Brie Larson's living room storage demonstrates a no-fail hack for small homes – designers say it's a 'genius' use of dead space

Brie Larson.

Clutter seems to magically accumulate in every empty corner of the living room, no matter its layout or square footage. From kids' toys to workout equipment, there's quite a bit going on in this catch-all space. That's why honing the living room's storage setup is so vital to creating a stylish, inviting retreat. And sometimes, getting the storage just right means making use of every inch of unused space.

Actress Brie Larson's living room is a stunning example of how discreet under-sofa storage can transform a space. Both functional and easy on the eyes, hidden-away drawers fit seamlessly under the sofa, storing all sorts of essentials without detracting from the room's comfort-forward design scheme. And though under-furniture bins can quickly become a design faux pas when not done right, interior designers love this rendition of the living room storage trick – it makes clever use of 'dead space' in every nook and cranny of the home.
