Lego storage isn’t just about keeping your home tidy. Freeing your living space from cluttered piles of plastic bricks heaped in miscellaneous boxes sure is rewarding – and should save the souls of your feet from studded misery. But the real reason to store Lego well is to help you build well, spending your time easily accessing the right parts instead of rifling through mixed elements.
That’s not to say, however, that the best ways to store Lego all serve the same purpose. If you’re a custom builder who takes apart official sets as soon as they’re completed to get on with making your models, you’ll have very different needs from a young family trying to keep Lego’s plastic palette in one place. Or perhaps you’re a Minifig collector eager to combine storage and display (in that case, you should also check our guide to the rarest Lego Minifigures ever).
The list below, then, offers the very best Lego storage ideas for all kinds of builders. It might not solve whether you should sort by color or parts (spoiler: we think parts are easier), but it will give you a guide whatever your needs – across a range of budgets.
