The Best Record Storage Solutions? Cabinets, Crates, & More

Unlike streaming services, of course, records take up space. As your collection grows, you’ll need to find more spaces in your home to store your prized vinyl records. If your living space is relatively large, this could be as simple as up-sizing your storage cabinet. However, if space comes at a premium in your home, you might need to get increasingly creative in finding additional space each time you return from the record store with another stack of wax.

In this video, we explore some of the better st record storage solutions beyond the IKEA KALLAX to give you inspiration about how to store your record collection.

The real gems of record cabinetry are the 1960s/1970s Lane Furnishing Pull open record cabinets. Made of quality hardwoods and beautiful to look at. I have one of the nicest rare ones that I was lucky to come by.

Very good record storage solution are square (35x35x25) IKEA Eket shelves. When shelf is put on the back, the records fit in perfectly from the top and are slightly protruding, allowing easy browsing through your collection.

Great job on the cabinet! The legs and paint job fit the style perfectly.

for what it's worth, Ikea also sells a sort of box with two foot stools which is pretty excellent. the top is a good coffee table and, when you take the footstools out, it's just the right size to be a good record box (12''x12''x36'')

New sub. Love this video and anything vinyl related. Look forward to delving into your content.

I live in a small flat. I use Vinyl crates that I purchase from my local Record Store. To date I’ve 5 crates stored against a wall in my living area. Each crate holds between 50 or 60 albums so far I’ve filled four and a half crates. Mind I don’t buy everything, just Jazz, The Blues and Vintage Soul, good job really as I don’t have the space lo.

I am very happy with my Flipbin as I have on top of my ~1000 record collection as a New Arrivals bin, fits about 35 records and looks cool! 👍

Thanks again for another nuanced breakdown of practical solutions for the hobby. You need more subscribers, for sure given your quality of content.

What’s the blue grey unit that you have? Nice to see a good colour!
That mid century one you updated looks great!!! Cheers, Rob

I'm looking for a cheap but nice holder for about 50 7" 45 rpm records. Something just big enough to fit them so they won't go sliding around.

[carmenponce]

I've had the uo rack for years and the first records get a little squished on the edges, so i'd recommend it if you put a few records but keeping it full damages them :(

Does tv screen affect or damage vinyl records if they are shelved next to it or underneath it?

[mckeemichael]

Am I overlooking a link to the Bespoke unit?

[Lee.Higginbotham]

I don't have just lp's but lots of cd's and dvd's. And books on different bands, labels etc... Definitely have too much stuff!! 😳😳😳

[garypeach]

What about Really Useful Products range of boxes? 😉

[billdenton]

That was another vinyl storage disappointment. The truth is that there is no revolutionary storage and display solution. Just more videos of the same old stuff....

I know what everyone needs for vinyl storage. Comment me and I will explain easy (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
