DVD Storage Solutions
July 16, 2012
My husband I are big movie buffs. We don’t agree on everything but like a lot of the same things. We both love the classics, especially the Marx Brothers, Bogie and Bacall, and anything with Katherine Hepburn. We also love classic thrillers, zombie flicks and occasional foreign cinema. When it comes to modern dramas and comedies there’s a bit more of a difference between our tastes. But that’s okay because those little differences are what keep things interesting, right?
Anyway needless to save we have a pretty expansive collection of DVD’s. Admittedly, it took until very recently for me to get rid of all my VHS tapes. But with our last tax return, we went online and bought all of the remaining VHS movies in our collection on DVD. Now we have more movies than we’ve ever owned, but they take up less space.
Storage and organization is a big part of my life because I feel much more relaxed in my home if it’s tidy and well organized. Because movies had a tendency to dominate our home, it was important for me to give them their own special storage solution. And when it comes to storage furniture, I tend to gravitate toward modular solutions because they allow me to customize and rearrange things as needed.
There are two excellent styles of DVD holders for people who have large collections, as well as small ones. The more basic and utilitarian one is the Iris Media Box. These are great for people who want a simple and streamlined way of storing their DVD’s rather than a piece of furniture to dominate the room. You can put them on the floor, on a shelf, you can stack them – they’re very versatile.
We wanted something with a little more style, so we went with the Locking Media Storage Cabinet. I like this large cabinet because there is plenty of storage space for all of our new DVDs, and there is plenty of room to add more! Plus, it has a locking design so we can keep our expensive collection secured as necessary.
