN’T do this!
Luckily, there are easy ways for getting the most out of any limited space.
Try adding a pull-out sofa in the living room that doubles as a day bed or sleeping bunk come nightfall.
That way, you can corral all your extra bedding in one place without having to find other places in the house.
Win-win!
Of course, when it comes to blanket storage ideas it’s always best to find something that fits your style and reflects your personality – if nothing else it’ll make snuggling up on the sofa with a good book even cozier!
