Best Furniture With Hidden Board Game Storage

You’ve gotten on board with this whole board game thing. You’ve got the coolest card games, the craziest board games, the wackiest co-ops and even a few solitaire games. But, where are you going to keep all those boxes, tins, bags and scorecards?

Effective, beautiful, hidden storage has been of great interest to us since minimalist Mom #1 started playing Sneaky Cards with our maximalist Mom #2 who has hoards of Age Of Sigmar armies. Here are just a few of the secret storage solutions we’ve found along the way.

Camabel 43 Inch Folding Storage Ottoman Bench

No living room is complete without an ottoman with built-in storage, and this faux leather storage solution takes the cake. Available in a variety of colors, you’ll be able to find one that matches your home décor, helping your game stash blend in with your family room. We love its extra-large size, and versatility for storing game boxes, dice towers and MTG playmats. Camabel 43 Inch Folding Storage Ottoman Bench Here.

LUMISOL Narrow Side Table with USB Ports and Outlets

This side table doesn’t have tons of storage, but the options it does boast makes it worth having in any gamer home. The traditional look helps it to blend in with regular furniture, and the built-in cup holders and charging outlets make it a game room essential. The cabinet is suitable for small game boxes, multiple decks of cards, and game controllers. Find the LUMISOL Narrow Side Table with USB Ports and Outlets on Amazon Here.

STASH Folding Kids Sofa Chair with Built in Storage

We love kids’ furniture, but we love multi-functional kids’ furniture even more. This awesome child-sized chair not only makes comfortable seating for smaller children, but it also hides a spacious storage cubby for kid games or puzzles. When your child outgrows it, the chair folds into an ottoman for continued use. Find the STASH Folding Kids Sofa Chair with Built in Storage on Amazon Here.

Microfiber Sectional Sleeper Sofa with Pull Out Bed, Chaise and Storage Ottoman

Now we’re getting into the Big Bertha’s of storage. What if your couch wasn’t just a couch? What if it could store an entire bookshelf worth of games? That’s exactly what this sectional has in mind with storage built into the chaise lounges. Simply lift upward on the cushions of the chaise lounges to reveal hidden storage compartments.
