Best Solutions for LEGO Storage

Hopefully your LEGO storage looks more like the right of the picture than the left. However, it is not uncommon that LEGO bricks are stored in multiple containers with no easy way to see what is inside! This post will cover the best solutions for LEGO storage. Included are some of our favorite storage containers and solutions.

IRIS Storage Solutions

IRIS is a great brand for your storage needs. We have several of the below storage containers for organizing our collection. The latched lids are great for kids to carry around so the bricks don’t fall out.

6-Case Activity Chest with Organizer Top

This activity chest by IRIS comes with 6 removable multicolored cases. Each of these cases has an attached lid. The lid latches on well for easy transport and to keep the LEGO bricks from falling out. The assorted colors are nice for a children’s room or toy room. We have one of these units in our LEGO room and it works very well. I like that the cases slide in and out easily.

2-Piece Sorting Tray Dividing Set

These sorting trays by IRIS come in a set of two. They fit perfectly inside the above activity cases. They are very helpful to sort and store accessories, small bricks, or one-of-a-kind pieces. We have a set of these which we use to sort minifigure accessories, bricks with decorations or patterns, and vehicle accessories, such as steering wheels.

6-Case Scrapbook Cart with Organizer Top

This scrapbook cart by IRIS also comes with 6 removable cases. The cases are clear, but the outside tower comes in white or black. These cases are larger than the ones in the activity chest above. Therefore, they will not fit the sorting trays as well. However, the larger case size allows a lot more LEGO bricks to fit inside. The cases latch well so the bricks cannot fall out. We also have one of these in our LEGO room.

10-Drawer Cart with Organizer Top

This storage cart by IRIS comes with 10 drawers. Each drawer has plastic tabs in the back to prevent it from falling out, but they are also removable by pressing the sides in pulling the drawer out. Adult assistance would be required to remove the drawer. We have one of these carts in our LEGO room. We use it to store wheels and other larger items such as plates. The cart also comes in 4-drawer and 7-drawer sizes.

Storage Cabinets

Storage cabinets with drawers of varying sizes are a great way to sort smaller bricks or pieces.

44-Drawer Storage Hardware and Craft Cabinet

This storage cabinet by Akro-Mils comes with 44-drawers. Only 8 small drawer dividers and 4 large drawer dividers are included, but not all storage cabinets have the ability to support dividers. Storage cabinets like these are great for LEGO storage. Be sure to store it in a place where it can’t fall over! We don’t have one of these yet in our LEGO room, but it is on our list! They come in many different sizes, such as 24-drawer and 64-drawer.

Storage Containers

Storage containers are great for storing complete sets, instruction manuals, and bricks with decorations or patterns. They come in many different sizes and are stackable. We like to store several smaller containers inside the larger ones to stay even more organized!

6-Quart/5.7 Liter Storage Boxes

These small storage boxes by Sterilite are great to store individual LEGO sets, instruction manuals, or loose bricks. You can even stack and store several small boxes together in a larger box. They are clear which makes it convenient to see what is stored inside. We have several of these in our collection for storing complete LEGO sets.

We hope that these LEGO storage solutions help organize your collection! Let us know in the comments what your favorite storage solutions are!
