You know what kills a bedroom’s vibe faster than anything? Clutter around your TV. Tangled cables, random remotes, gaming controllers, that stack of DVDs you swear you’ll watch someday—it all adds up to visual chaos.
I used to have a floating TV with zero storage underneath, and my bedroom looked like a Best Buy exploded. Then I discovered that smart TV wall storage isn’t just about hiding stuff—it’s about creating a system that keeps your bedroom looking clean and intentional. Game changer.
These 22 storage ideas will help you banish bedroom clutter while making your TV wall actually work for you. No more wondering where the remote went or staring at that pile of cables with regret. Let’s do this.
1. Floor-to-Ceiling Built-In Cabinet System
Go all-in with custom built-in cabinets that surround your TV from floor to ceiling.
You get closed storage for everything you want hidden, open shelving for display, and the TV sits perfectly integrated into the whole system. I’ve seen these painted in single colors for a seamless look, and they’re absolute clutter-killers. Every remote, cable box, book, and random thing finally has a home behind closed doors.
Storage capacity: Maximum. You can literally hide everything while maintaining a clean, designer aesthetic.
2. Floating Media Console with Drawers
A sleek floating console with multiple drawers keeps clutter contained while looking modern and minimal.
The floating aspect creates visual lightness (your floor stays clear!), and those drawers swallow up all your TV-related chaos. I personally love soft-close drawers because nothing says “I have my life together” like drawers that close smoothly and quietly. Look for consoles with cable management cutouts in the back—your future self will thank you.
3. Modular Cube Storage Units
Stackable cube organizers flanking your TV create customizable storage that you can rearrange as needed.
Mix open cubes for display with fabric bins for hidden storage. You can create asymmetrical arrangements or keep things balanced—whatever works for your space. The beauty here? You can add more cubes as your storage needs grow, and you can move the whole system when you rearrange. Super flexible, super practical.
Styling Cube Storage
Alternate between open styled cubes (books, plants, decor) and closed storage cubes (bins containing all your random stuff). This creates visual interest while maintaining the clutter-free look.
4. Hidden Storage Behind Panels
Install push-to-open wall panels that conceal storage shelves behind them.
From the outside, you see a clean wall. Open those panels, and boom—storage galore. This works brilliantly for people who want their bedroom to look minimalist and uncluttered. Everything stays accessible but completely hidden. IMO, this is peak adult bedroom design.
5. TV Stand with Closed Storage
Sometimes simple is best: a low-profile TV stand with cabinet doors that hide everything.
Choose one with enough compartments for your streaming devices, gaming consoles, and all those accessories. The key is closed storage—no open shelves collecting dust and visual clutter. I’ve used stands with slide-open doors, and they’re fantastic for maintaining that clean bedroom vibe while keeping everything organized.
6. Built-In Shelving with Baskets
Create open shelving around your TV and fill it with uniform baskets or bins.
The baskets keep clutter contained while looking intentional and styled. Choose woven baskets for warmth, wire baskets for industrial vibes, or fabric bins for softness. Label them if you’re really organized (or just use them to toss stuff in and pretend you’re organized—also valid).
Basket selection tips:
- Stick to one style and color for cohesion
- Get sizes that fit your shelves perfectly
- Leave some shelves open for display balance
- Choose baskets with handles for easy access
7. Corner Storage Unit
Maximize awkward corners with a purpose-built corner TV storage unit.
These units fit snugly into corners and provide surprising amounts of storage without taking up main wall space. Perfect for smaller bedrooms where every inch counts. The triangular design creates storage depth while keeping your primary walls open and uncluttered.
8. Drawer Units Flanking TV
Install matching drawer units on both sides of your TV for symmetrical storage.
This creates balance while doubling your storage capacity. You can use these for clothes, accessories, bedroom essentials, or TV-related stuff. The symmetry looks intentional and high-end, while the closed drawers keep everything hidden and your bedroom looking perpetually clean.
9. Lift-Top Storage Bench Below TV
Place a storage bench with lift-top lid beneath your TV for bonus seating and hidden storage.
You get a place to sit while you’re putting on shoes, plus storage for extra blankets, pillows, or off-season clothes. The bench grounds your TV visually while serving double duty. I’ve used these for storing throw blankets, and it’s incredibly convenient to have them right where you need them.
| Storage Type | Accessibility | Visual Impact | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lift-top bench | Medium | Minimal | Soft items |
| Drawer console | High | Low profile | Daily items |
| Closed cabinets | Medium | Very clean | Everything |
| Open shelves + bins | High | Styled look | Mix of items |
10. Recessed Wall Storage Niche
If you’re renovating, recess storage into the wall around your TV.
Built-in niches create architectural storage that doesn’t protrude into your room. Add doors to some sections for hidden storage, leave others open for display. This looks custom and expensive while providing tons of clutter-busting capacity. The flush installation maintains clean lines and maximizes floor space.
11. Sliding Door Cabinet System
Sliding barn-style doors or modern sliding panels conceal storage shelves beside your TV.
The sliding mechanism saves space (no door swing clearance needed), and you can reveal or hide your storage with a simple slide. I’ve seen this done with rustic barn doors for farmhouse vibes and sleek panels for modern aesthetics. Both work beautifully for keeping clutter out of sight.
12. Vertical Ladder Storage
Lean a ladder shelf unit next to your TV for vertical storage that doesn’t require wall mounting.
Each rung provides a shelf for baskets, books, or decorative boxes containing your clutter. This works especially well in rentals or if you like to rearrange frequently. Style the visible items nicely, and use decorative boxes on certain shelves to hide the less-pretty stuff. 🙂
13. Ottoman Storage Collection
Group storage ottomans near your TV wall for flexible, movable storage.
They provide extra seating when friends visit, footrests for Netflix marathons, and hidden storage for all your random bedroom stuff. You can rearrange them as needed, and they’re perfect for storing things like extra pillows, blankets, or seasonal items. FYI, ottomans with removable tops are easiest to access.
14. Media Console with Open and Closed Sections
Choose a TV console that mixes open shelves with closed cabinets for balanced storage.
Display pretty things on open shelves (styled boxes, plants, books), and hide messy essentials behind cabinet doors (cables, remotes, gaming stuff). This combination keeps your TV wall interesting to look at while maintaining serious clutter control where it counts.
What to Display vs. Hide
Display: Decorative objects, books, plants, framed photos Hide: Cables, remotes, chargers, gaming controllers, DVDs, random tech accessories
15. Wall-Mounted Cabinets Above TV
Install shallow wall cabinets above your TV for additional storage that doesn’t take floor space.
These work great for items you don’t need daily access to—extra bedding, off-season clothes, or rarely-used electronics. The upper placement keeps your eye-level area clean while maximizing vertical storage. Just make sure the cabinets don’t overwhelm your TV or make the wall feel too heavy.
16. Bookshelf Surround with Doors
Create a library-style bookshelf wall with your TV integrated and some sections behind doors.
The open shelving showcases books and decor, while cabinets hide clutter. This works beautifully in bedrooms where you want that cozy, sophisticated vibe. The mix of open and closed storage gives you flexibility in what you display versus what you conceal.
17. Drawer Tower Units
Place tall, narrow drawer towers on one or both sides of your TV.
These vertical storage solutions provide lots of capacity without eating up wall width. Perfect for storing folded clothes, accessories, or anything that needs organizing. The narrow footprint works in tight spaces, and you can customize drawer organization with dividers for maximum clutter control.
18. Hidden Compartment Floating Shelf
Install a floating shelf below your TV with a hidden flip-down compartment.
From the outside, it looks like a simple shelf. Flip it down, and you’ve got storage for remotes, chargers, or small items. This is sneaky-good storage that maintains completely clean lines. I love solutions like this because they’re functional without advertising themselves.
Perfect for storing:
- TV remotes (finally, a permanent home!)
- Charging cables
- Small electronics
- Reading glasses
- Headphones
19. Custom Closet-Style System
Treat your TV wall like a closet organization system with customized compartments.
Include hanging space for robes, drawers for clothes, shelves for accessories, and a designated TV nook. This all-in-one approach works brilliantly in smaller bedrooms where you need every wall to multitask. Everything has a specific place, which is the secret to maintaining a clutter-free bedroom long-term.
20. Rolling Storage Cart
Keep a slim rolling cart tucked beside your TV console for portable storage.
You can wheel it out when you need something, then tuck it back. Great for storing things like nail polish, skincare, books you’re currently reading, or hobby supplies. The mobility means you can move it wherever you need it, and it slides out of sight when you want your bedroom looking pristine.
21. Pegboard Organization Panel
Mount a decorative pegboard beside your TV for customizable hanging storage.
Hang baskets, hooks, or small shelves to organize remotes, headphones, or decorative items. You can reconfigure the setup anytime by simply moving the pegs. Paint the pegboard to match your wall or make it an accent color. This solution is both practical and surprisingly stylish when done right.
22. Under-Bed Storage Coordination
While not technically part of your TV wall, coordinating under-bed storage completes your clutter-free bedroom system.
Use rolling bins or drawer units under your bed for items that don’t need to be near your TV. This frees up your TV wall storage for items you actually use in that area. The coordinated system means everything in your bedroom has a designated home, and nothing sits out creating visual clutter.
Creating Your Clutter-Free System
Here’s the truth: storage only works if you actually use it.
You can have the most beautiful TV wall storage in the world, but if you don’t put things away, you’ll still have clutter. The key is choosing storage that makes sense for how you actually live. Be honest about what you need to store, how often you access it, and what will realistically stay organized.
Start by decluttering first. Get rid of stuff you don’t need, don’t use, or don’t love. Then design your storage around what remains. You might need lots of hidden storage for tech stuff, or maybe you need display space for your book collection. Your storage should reflect your actual life, not an idealized version of it.
The best TV wall storage solutions combine form and function. They look good, work efficiently, and make your daily life easier. When you nail this combination, maintaining a clutter-free bedroom becomes effortless instead of exhausting.
So pick the storage ideas that fit your space, your style, and your stuff. Install them properly, use them consistently, and enjoy the peace that comes with a bedroom that finally stays organized. Your clutter-free bedroom is waiting—and it’s going to look so good. :/
