LEGO Play Mats
We love this idea – a combined play mat and toy storage bag in one! You lay it out to play, then when you’re finished, it’s easy to clean up. The drawstring safely tucks into an internal pocket when in use, or back into the bag for storage.
Available from Amazon.co.uk, similar product on Amazon.com
Rainbow Tower
This could be an excellent LEGO storage option! It’s a rainbow-coloured drawer tower so your child can keep LEGO sorted by colour. It also includes castors for easy transportation, making it handy for wheeling around the playroom.
Available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
LEGO Build and Store Unit
We love this Build and Store Toy Unit by HelloHome. It features two removable shelves so your child can take a shelf out, build their creation and slide it back into the unit for display.
Each reversible shelf has a building plate on one side for play and display, and is smooth on the reverse for displaying books and toys. There’s also a large pull-out storage drawer and carry handles to move it from room to room.

Coffee Table Turned LEGO Play Table

Strictly speaking, there’s no LEGO storage in this weekend project to turn an old coffee table into a LEGO play table, but the idea was so good we had to include it. You’ll find the details and instructions over on Sweet Paper Treats.
Mum Brenda didn’t like the idea of the building plates becoming a permanent part of the table, so she came up with a solution that lets her son move the plates around or remove them altogether to use the table for other play.
LEGO Organiser Cubes Set
This is a nifty idea – a set of nesting cubes that fit inside each other and store flat when not in use. Each cube has a clear window to easily see what’s inside, and the three pieces fit together or work individually.

LEGO Activity Table with Board
The KidKraft 2-in-1 Activity Table with Board features a reversible tabletop with an illustrated play surface on one side and a building brick surface on the other. It has rounded corners for safety and sturdy construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to store LEGO bricks?
There’s no single “best” answer – it depends on your space and how your child plays. Drawer towers and stacking bins are great for sorting by colour or size, a dedicated LEGO table keeps building and storage in one spot, and under-bed drawers are ideal if floor space is tight.
How can I stop LEGO pieces ending up all over the floor?
A play mat that doubles as a storage bag is one of the easiest fixes – kids build on it, then pull the drawstring and the mess is contained. Having a clear “home” for LEGO, like a labelled bin or drawer, also makes tidy-up time much quicker.
Should I sort LEGO by colour, size or set?
Whatever your child will actually use! Younger children often find sorting by colour or size easier, while older kids building specific sets may prefer keeping pieces grouped by set. A tiered or multi-drawer unit lets you do a bit of both.
How do I store finished LEGO creations without pulling them apart?
Look for units with removable, reversible shelves with a building plate built in. Your child can build directly on the plate, then slide the whole shelf back into the storage unit for safe display.
