Here is what you'll need!
Adding Storage Space In Your Small Living Room
1. Hidden remote storage
Keep your remotes from cluttering your living room by hiding them under your coffee table. Attach one side of a velcro strip to the back of your remotes and the other half to the underside of your coffee table.
2. Make a simple side table
Upcycle a crate as a cute but functional side table. Store things like extra pillow, blankets and books in the lower shelf, and use the top as a convenient table top surface.
3. DIY Rope basket
Materials
Cardboard box
Twine
Hot glue
Large pillow case
Instructions
1. Ensure the bottom of the cardboard box is secure. If necessary, add tape. Push the flaps of the box inside to create and open box.
2. Starting at the bottom of the box, apply a small amount of hot glue and attach the end of the twine. Carefully add lines of hot glue to box and attach the twine, working upwards. Continue to loop twine around the box until it’s a few inches away from the top.
3. Cuff a pillowcase halfway down or until you reached the desired size for the lining of your box.
4. Line the box with the pillowcase, covering the exterior cardboard.
4. Finally get board games organized
Tidy up your board games and puzzles by stacking them in pot organizers.
5. File holder shelf
Turn a wooden file holder into a shelf by drilling it sideways into a corner wall. Use your new makeshift shelves for magazines, remote controls, extra blankets, or knick knacks if you're tight on space and want some custom storage space.
6. DIY sofa table
Materials
1 plank wood, equal to length of couch
4 staircase spindles cut to height of couch
8 “L” brackets
Jigsaw
Sanding paper
Wood stain
1 extension outlet
Instructions
1. Place the outlet on one of the ends of the plank and trace the perimeter.
2. Use your jigsaw to cut out that square you traced.
3. Use the L brackets to attach the 4 “legs” (spindles) to your table.
4. Stain or paint the entire table.
5. Once dry, put the outlet into the hole you made in the plank. It should be tight enough that the outlet does not fall through.
7. DIY Wine Crate Coffee Table
Materials
4 wine crates
1 square peg board (27"x27" or the size of your table)
4 6-inch table legs
Wood glue
Clamps
Strong tape
Sandpaper
Wood stain (optional)
Instructions
Arrange four wooden crates together on their sides, with the openings facing out (creating shelving).
There should be a small empty space at the center. Glue the sizes together with wood glue, and secure with tape until dry. Cover the top with wood glue, and lay the peg board down, clamping it into place.
Place a ring of wood glue on the tops of each table leg, and push them into the corners of the peg board. Let dry overnight.
Sand down all corners and edges of your table. Wipe away dust with a damp cloth. If desired, you can add two coats of stain to give it a finished look, or to match other furniture.
Enjoy you new coffee table!
8. DIY Convertible Storage Cube Seat
SUPPLIES
4 18x18 planks, 1-inch thick
2 16x18 planks, 1-inch thick
Wood glue
INSTRUCTIONS
Assembling The Cube
1. Make the perimeter of your cube by using wood glue to attach two 18x18 planks and two 16x18 planks. Once the wood glue is dry, reinforce the glued areas with nails every 2 inches.
2. Apply glue to the edges to the wood and place a 18x18 plank on top. Once the wood glue is dry, reinforce with nails.
3. Sand down the entire cube.
4. Wipe off any debris left from sanding.
5. Prime, stain and seal the wood.
6. Screw 4 wheels to the bottom of the cube.
Creating The Cube Lid
1. Repeat steps on a separate 18x18 plank.
2. Create a seat cushion by using spray adhesive to attach a 16x16 piece of foam to a ¼-inch thick piece of wood.
3. Upholster the cushion with durable fabric and a staple gun.
4. Map out a 16x16 space in the center of the 18x18 piece of wood.
5. Sand slightly, wipe away the excess shavings, and add glue the upholstered cushion to the 16x16 space on the lid. Allow 24 hours to fully dry

I love the crate coffee table idea. I seen this done before but this is the easiest one yet! I want to make it for my son's first apartment. I would add the rope covered boxes for discreet storage
Gotta say, some pretty nifty ideas there guys...good job!!
These are some great ideas. I don't care if they're recycled. I've seen plenty of recycled ideas all over KZread. I personally liked the back table behind the sofa and the diy coffee table. Also, I liked the last diy project.
I’m loving all these diys
The shelving for the remote isn't a hiding place. Great idea. Many corners of my apartment this would be good for other items.
I never thought I'd actually like a Buzzfeed channel
The carboard box one is a really nice idea. I don't like to always recycle because it feels wasteful and I'd like to reuse them for moving but just having the boxes takes up space.
Thank for good video..it's so inspiration
I like #6; good idea

where can we get the outlet for number 6
I love you
Have limited seating in your living room? Well don't worry, all you have to do is whip up a handy-dandy chair that requires 12 hours of labor to complete and probably costs just as much to buy a real chair but is definitely easier than just telling your friend to sit on the goddamn floor! Thanks, Buzzfeed!

Don't some markets have wooden crates outside for free? Check around after delivery hours. Call customer service at the location. Ppl complain about everything.

Who just casually has wood crates around their house?

I actually think that wood crate coffee table is neat, but it is not economically efficient. Like you said who just casually has wood crates around their house? You probably have to buy them. I see those wood crates at my local Joann's for $9.99 a piece when they are on sale. So four of them would cost $40. Then you need a peg board (which could cost another $40 or more, according to my research), 4 pegs, tape, glue, giant clips, sand paper, and paint. The final cost would be high enough to get a real storage coffee table. Maybe not the high-end ones, you don't have to make a huge mess in your tiny home to build it.

Where can I find #5 a file holder for cheap? I see on Ikea they have a cardboard 1??? But that won't hold anything? Anybody have a suggestion? I really wanna make this next to my bed for added shelfing?

Lmao same let me hide my remote only to forget where the heck I put it and have a mental breakdown.
I feel like a lot of these things require tools like the staple gun and power driver that were shown and see by the time you're done buying decent tools you've already spent more than what you would have at a consignment furniture place or ikea

A bear bones apple box as a mini-coffee table? At the very least I'd turn it around, but I'd probably throw a small cloth over it that goes with the rest of the living room.

Why so many negative remarks? Don't even bother to watch & thus you may keep your vociferous words to yourselves ... It comes the same when choosing/eating some food: we don't like it, we don't eat it ...

As much as I love yoir videos, Buzzfeed Nifty, can you try not to recycle videos so often? It's becoming quite a bore to watch the same ideas, same clips, in videos that we assumed to have new works. Thanks!
